Summary

The objective of this study is to investigate the effects of a program of early mobilization in the functional capacity in patients undergoing coronary artery bypass grafting in short and long- term.

Detailed description

The hypotheses this study is that patients if conduct the program of early mobilization during hospitalization achieve better performance in the walk test (distance) at hospital discharge and 60 days after the surgical procedure compared to patients who only carry out the program of respiratory exercises. Intervention and control groups will receive breathing exercises up to 24 hours postoperatively, and the intervention group will also receive early mobilization exercises.

Conditions

• Postoperative; Dysfunction Following Cardiac Surgery

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
OTHER	Interventional Group	Respiratory exercises will be performed and subsequently active upper limb exercises will be conducted (flexion-extension and adduction-abduction) of large joints (shoulder, elbow and wrist) Associated with upper limb exercises, patients will undergo a series of exercises ergometer with lower limb (LL). The mobilization will be conducted on a cycle ergometer in an active, lasting 20 minutes, divided into three steps: heat 5 minutes; 10 minutes of low intensity exercise, with a speed of 30 revolutions per minute (rpm); and 5 minutes recovery. The patient remains in the supine position with the head of the bed elevated to 45 degrees, while the lower limbs will remain planned. After positioning the patient, the ergometer is adjusted.
OTHER	Control group	The patients will oriented to maintain sitting position and perform deep breaths (3 sets of 10 repetitions) in each session. They will receive the intervention once a day, for 30 minutes until 7th postoperative day. In addition, non invasive ventilation will be installed after orotracheal extubation for 30 to 60 minutes.
