Randomized Controlled Trial
High-Flow Nasal Cannula Therapy With Early Extubation for Subjects Undergoing Off-Pump Coronary Artery Bypass Graft Surgery.
The effects of high-flow nasal cannula (HFNC) therapy on postoperative atelectasis and duration of oxygen therapy after off-pump coronary artery bypass graft are unknown. The purpose of this study was to compare the effects of HFNC therapy for subjects who underwent off-pump coronary artery bypass graft with the effects of standard oxygen therapy in terms of oxygen requirement and atelectasis. ⋯ Using HFNC therapy after off-pump coronary artery bypass graft shortened the duration of oxygen therapy and reduced the percentage loss of lung volume and total amount of oxygen administered when compared with standard oxygen therapy.

Randomized Controlled Trial
Physical Exercise Combined With CPAP in Subjects Who Underwent Surgical Myocardial Revascularization: A Randomized Clinical Trial.
Aerobic exercise and CPAP benefit patients in the postoperative period of cardiac surgery. To our knowledge, the association of aerobic exercise on an exercise bicycle with CPAP has not yet been demonstrated. Therefore, we aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of physical exercise on a cycle ergometer combined with CPAP in the postoperative period after coronary artery bypass graft surgery. ⋯ Physical exercise combined with CPAP promoted the maintenance of functional capacity and reduced the length of stay in the ICU.
