Prehabilitation in patients awaiting elective coronary artery bypass graft surgery – effects on functional capacity and quality of life: a randomized controlled trial
- Objective: To determine the impact of an exercise-based prehabilitation (EBPrehab) program on preand postoperative exercise capacity, functional capacity (FC) and quality of life (QoL) in patients awaiting elective coronary artery bypass graft surgery (CABG). Design: A two-group randomized controlled trail. Setting: Ambulatory prehabilitation. Subjects: Overall 230 preoperative elective CABG-surgery patients were randomly assigned to an intervention (IG, n=88; n=27 withdrew after randomization) or control group (CG, n=115). Intervention: IG: two-week EBPrehab including supervised aerobic exercise. CG: usual care. Main measures: At baseline (T1), one day before surgery (T2), at the beginning (T3) and at the end of cardiac rehabilitation (T4) the following measurements were performed: cardiopulmonary exercise test, six-minute walk test (6MWT), Timed-Up-and-Go Test (TUG) and QoL (MacNew questionnaire). Results: A total of 171 patients (IG, n=81; CG, n=90) completed the study. During EBPrehab no complications occurred. Preoperatively FC (6MWTIG: 443.0±80.1m to 493.5±75.5m, P=0.003; TUGIG: 6.9±2.0 s to 6.1±1.8 s, P=0.018) and QoL (IG: 5.1±0.9 to 5.4±0.9, P<0.001) improved significantly more in IG compared to CG. Similar effects were observed postoperatively in FC (6MWDIG: Δ-64.7m, pT1–T3=0.013; Δ+47.2m, pT1–T4<0.001; TUGIG: Δ+1.4s, pT1–T3=0.003). Conclusions: A short-term EBPrehab is effective to improve perioperative FC and preoperative QoL in patients with stable coronary artery disease awaiting CABG-surgery.
