Abstract
Background
Enhanced respiratory muscle management is imperative in cardiac surgery patients due to their universal risk of decreased perioperative respiratory muscle strength.
Objectives
Most existing articles primarily examine respiratory muscle exercise during either the preoperative, postoperative, or at-home phases. Consequently, there is a crucial need to consolidate the evidence for respiratory muscle exercise throughout the perioperative period of cardiac surgery.
Methods
A literature search was performed, encompassing guideline networks and databases up until July 2023. The literature was classified into seven thematic categories: preoperative assessment, patient education, trainers, training plans, quality control, safety monitoring, and outcome assessment. The quality of the included literature was assessed using the GRAGE evidence grading system to ascertain the level of recommendation associated with each piece of evidence.
Results
Nineteen papers were reviewed, encompassing 24 suggestions. These consisted of two suggestions on preoperative assessment, four on patient education, two on trainers, six on training programs, seven on quality control, two on safety monitoring, and one on outcome assessment. All 24 suggestions were categorized as strong recommendations, with 14 classified as high-quality evidence and ten as moderate-quality evidence.
Conclusions
Our study presents a succinct synthesis of the most robust evidence available on perioperative respiratory muscle exercise in cardiac surgery patients. We identified ten high-quality suggestions while an additional 14 moderate-quality suggestions. In the context of perioperative exercise, we recommend that moderate-intensity inspiratory muscle exercises be provided during the preoperative and postoperative phases upon transfer to the ward. We advocate for the implementation of low-intensity inspiratory muscle exercises during the postoperative phase while patients are in the intensive care unit.
期刊介绍:
Heart & Lung: The Journal of Cardiopulmonary and Acute Care, the official publication of The American Association of Heart Failure Nurses, presents original, peer-reviewed articles on techniques, advances, investigations, and observations related to the care of patients with acute and critical illness and patients with chronic cardiac or pulmonary disorders.
The Journal''s acute care articles focus on the care of hospitalized patients, including those in the critical and acute care settings. Because most patients who are hospitalized in acute and critical care settings have chronic conditions, we are also interested in the chronically critically ill, the care of patients with chronic cardiopulmonary disorders, their rehabilitation, and disease prevention. The Journal''s heart failure articles focus on all aspects of the care of patients with this condition. Manuscripts that are relevant to populations across the human lifespan are welcome.
