Protocol summary

Study aim
Comparison of the impacts of progressive early physical rehabilitation & early comprehensive rehabilitation on patients' outcomes in patients undergoing coronary artery bypass graft surgery
Design
This study is a single-blinded randomized clinical trial with a parallel three-arm design. Eligible samples will be randomly assigned to a control group and two intervention groups in a 1:1:1 ratio. Random allocation sequences will be generated using RAS by a non-research person, with random blocking using 3 and 6 blocks for allocation in the three groups.
Settings and conduct
The study will be conducted in the ICU ward of Shahid Madani Hospital in Tabriz on patients undergoing CABG surgery. Blinding in this study will be carried out using sealed opaque envelopes, and sequential numbering from one to the end will be used. The statistical analyst and outcome assessor will be blinded.
Participants/Inclusion and exclusion criteria
Inclusion criteria : Four-score more than 16; Age older than 18; ; Stable hemodynamics; No musculoskeletal issues; No amputations, No sensory& cognitive problems, cerebral vascular accidents, brain injury, radiotherapy, or chemotherapy. Exclusion criteria : History of arrest, activity-induced syncope, mechanical ventilation over 24 hours, tachycardia, bradycardia, ventricular dysrhythmias, opened sternum
Intervention groups
research involves 3 groups: 2 intervention groups and 1 control group. The control group receives routine rehabilitation, while the first intervention group undergoes comprehensive rehabilitation (physical, mental, and educational )for thirty days after discharge. The second intervention group focuses solely on physical rehabilitation for the same duration.
Main outcome variables
Fatigue; functional independence; depression; anxiety;medication adherence ; quality of life

Purpose
Supportive
Inclusion/Exclusion criteria
Inclusion criteria:
ّFour Score scale equal to 16 patients who are candidates for non-emergency coronary artery bypass surgery over 18 years old patients with the ability to speak Farsi or Turkish stable hemodynamic status without taking cardiac inotropic drugs

Randomization (investigator's opinion)
Randomized
Randomization description
Eligible available samples will be randomly assigned to the control group, The First Intervention group, and the Second Intervention group by assigning a 1: 1: 1 ratio. Random Allocation Sequences will be generated by the non-research person using RAS (Random Allocation Software) Software and Random Blocking will be generated using blocks of size 3 and 6 for Allocation in three groups (two intervention groups and one control group). The allocation concealment will be done based on the generated sequence using opaque, closed and uniform envelopes numbered from number 1 to the end. The first person to enter the study will be given envelope number 1 and this process will continue until the end.
Blinding (investigator's opinion)
Single blinded
Blinding description
Allocation concealment will be done based on the generated sequence using opaque, sealed envelopes numbered from 1 to the last. The first person who enters the study will be given envelope number 1 and this process will continue until the end. Therefore, the researcher and the research subject will not have any information about the type of allocation received until after the envelopes are opened. In this study, the statistical analyst and outcome reviewer will be blinded.

Description
Intervention group 1: A comprehensive rehabilitation intervention will be used, conducted by the comprehensive rehabilitation team, including a heart surgeon, an anesthesiologist, and a researcher. Rehabilitation will begin one day before the surgical operation during the patient's hospitalization and will continue up to 30 days after discharge through weekly follow-up phone calls. It includes 4 components: physical rehabilitation, educational support, and relaxation. Physical rehabilitation includes exercises during hospitalization, such as breathing exercises, spirometry, walking, neck exercises, and post-discharge exercises, including walking at home and strengthening exercises for leg muscles (sitting and standing). Hospital-based exercises start 24 hours after the surgical operation and continue until discharge. They include 7-10 deep breathing exercises, spirometry exercises 4 times a day for 3-5 minutes until transfer from the intensive care unit to the surgical ward, and walking exercises until discharge from the hospital. Neck exercises consist of 10 repetitions, twice a day until discharge from the hospital. Post-discharge physical exercises include walking exercises for 30 days in 5-day episodes. Additionally, leg muscle strengthening exercises, including sitting and standing exercises, are performed at home in 2 episodes per day, each consisting of 10 repetitions. This educational component includes 3 sessions from pre-surgery to discharge, covering the nature of the disease, disease risk factors and exacerbating factors, medical and surgical treatments, familiarity with prescribed medications, awareness of the procedure type and its side effects, common complaints, treatment goals, attitude adjustment and expectations, familiarity with the intensive care unit environment, education on the importance of healthy behaviors, healthy and appropriate nutrition, physical exercises, blood pressure control, underlying diseases, personal risk factors, understanding signs of cardiac and vascular insufficiency, motivation to eliminate personal risk factors, and instilling the ability to control the disease and improve quality of life. Solutions to avoid stressful environments, including emotional control methods, emotional management counseling, and encouragement to participate in cardiac rehabilitation programs, are also provided. All the education provided and home care and rehabilitation instructions, including daily walking according to the protocol and the booklet provided to the patient in the first session, will be carried out. Relaxation techniques include 1 instructional session with the patient and performing techniques from the third day after the operation or admission to the surgical ward until 30 days after discharge, under hospital supervision and through follow-up phone calls. This includes teaching rhythmic breathing, then asking the intervention group patients to perform rhythmic breathing for 20 minutes, once every 5 minutes, and each time for 1 minute, as instructed. During the intervention, patients will not receive any supplemental oxygen. Additionally, progressive muscle relaxation is performed in the same relaxation session. The patient will perform this technique 4 times a day for 20 minutes and will be encouraged by the researcher to continue these techniques until discharge and at home, at least twice a day, with 2 repetitions each time.
