Summary

Countless studies are performed to quantify the severity of heart disease and its influence on the respiratory system, checking that their heart conditions and the surgical process determine pulmonary complications, one of the most common causes of morbidity and mortality in the postoperative period of cardiac surgery . After surgical procedures, there is a reduction of the residual volume (RV), total lung capacity (TLC), vital capacity (VC) and functional residual capacity (FRC), leading to the formation of atelectasis, with alterations in the ventilation-perfusion ( V / Q), the partial pressure of carbon dioxide in arterial blood (PaCO2) and partial pressure of oxygen in arterial blood (PaO 2).

Pulmonary function is impaired in the postoperative period of cardiac surgery, due to various factors common to this major surgery that will drive the patient to develop respiratory complications such as atelectasis and pneumonia. Physical therapy plays an important role in the treatment of patients undergoing cardiac surgery, both in the preoperative period and postoperative, in order to prevent or minimize the respiratory complications.

Follow-up studies on cardiac rehabilitation quantify the quality of all the activities necessary to ensure to patients with heart disease patients the best physical , mental and social conditions so that consequently they are able , with its effort to regain a normal position in the community and lead a active and productive life over time, therefore, the clinical changes resulting from an extensive cardiac surgery are already highly dedicated described in literature but which daily life factors or rehabilitation interventions that the patient will take in the late postoperative period that really assisted in his complete recovery and inclusion into society they are still not well elucidated , so it is appropriate to carry out this project due to the fact exposed to up.

The project to be developed whose main justification clarify issues related to the return or preservation of the individual feature that undergoes extensive cardiac procedure , as well as incidence of mortality after 12 months of the procedure. The current literature does not expressed clearly, possible impacts on functionality and return the daily activities of the individual in the late postoperative period , since such malfunctions in the immediate post operative period are already fully understood.

Conditions

  • Heart; Dysfunction Postoperative, Cardiac Surgery

Interventions

OTHER

cardiac surgery

Surgical cardiac procedures despite benefiting the clinical condition of the patient with potential increased survival and reduced risk of death can cause both immediate and long-term functional changes that may influence the appropriate re-inclusion of this individual the daily life practices as well as labor and social activities. Such changes resulting from surgical procedures in the short term are already well documented but the occurrence of these same changes in the late period and its influence on patient's daily lives are not well documented.
