Summary

Background. Cardiovascular diseases are a major cause of morbidity and mortality. The management of these patients requires multidisciplinary therapeutic approaches. Physiotherapy plays a fundamental role in the postoperative management of patients undergoing cardiac surgery.

Objective: To analyse the relationship between the administration of a physiotherapy intervention and the time spent in the cardiac ICU and on the ward.

Method. Retrospective cohort study. The medical records of 110 patients undergoing cardiac surgery who received a Physiotherapy intervention during their stay in the Intensive Care Unit will be analysed. Data will be collected from patients admitted to the cardiac ICU in 2023. The variables assessed will be: length of stay in ICU and hospital admission (days), age (years completed), weight (kg) and sex. A one-factor analysis of variance will be performed to calculate the association between the variables and a linear regression analysis will be used to describe the hospital stay variables as a function of the other predictor variables.

Expected outcomes. Physiotherapy treatment in an Intensive Care Unit improves ICU and hospital stay times in patients undergoing cardiac surgery.

Observation

The clinical, post-surgical and anthropometric variables of the patients, as well as the time spent in the Intensive Care Unit and on the hospital ward (in days) were collected in the Clinical Histories. The collection of data from the Clinical Histories will be carried out by the principal investigator, an employee of the Hospital Universitario Central de Asturias, in accordance with current data protection regulations, scrupulously complying with the anonymous collection of clinical data, and without collecting any data that could allow the identification of the patients whose data were collected. The data from the Clinical Histories will be exported to an Excel file which will subsequently be anonymised. Access to the Excel file will require a password access that will be managed from a computer of the University of Oviedo (Department of Surgery and Medical-Surgical Specialties).
