Brief 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.
