Official title: Early Cardiopulmonary Rehabilitation Bundle: Its' Effect On Functional Capacity and Outcomes of Cardiac Surgeries Patients
Run by Assiut University · NCT07724353 · Data updated 2026-11-12
A group of 140 adults who recently had heart surgery will try an early cardiopulmonary rehab program to see if it helps their daily function and outcomes compared with a similar group not receiving the program.

Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Adults aged 18–65 who are hemodynamically stable after cardiac surgery and willing to participate.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients who are re-operating, have intraoperative arrhythmias, require non-elective surgery, or have EURO categories 3–4 may not benefit.

What this trial studies
This quasi-experimental study compares two groups of cardiac surgery patients to see whether an early cardiopulmonary rehabilitation bundle improves functional capacity and postoperative outcomes. It plans to enroll 140 participants, with 70 in the intervention group and 70 in the control group, all aged 18–65 and hemodynamically stable after surgery. The intervention is an early rehabilitation bundle aimed at supporting cardiopulmonary function during recovery. The trial is conducted at Assiut University Heart Hospital and Assiut University Hospital, with Assiut University as the lead sponsor. No collaborators are listed for this study.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, patients may regain functional ability sooner and experience better postoperative outcomes after cardiac surgery.
How similar studies have gone: The description does not specify prior results for similar approaches; applicability to this setting is to be determined.
