What this trial studies
This trial aims to assess the effectiveness of a rapid recovery protocol for patients undergoing coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) at a hospital in Brazil. It is a randomized and prospective study comparing outcomes between patients receiving the rapid recovery protocol and those following standard care. The primary focus is on postoperative hospital stay duration, while secondary objectives include evaluating morbidity, mortality, patient satisfaction, costs, and healthcare team adherence to the protocol. The study seeks to improve recovery outcomes for patients undergoing CABG.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this study could lead to shorter hospital stays and improved recovery experiences for patients undergoing CABG.
How similar studies have gone: Other studies have shown promising results with rapid recovery protocols in surgical settings, indicating potential for success in this approach.
