To evaluate physiotherapy practices in the rehabilitation of patients undergoing coronary artery bypass grafting.
The cross-sectional study was conducted from October 2016 to January 2017 in cardiac care units of two private and two government hospitals in Karachi, and comprised physiotherapists dealing with patients undergoing coronary artery bypass grafting. Data was collected using a modified and validated version of 'tucker q' questionnaire. Data was analysed using SPSS 21.
Of the 101 physiotherapists, 60(59.4%) were females and 41(40.6%) were males. The overall work experience was 4.89+2.08 years. Of the total, 60(59.4%) physiotherapists used air suctioning in preoperative physiotherapy practices. Relaxation techniques were used by 86(85.10%) professionals and postural drainage by 85(84.20%), while breathing exercises were used by 65(64.4%) subjects in postoperative physiotherapy practices.
Physiotherapists were found to be more or less keeping abreast with advances made regarding managing patients undergoing cardiac artery bypass grafting.
评估物理疗法在冠状动脉旁路移植术患者康复中的应用。
本横断面研究于 2016 年 10 月至 2017 年 1 月在卡拉奇的两家私立医院和两家公立医院的心脏护理病房进行，研究对象为从事冠状动脉旁路移植术患者治疗的物理治疗师。使用改良和验证后的“tucker q”问卷收集数据。使用 SPSS 21 进行数据分析。
在 101 名物理治疗师中，60 名（59.4%）为女性，41 名（40.6%）为男性。整体工作经验为 4.89+2.08 年。总的来说，60 名（59.4%）物理治疗师在术前物理治疗实践中使用空气抽吸。86 名（85.10%）专业人员使用放松技术，85 名（84.20%）使用体位引流，而 65 名（64.4%）患者在术后物理治疗中使用呼吸练习。
研究发现，物理治疗师在管理接受冠状动脉旁路移植术的患者方面或多或少地跟上了最新进展。
