Article Synopsis
- The study evaluated the respiratory and clinical outcomes of 108 patients undergoing elective CABG surgery at a cardiology hospital in South Brazil.
- Significant decreases in lung function measures (FEV1 and FVC) and ventilatory muscle strength were noted from preoperative assessments to the sixth day post-surgery.
- The results indicated a higher incidence of pulmonary complications on the sixth postoperative day compared to the first day, highlighting the need for monitoring and management of respiratory function after CABG surgery.
