Preoperative prediction models for postoperative delirium in cardiac surgery patients - a scoping review.

Background: Postoperative delirium is believed to be preventable in up to 40% of all cases. Researchers have proposed various preoperative risk prediction models for postoperative delirium in patients undergoing cardiac surgery, however, no consensus exists on which model is the most suitable.

Aim: To identify and map existing preoperative risk prediction models, detecting cardiac surgery patients at elevated risk of developing postoperative delirium.

Prehabilitation before elective coronary artery bypass grafting surgery: a scoping review.

Objective: The objective of this scoping review was to identify and map existing preoperative interventions, referred to as prehabilitation, in adult patients at home awaiting elective coronary artery bypass grafting surgery. This review also sought to report feasibility and patient experiences to shape clinical practice and underpin a future systematic review.

Introduction: As patients age, comorbidities become more common.

Prehabilitation before elective coronary artery bypass grafting surgery: a scoping review protocol.

Objective: The objective of this scoping review is to identify and map existing preoperative interventions, referred to as prehabilitation, in adult patients at home awaiting coronary bypass grafting (CABG) surgery. This scoping review also seeks to examine the feasibility and patient experiences in order to inform clinical practice and underpin a future systematic review.

Early physical training and psycho-educational intervention for patients undergoing coronary artery bypass grafting. The SheppHeart randomized 2 × 2 factorial clinical pilot trial.

Background: Patients undergoing coronary artery bypass graft surgery often experience a range of problems and symptoms such as immobility, pain and insufficient sleep. Results from trials investigating testing in-hospital physical exercise or psychological intervention have been promising. However, no randomized clinical trials have tested a comprehensive rehabilitation programme consisting of both physical exercise and psycho-education in the early rehabilitation phase.
