This information is provided directly by researchers, and we recognise that it isn't always easy to understand. We are working with researchers to improve the accessibility of this information. In some summaries, you may come across links to external websites. These websites will have more information to help you better understand the study.


This is a single centre, single arm pilot feasibility study to determine the feasibility and practicality of prehabilitation in acute inpatients waiting for cardiac surgery. We will be looking into participant eligibility, acceptability, recruitment rates, completion rates and barriers to implementing a prehabilitation programme. Secondary outcomes include safety (incidence of adverse events directly related to the study), improvement in 6 minutes walk test (6MWT), hand grip strength, quality of life, and spirometry. At the end of the trial, we will be seeking the feedback of the participants to help us improve the design further.

Start dates may differ between countries and research sites. The research team are responsible for keeping the information up-to-date.

INTERVENTIONAL

Intervention Type : OTHER
Intervention Description : Participants will be exposed to exercise and psychoeducation. Aerobic exercise will be on a cycle ergometer tailored to their capability and will aim for a low to moderate intensity.The patients will be exercised using the intermittent protocol of alternating 1 minute moderate and 1 minute low intensity aerobic exercise. This duration can be gradually increased during subsequent sessions depending on the patient's ability. Aerobic exercise will be conducted 2- 3 times per week depending on patient's ability.

In addition, participants are expected to do strength and inspiratory muscle training in their own time.

The psychoeducation booklet and audio are designed with input from in-house clinical psychologist. The aim of the booklet is to explain the emotions they may feel whilst being in hospital, symptoms of anxiety, suggest how to manage anxiety, behavioural strategies that may help and signposting if they require further support.
