Effects of massage therapy on sleep quality after coronary artery bypass graft surgery.

ABSTRACT: INTRODUCTION:Having poor sleep quality is common among patients following cardiopulmonary artery bypass graft surgery. Pain, stress, anxiety and poor sleep quality may be improved by massage therapy. OBJECTIVE:This study evaluated whether massage therapy is an effective technique for improving sleep quality in patients following cardiopulmonary artery bypass graft surgery. METHOD:Participants included cardiopulmonary artery bypass graft surgery patients who were randomized into a control group and a massage therapy group following discharge from the intensive care unit (Day 0), during the postoperative period. The control group and the massage therapy group comprised participants who were subjected to three nights without massage and three nights with massage therapy, respectively. The patients were evaluated on the following mornings (i.e., Day 1 to Day 3) using a visual analogue scale for pain in the chest, back and shoulders, in addition to fatigue and sleep. Participants kept a sleep diary during the study period. RESULTS:Fifty-seven cardiopulmonary artery bypass graft surgery patients were enrolled in the study during the preoperative period, 17 of whom were excluded due to postoperative complications. The remaining 40 participants (male: 67.5%, age: 61.9 years ± 8.9 years, body mass index: 27.2 kg/m² ± 3.7 kg/m²) were randomized into control (n = 20) and massage therapy (n = 20) groups. Pain in the chest, shoulders, and back decreased significantly in both groups from Day 1 to Day 3. The participants in the massage therapy group had fewer complaints of fatigue on Day 1 (p=0.006) and Day 2 (p=0.028) in addition, they reported a more effective sleep during all three days (p=0.019) when compared with the participants in the control group. CONCLUSION:Massage therapy is an effective technique for improving patient recovery from cardiopulmonary artery bypass graft surgery because it reduces fatigue and improves sleep.

Project description:The purpose of this study was to determine if an incomplete response to or inadequate antiplatelet effect of aspirin, or both, contribute to saphenous vein graft (SVG) occlusion after coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery.Thrombosis is the predominant cause of early SVG occlusion. Aspirin, which inhibits cyclooxygenase-1 activity and thromboxane generation in platelets, reduces early SVG occlusion by one-half.Aspirin responsiveness and platelet reactivity were characterized 3 days and 6 months after coronary artery bypass graft surgery in 229 subjects receiving aspirin monotherapy by platelet aggregation to arachidonic acid, adenosine diphosphate, collagen and epinephrine, Platelet Function Analyzer-100 (Siemens Healthcare Diagnostics, Newark, Delaware) closure time (CT) using collagen/epinephrine agonist cartridge and collagen/adenosine diphosphate (CADP) agonist cartridge, VerifyNow Aspirin assay (Accumetrics, Inc., San Diego, California), and urine levels of 11-dehydro-thromboxane B(2) (UTXB(2)). SVG patency was determined 6 months after surgery by computed tomography coronary angiography.Inhibited arachidonic acid-induced platelet aggregation, indicative of aspirin-mediated cyclooxygenase-1 suppression, occurred in 95% and >99% of subjects 3 days and 6 months after surgery, respectively. Despite this, 73% and 31% of subjects at these times had elevated UTXB(2). Among tested parameters, only UTXB(2) and CADP CT measured 6 months after surgery correlated with outcome. By multivariate analysis, CADP CT of ?88 s (odds ratio: 2.85, p = 0.006), target vessel diameter of ?1.5 mm (odds ratio: 2.38, p = 0.01), and UTXB(2) of ?450 pg/mg creatinine (odds ratio: 2.59, p = 0.015) correlated with SVG occlusion. CADP CT and UTXB(2) in combination further identified subjects at particularly high and low risk for SVG occlusion.Aspirin-insensitive thromboxane generation measured by UTXB(2) and shear-dependent platelet hyper-reactivity measured by Platelet Function Analyzer-100 CADP CT are novel independent risk factors for early SVG thrombosis after coronary artery bypass graft surgery.
