Abstract:
Objective To investigate six-minute walk distancc (6MWD) of inpatients underwent cardiac surgery before discharge and to identify its influencing factors,and to provide references for further studies of hospital rehabilitation.Methods Using convenience sampling,from August 2016 to June 2017,167 eligible patients underwent cardiac surgery were recruited from a cardiovascular hospital in Beijing.General and disease-related intormation were collected.According to requirements of six-minute walk tcst (6MWT) from American Thoracic Society,patients' rehabilitation was evaluated using 6MWD.Results After discharge from intensive care unit(ICU),6MWD of patients increased along with hospital stays.On the day before discharge,mean 6MWD of patients was (213.86±75.87).The influencing factors of 6MWD included types of surgery (P=0.019),cardiopulmonary bypass (P=0.004),postoperative left ventdcular ejection fraction (LVEF)(P=0.015),and hospital stays after discharge from ICU (P=0.003).Conclusion During hospitalization,6MWD of patients underwent cardiac surgery increased along with hospital stays.On the day before discharge,6MWD of patients tended to be stable,and ready for further rehabilitation process.Patients could have different rehabilitation differences in types of surgery,using cardiopulmonary bypass,LVEF and hospital stays after discharge from ICU.
