Non-pharmacological interventions to support coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) patient recovery following discharge: protocol for a scoping review.

ABSTRACT:

Background

In Canada, approximately 15 000 people undergo coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) each year. However, 9.5% of these patients are urgently readmitted to hospital within 30 days of surgery. Postoperative interventions following discharge play an important role in reducing readmissions and improving CABG patient outcomes. Therefore, it is important to determine effective interventions available to enhance CABG patient recovery following postoperative discharge.

Objectives

Our scoping review aims to identify non-pharmacological interventions available to support recovery of patients who are discharged after CABG in the community setting.

Methods

The methodological framework described by Arksey and O'Malley will be applied to this review. Our search strategy
