Clinical Profile and Treatment Outcome of Post CABG Patients

Abstract Background: Coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) remains a key surgical intervention for patients with severe coronary artery disease. Understanding the clinical profile and treatment outcomes of post-CABG patients is essential to enhance recovery and reduce complications. Methods: A quantitative, descriptive-analytical, cross-sectional study was conducted in the cardiothoracic surgery unit of a tertiary care hospital to assess the clinical characteristics and post-operative outcomes of patients who underwent CABG and to identify factors influencing recovery. A purposive sample of 200 post-CABG patients was selected based on specific inclusion and exclusion criteria. Data was collected using patient records, covering socio-demographic details, clinical variables, and treatment outcomes. The study was conducted for 6 months from January 2024 to June 2024. Statistical analysis was performed using descriptive and inferential statistics. Results: The study evaluated age, comorbidities, diagnosis type, BMI, and blood pressure as key clinical variables. Associations between these variables and treatment outcomes were analyzed, with significant correlations identified in multiple domains. Conclusion: The findings highlight the importance of detailed clinical profiling in predicting post-CABG recovery. Results can guide personalized care planning and improve post-operative management strategies in similar healthcare settings.
