The Impact of Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting on Respiratory Function: A Systematic Review
: All included studies reported significant postoperative reductions in respiratory function following CABG, including forced vital capacity, forced expiratory volume in one second, maximal inspiratory pressure, and maximal expiratory pressure. Although these findings consistently indicate a decline in pulmonary function, the limited number of available studies limits the strength of the conclusions. This systematic review suggests that monitoring respiratory impairments after CABG may be clinically relevant to improve health-related quality of life.
