ABSTRACT

Coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) is a standard type of surgery to treat coronary heart disease. Although restoring the circulation of blood is the main goal of CABG, an effective rehabilitation program is also crucial to the procedure's success. In this instance, elective CABG was performed on a 59-year-old male patient with severe coronary artery disease. The sufferer's postoperative care included a sophisticated intervention that included regular physical activity, dietary modifications, and psychological counselling. The rehabilitative approach included health education, sequential mobilization, a monitored exercise program, dietary counselling, guidance to quitting smoking, and stress management techniques. A framework of evaluation is necessary for the patient's progress to be based on objective measures such as functional status, quality of life, etc. The significance of a well-planned and comprehensive rehabilitation program for CABG patients' postoperative treatment is highlighted by this case study. It highlights the need of using a multidisciplinary team to provide holistic treatment that is taken into account.
