Protocol summary

Study aim
Design and evaluation of a combined care package after Coronary Artery Bypass Graft (CABG) Design and evaluation of the performance of a patient assistant model for identifying surgical site infection and performing incentive spirometry based on deep learning after CABG Determine and compare the effectiveness of a combined care package on pulmonary and motor function of patients after CABG in the experimental and control groups Determine and compare the effectiveness of a combined care package on the incidence of surgical site infection in the experimental and control groups
Design
Randomized clinical trial, with control group, with parallel groups, without blinding, randomization in a 1:1 ratio with a computer-generated random number sequence and using a block of four
Settings and conduct
Patients undergoing CABG at Jamaran Hospital will be randomly assigned to the intervention group, who will receive in-person and video training and use a deep learning-based patient assistant model, while the control group will receive only standard postoperative care.
Participants/Inclusion and exclusion criteria
Inclusion criteria: Access and ability to use a deep learning-based model; Willingness and consent to participate in the study; Elective surgery patients; Patients with EF≥ 30% Exclusion criteria: Postoperative complications; infection before discharge; Patients requiring re-surgery or other medical intervention; Kidney failure requiring alternative treatment; Cognitive disorders; Hearing and vision disorders; Severe respiratory disorders; Long-term hospitalization after surgery
Intervention groups
The intervention group uses a deep learning-based patient assistant model and receives in-person and video training, and the control group receives standard post-coronary artery bypass grafting care protocols.
Main outcome variables
6-minute walk test results and incidence of surgical site infection

Randomized
Randomization description
Patients are assigned in a 1:1 ratio to one of the experimental (B) and control (A) groups using a computer-generated random number sequence using a block of four. Given the block size of four, there will be a total of six blocks as AABB, ABAB, ABBA, BBAA, BABA, BAAB. After the blocks are numbered, each block is used for four patients. In this case, if block number one is randomly selected, the first patient will be in group A, the second patient in group A, the third patient in group B, and the fourth patient in group B. For the fifth patient, one of the blocks is randomly selected again, and the fifth to eighth patients will be assigned to group A or B, respectively. This method will continue until the desired sample size is reached.

Primary outcomes

1

Description
Effectiveness of the combined care package after coronary artery bypass graft surgery by measuring the outcomes of blood oxygen saturation, heart rate, distance traveled by the patient to assess pulmonary and motor function measured using the 6-minute walk test and the outcome of the incidence of surgical site infection checked with the SSI checklist recommended by CDC
Timepoint
The 6MWT will be used to evaluate the effect of the combined care package on the patients' pulmonary and motor function. After 30 days, the researcher will be present at the doctor's visit at the clinic and will perform a 6-minute walk test for both intervention and control groups. In this test, patients must walk along a specified 30-meter corridor. Before starting the test, the instructions for the test are explained to the patients, and the heart rate and oxygen saturation percentage of the patients are measured by the researcher with a pulse oximeter. Patients can rest if necessary, but they will start walking again as soon as they are able. Then, after 6 minutes, the distance covered by the patient, heart rate, and oxygen saturation percentage will be recorded. Finally, the results of the 6MWT will be compared in the two groups. The evaluation of the effect of the combined care package on the incidence of infection will be performed using the SSI checklist recommended by the CDC. At the patient's first visit (approximately two weeks after surgery), the researcher will examine and judge the wound status through a checklist that includes items such as local pain or tenderness, local swelling in the wound area, redness or warmth in the wound area, purulent drainage, spontaneous separation of the wound edges, opening or aspiration as determined by the surgeon, and microbial growth in the culture sample if requested by the physician. The results of the wound examination in the two groups will be compared.
Method of measurement
Before and after the 6-minute walk test, the heart rate and oxygen saturation of the patients will be measured by the researcher with a pulse oximetry device. The distance traveled will be measured using a meter and corridor markings. The incidence of infection will be assessed using the SSI checklist recommended by the CDC.
