ABSTRACT

Background: Anxiety is a primary concern affecting the prognosis of CABG patients. Relieving anxiety is thus a component of management in patients with CABG. We use two feasible and cost-effective treatment techniques to know the improvement in symptoms of anxiety. Objectives: To evaluate the efficacy of chair aerobics and pranayama on anxiety in patients who underwent CABG. We hypothesized that there would be an improvement in anxiety in CABG patients after receiving the interventions. Materials and Methods: In a total of 21 screened, 16 met eligibility requirements. These were randomized into two, group A and group B. Group A is treated with progressive chair aerobics, and group B with Nadi-sodhana pranayama. Both groups were given standardised cardiac rehabilitation techniques. The duration was fifteen minutes of activity along with phase 1 cardiac rehabilitation. The treatment session was given once a day in the morning. The intervention starts from the post-operative day 3 to post-operative day 7. The anxiety is measured by the tool “hospital anxiety and depression scale”. Heart rate is estimated to know the somatic and physiologic components of anxiety. Took all the outcome measures before the surgery and on post-operative day 7 by a blinded outcome assessor. Results: The results showed that the improvement in the p-value of HADS anxiety, depression, and heart rate of both groups is less than 0.05.
