TI  - Long-term pulmonary functional status following coronary artery bypass grafting 
      surgery.
PG  - 163-6
AB  - BACKGROUND: The present study aimed to describe the long-term alterations of 
      pulmonary function and also to describe its association with post-operative pain 
      after coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) surgery. METHODS: In this 
      prospective study, thirty non-smoker male patients undergoing isolated on-pump 
      CABG were consecutively included in this study. Pulmonary function measurements 
      were performed, in a sitting position, preoperatively, a week postoperatively, 
      and 6 months after the surgery using a Medical Graphics PF/Dx pulmonary function 
      system. Pain was determined by using visual analog scale (VAS) pain scores with a 
      standardized questionnaire's. RESULTS: Regarding functional class, all patients 
      had New York Heart Association (NYHA) Class II to III. A week after operation, a 
      severe restrictive pulmonary impairment was revealed with a mean decrease in VC 
      to 60.9 +/- 9.2% and in forced expiratory volume in one second (FEV1) to 64.6 +/- 
      12.2% of pre-operative values (P < 0.001). Regarding sternotomy related pain, the 
      mean pain VAS score was preoperatively 3.3 +/- 1.5 that reached to 6.2 +/- 2.5 and 
      4.8 +/- 2.2 1 week and 6 months after the operation (P < 0.001). The trend of the 
      changes in pain score within 6 months of operation was significantly similar to 
      the trend of the changes in some pulmonary function indices such as FEV% and 
      residual volume (RV). CONCLUSION: A significant reduction is expected in most 
      pulmonary functional parameters following CABG despite normal pulmonary function 
      state preoperatively. Severe pain originated from sternotomy may be an important 
      factor related to pulmonary dysfunction following CABG.
