We strongly advise you to consult with a certified physiotherapist or doctor before attempting any home treatments or exercises described here.
The Importance of Supervised Cardiac Rehabilitation
After a Coronary Artery Bypass Graft (CABG) or heart attack (Myocardial Infarction), patients and family members are often terrified of physical exertion. However, prolonged bed rest leads to lung collapse (atelectasis), chest phlegm buildup, and severe muscular deconditioning.
Phase II Cardiac Rehabilitation brings hospital-grade vitals monitoring and guided aerobic conditioning directly into the patient's home. Our MPT Cardiothoracic specialists monitor oxygen saturation (SpO2), blood pressure, and heart rate during every exercise phase.
Key Components of Cardiac Home Rehabilitation
1. Sternal Precautions & Bed Transfers
After open-heart surgery, the sternum takes 8-12 weeks to heal. We teach patients safe transfer techniques to get out of bed without putting pressure on the chest bone.
2. Active Breathing & Incentive Spirometry
- Incentive Spirometer Exercises: Expanding collapsed alveoli to restore oxygen exchange.
- Diaphragmatic Breathing: Reducing the work of breathing and calming postsurgical anxiety.
- Huffing Techniques: Clearing bronchial secretions without painful coughing against the sternal incision.
3. Monitored Functional Mobility & Walking
Gradual, telemetry-monitored walking protocols designed to raise daily step counts safely without triggering angina or shortness of breath.
