28
Q

What are some respiratory complications associated with CABG?

A

Infection, Consolidation/Collapse, Pneumothorax, Haemothorax.

29
Q

What are some cardiovascular complications associated with CABG?

A

Deep Vein Thrombosis, Cardiac Arrest, Arrhythmias, Tamponade, Emboli.

30
Q

What are some wound complications associated with CABG?

A

Infection, Unhealed, Scar Tissue (multiple types).

31
Q

What are some joint stiffness complications associated with CABG?

A

Stiff: shoulder and girdle, thoracic spine, CV joints.

32
Q

What are some muscle weakness complications associated with CABG?

A

Incision Related, Leg and Abdominal (disuse / bed rest)

33
Q

What are some postural deformity complications associated with CABG?

A

Protraction, Scolosis.

34
Q

What is a LVAD (left ventricular assist device)?

A

A surgically implanted mechanical pump that is attached to the heart.

35
Q

How is a LVAD different from an artificial heart?

A

LVAD works with the heart to help it pump more blood with less work, whereas an artificial heart replaces the failing heart completely.
