Additional cardiopulmonary and respiratory function tests were also performed (Table 2).
Following two cardiopulmonary-related deaths, the study protocol was amended by reducing the total radiation dose administered to patients (see Methods section) and including additional cardiopulmonary and respiratory function tests (Table 2), which led to a more careful selection of patients being carried out.
To investigate the differences between pre- and post-cardiopulmonary bypass platelet function tests and to examine whether post-bypass tests could predict postoperative bleeding.
Balance and proprioception tests, Cardiopulmonary function, three-dimensional gait analysis will be assessed by experienced operators at the Evaluation Department of Rehabilitation Hospital Affiliated to FJTCM.
Cardiac and pulmonary function test results were analyzed to assess cardiopulmonary function, and Egen Klassifikation scores were analyzed to assess functional ability.
Cardiopulmonary function was assessed by cardiopulmonary exercise testing, which was performed on a cycle ergometer (Corival, Lode, The Netherlands).
Collected data include World Health Organization functional class, 6-minute walk distance, cardiopulmonary exercise testing, pulmonary function test results, hemodynamic measurements, functional status, hospitalizations, and death.
Cardiopulmonary function will be assessed by the step test, vital capacity, blood pressure, and heart rate.
