Objective: In this study, we aimed to compare the effects between on-pump and off-pump coronary artery bypass surgery on the effect of quality of life. Methods: Fifty patients who underwent isolated coronary artery bypass (CABG) between 01.08.2012 - 31.01.2013 were divided into two equal groups (group 1: off-pump CABG; group 2: on-pump CABG). The quality of life of all patients was evaluated using the SF-36 questionnaire in the postoperative first week and first month (8 basic parameters in SF-36 questionnaire form: Physical function, pain, physical role, mental health, emotional role, social function, fitness / fatigue, general health) Results: One week after CABG surgery, physical function, physical role, social function and emotional role were significantly better in group 1 than group 2 (p 0.05). Physical function was significantly better in female gender one week after CABG (p 0.05). Conclusion: We think that CABG performed off-pump in order to avoid from negative effects of cardiopulmonary bypass has no significant effect on the quality of life of the patients in the postoperative period. Nevertheless, in order to get a clearer idea on this issue, we think that large series studies should be conducted with a higher number of patients. |
