What this Trial Is About

Cardiovascular diseases remain the leading cause of death worldwide, with coronary artery disease being a major contributor, especially in Brazil. Coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) is a common treatment for this condition, primarily funded by Brazil's Unified Health System. While cardiac surgery outcomes have improved due to quality programs, these improvements are not yet consistent nationwide. This research investigates the impact of a technology platform based on the Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) concept to improve recovery after CABG and support healthcare sustainability in São Paulo. The trial compares two approaches for patients undergoing CABG: standard care as practiced by each participating institution and a modified protocol based on ERAS supported by a digital platform. The digital platform assists patients from before surgery through 30 days after discharge, including pre-operative evaluations, hospital admission scheduling, surgical protocols, and intensive care processes. The platform also enhances communication among healthcare teams and between patients and providers, using educational modules, messaging, surveys, and a dashboard to monitor protocol adherence and patient outcomes. Participants will be monitored for up to 30 days after surgery to assess hospital length of stay, with additional follow-up up to six months for morbidity, mortality, and patient-reported outcomes and experiences. The study involves evaluations of protocol step completion during the first week post-surgery and gathers data on patient recovery and satisfaction. This comprehensive monitoring aims to understand how the ERAS-based digital platform influences recovery and healthcare value after CABG.
