Functional outcome in the elderly after coronary artery surgery

S F Murphy et al. Medsurg Nurs. 1996 Apr.

Abstract

Patients 80 years of age and older who underwent coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) were surveyed to determine their postoperative status. Basic activities of daily living were performed by 93%, and 62% of those surveyed reported health satisfaction. CABG can be performed in the elderly population with good functional outcome and an improved quality of life.
