Eligibility

Age
40 Years to 80 Years

Inclusion criteria

Inclusion criteria: Volunteers with clinical diagnosis of coronary artery disease by coronary angiography and absence of acute or chronic lung disease, undergoing elective coronary artery bypass grafting surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass, median sternotomy incision type and interposition of saphenous vein graft, or internal mammary artery or radial.

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion criteria: Not perform the surgical procedure according to the technique already specified, reoperations and / or associated procedures like approach valvular or carotid endarterectomy, present malignant ventricular arrhythmias, complexes ventricular premature beats, supraventricular tachycardia or sinus greater than 120 beats per minute, atrioventricular block of 2nd or 3rd degree, signs of low cardiac output or ventricular failure, hypotension, heart failure and recent myocardial infarction (less than 6 months), present chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, diabetes mellitus with documented diabetic neuropathy and/or presence of disease in the kidneys and liver, users of heart pacemaker, general impairment, weakness, fever, and associated neurological sequelae and difficulty understanding and/or adherence to study procedures.

Design outcomes

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Higher limit of exercise tolerance (around 20% higher), lower values ??of dyspnea (around 50%, as assessed by the modified Borg scale CR-10) and better oxygen saturation (measured by pulse oximetry) at end of exercise (around 3%) for the CPAP group. Expected outcomes during exercise in the others days of postoperative period (3o PO, for example).

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Higher values of parasympathetic autonomic modulation (reflected by heart rate variability indices (rMSSD, pNN50, AF, among others), a noninvasive tool of cardiac autonomic nervous system evaluation); peripheral oxygen saturation (evaluted by pulse oximeter, around 3% higher); breathing pattern (measured by respiratory inductive plethysmography and evaluated by indices of pulmonary time and volumes and thoracoabdominal coordination, with better values around 20-30%),and exercise tolerance (around 20% higher) for the CPAP group. Expected outcomes during exercise/rest condition in the discharge day (around fifth postoperative day).
