This research examines how sleep issues before heart surgery may affect how well patients recover afterward. Researchers will study blood markers and chemical changes to better understand this connection and potentially improve surgical outcomes.
This study looks at how your sleep affects recovery after planned heart surgery. Researchers want to see if better sleep leads to better outcomes, so they will track your sleep quality and health after the operation.
This study tests whether a combination of sleep therapy, brain games, and light exercise before heart surgery can help prevent confusion or disorientation (delirium) after the operation. Participants will be asked to use a tablet and fitness tracker daily for about an hour before their surgery.
