Non-pharmacological interventions to support coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) patient recovery following discharge: protocol for a scoping review.

This scoping review will retrieve and analyse previously published studies in which informed consent was obtained by primary investigators. Therefore, no ethical review or approval will be required. This scoping review aims to enumerate available non-pharmacological interventions to support recovery of patients who are discharged after CABG and identify gaps in postoperative recovery after discharge to support the development of innovative and targeted interventions. On completion of this review, we will ensure broad dissemination of our findings through peer-reviewed, open-access journals, conference presentations and hold meetings to engage stakeholders, including clinicians, policy makers and others.
