ABSTRACT

Background: Coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery requires effective prophylaxis strategies and preoperative medication management to prevent postoperative complications and improve patient recovery. This study aimed to evaluate prophylaxis strategies and medication utilization patterns in patients undergoing CABG surgery. Materials and Methods: A prospective observational study was conducted for six months at CARE Hospital among 100 CABG patients. Data regarding demographics, diagnosis, comorbidities, and preoperative and postoperative medication utilization patterns were collected and analyzed using descriptive statistics. Results: Most patients belonged to the 50–60 years age group (34%), and 82% were males. Chest pain and shortness of breath were observed in 80% of patients. CAD was the most common diagnosis (30%). Preoperatively, Inj. Supacef and Inj. Heparin were prescribed in 100% of patients, while Atorva, Dolo, Zincovit, Met XL, Dytor Plus, and Cremaffin Plus were used in 90% of patients. Postoperatively, Clopitab, Atorva, Inj. PAN, and Cremaffin Plus were prescribed in 90% of patients. Antiplatelets, statins, anticoagulants, antibiotics, and supportive medications played a major role in complication prevention and recovery enhancement. Conclusion: Appropriate prophylaxis strategies and evidence-based pharmacotherapy significantly contributed to preventing postoperative complications and improving recovery among CABG patients.
