Abstract

Introduction: Cardiac surgery can cause pain and disability in the elderly. Objective: To evaluate function and pain in the elderly in pre and postsurgical (PO). Methods: A cross-sectional study sample of 46 elderly patients undergoing cardiac surgery. We used the Functional Independence Measure (FIM), Visual Analog Scale, Numerical Pain and Body Diagram, evaluated in three moments. The Wilcoxon test for comparison and Spearman and to evaluate associations between studied variables. Results: The mean age was 69.3 ± 1 years, and the most part of the sample were male. Independence was observed in 97.8% of the sample in the preoperative period, 65.2% presented dependence up to 50% in the second postoperative day, and 60.9% to 75% dependence on the fifth postoperative day. The association between total length of hospital stay, postoperative and MIF was significant in the second and fifth postoperative day. Conclusions: Elderly patients undergoing cardiac surgery showed a increase in disability and decreased pain with each passing day.
