Video Summary

The video is a presentation titled "Enhancing Recovery After Heart Transplant: A Patient Participation Approach to Co-Designing a New Prehabilitation Program." The presenters are Dr. Themis Yaslas and Dr. Javier Lopez, who acknowledge the patients, caregivers, and co-design team involved in the program. The video discusses the potential benefits of prehabilitation for heart transplant patients. It reviews data on mortality rates and wait times for patients on the transplant waitlist. The presenters define prehabilitation as activities done before a medical operation to improve physical strength and aid in recovery. They highlight the importance of cardiac surgery patients undergoing prehabilitation to withstand surgery stress and reduce complications. The presenters mention the lack of guidelines for patients receiving a heart transplant and present research demonstrating the benefits of prehabilitation for heart transplant patients. They outline the process of co-designing and describe the barriers faced in co-designing sessions for heart transplant waiting list patients. The video then presents patient input on essential program components, including education, exercise, psychosocial support, diet and nutrition, expectation management, and peer mentoring. The presenters conclude by summarizing the findings of their quality improvement project and state that the program components developed through the co-design process will be published in an upcoming manuscript.
