Recovery from cardiac surgery is associated with severe chest pain at the site of sternotomy and limb pain at the site of conduit harvesting. Patients routinely report mild to moderate pain even though they were administered sedative drugs. The integration of massage therapy into the team approach in patient care constitutes a move forward that recognizes pain as the fifth vital sign after pulse, blood pressure, temperature, and respiratory rate. This study was performed on patients who had open heart surgery and had the inclusion criteria for entering the study in ICU in Bassel Center for disease and heart surgery in Lattakia. A sample of 30 male and female patients was randomly divided into two groups: control group, experimental massage group. The experimental group received hand and foot massage after surgery. Our findings demonstrate that the mean score of pain severity in both groups was not significantly different at the beginning of the study. This means that pain severity was similar in both groups at the beginning of the study before applying any intervention. Results showed that there was a significant difference between the mean score of pain severity of the intervention group and the control group, after applying hand and foot massage together. The study concludes that foot and hand massage is one of the available interventions in complementary medicine and treatment which provides an opportunity for nurses to care for their patients.

Demographics, diagnostic profiles, co-existing chronic diseases, respiratory parameters on admission, patient’s overall severity by Acute Physiology and Chronic Health Evaluation II score, patient outcome, duration of stay in ICU, duration of ventilator support, and complications were assessed. The extubation time and length of ICU stay were compared between the two groups. Control patients had a longer period of ventilator dependency than the intervention patients and this difference was statistically significant (P < 0.05). It was noted that the resulting length of stay in the ICU was significantly lower in the intervention group than in the control group (P < 0.05). Although the patients had similar diagnoses and physical features, the length of stay in the ICU was significantly lower in the intervention group. The results show that physiotherapy has a great impact on ventilatory dependency and length of stay in the ICU
