    Introduction: Perioperative care is nursing care provided
    by perioperative nurses to surgical patients during the
    perioperative period. Its role is important as patients
    especially those who had undergone coronary artery
    bypass graft (CABG) surgery encounter high levels of
    psychological and physical stress.

    Objective: To determine the needs of CABG patients
    throughout the perioperative period and how well those
    needs were met.

    Methods: This is a cross sectional descriptive survey.
    A total of 88 patients who had undergone coronary
    artery bypass graft were recruited through census
    sampling. The instrument which was adapted and used
    with permission for this study was “Survey of Patient
    Needs and Experiences during the Perioperative Period’
    questionnaire (Davis et al., 2014).

    Results: The patients perceived the perioperative
    needs in the post-anaesthesia care unit area to be the
    most important (M = 2.89, SD = 0.06). Perioperative
    needs which were rated the highest for each of the
    four time periods were “Having information about the
    surgical procedure itself”, “Having your family member
    or significant other with you in the pre-surgical area
    complications”, “Being treated with respect and with
    dignity by hospital personnel” and “Having your family
    member or significant other visit you in the recovery
    room”. Overall, patients perceived their needs during
    perioperative period to be partly met (M = 2.73, SD =
    0.07) with post-anaesthesia care unit area being rated
    the highest (M = 2.81, SD = 0.06).

    Conclusion: The results of this study highlighted the
    perceived needs of patients undergoing coronary artery
    bypass graft surgery throughout their perioperative
    period. In order to improve the quality of perioperative
    care for patients, nurses need to take into consideration
    the important needs identified by the patients and
    address the items which were not meeting the needs of
    the patients.
