Project description:The study assesses the impact on quality of care of implementing the ERAS (Enhanced Recovery After Surgery) protocol for colorectal cancer surgery in the network of public hospitals in the Regione Piemonte (North-West Italy). Every hospital is a cluster entering the study treating patients according to its current clinical practice. On the basis of a randomized order, each hospital switches from current clinical practice to the adoption of the ERAS protocol.

Project description:Strong implementation strategies are critical to the success of Enhanced Recovery after Surgery (ERAS®) guidelines, though little documentation exists on effective strategies, especially in complex clinical situations and unfamiliar contexts. This study outlines the process taken to adopt a novel neonatal ERAS® guideline. The implementation strategy was approached in a multi-pronged, concurrent but asynchronous fashion. Between September 2019 and January 2020, healthcare providers from various disciplines and different specialties as well as parents participated in the strategy. Multidisciplinary teams were created to consider existing literature and local contexts including potential facilitators and/or barriers. Task forces worked collaboratively to develop new care pathways. An audit system was developed to record outcomes and elicit feedback for revision. 32 healthcare providers representing 9 disciplines and 5 specialties as well as 8 parents participated. Care pathways and resources were created. Elements recommended for a successful implementation strategy included identification of champions, multidisciplinary stakeholder involvement, consideration of local contexts and insights, patient/family engagement, education, and creation of an audit system. A multidisciplinary and structured process following principles of implementation science was used to develop an effective implementation strategy for initiating ERAS® guidelines.

Project description:BackgroundEnhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) is a perioperative care protocol, which was introduced several years ago and has gained increasing importance in thoracic surgery. The aim of this study was to provide guidance through clinical implementation and to identify factors for better compliance.MethodsThis prospective cohort study collected data between July 2021 and June 2022 at the Department of Thoracic Surgery (University Hospital Regensburg, Germany). A modified enhanced recovery after thoracic surgery (ERATS) protocol with recommendations covering the pre-, intra- and postoperative phases was established and followed. The primary objective was to evaluate the implementation of the ERATS protocol. Secondary, specific and clinically relevant recommendations were analyzed regarding their compliance.ResultsThe study included 139 patients undergoing elective lung resections. Many ERATS recommendations were already part of standard perioperative care, including perioperative antibiotics, venous thromboembolism prophylaxis and intraoperative warming. Other measures such as anemia management, carbohydrate loading or chest drain management were updated or newly established and standardized according to our ERATS protocol. The recommendations emphasizing early postoperative mobilization were found to be crucial. We identified three groups with significantly different compliance rates: (I) patient-dependent measures which require active participation (49.3%); (II) treatment measures requiring interdisciplinary consensus (85.8%); and (III) surgical measures (88%).ConclusionsThe implementation and continuous evaluation of our perioperative ERATS protocol led to a new categorization of targeted measures into three groups with actors of different competencies. The new grouping enables gradual implementation and a step-by-step targeted approach in order to achieve a higher compliance of ERATS in the future as well as long-term sustainability.

Project description:This is a blinded randomized controlled trial in patients undergoing laparoscopic colon surgery. The aim of this study is to assess whether spinal analgesia with a mixture of bupivacaine and morphine provides better pain relief than systemic morphine in a group of patients undergoing colonic resection and using the Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) program.
Twenty patients will receive spinal analgesia and twenty patients will receive only Patient Control Analgesia (PCA).

Project description:BACKGROUND: Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) programs are associated with reduced hospital morbidity and mortality. The aim of the present study was to evaluate whether the introduction of ERAS care improved the adverse events in colorectal surgery. In a cohort study, mortality, morbidity, and length of stay were compared between ERAS patients and carefully matched historical controls. METHODS: Patients were matched for their type of disease, the type of surgery, P-Possum (Portsmouth-Possum), CR-Possum (Colorectal-Possum) Physiological and Operative Score for Enumeration of Mortality and Morbidity (POSSUM), gender, and American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) grade. The primary outcome measures of this study were mortality and morbidity. Secondary outcome measures were fluid intake, length of hospital stay, the number of relaparotomies, and the number of readmissions within 30 days. Data on the ERAS patients were collected prospectively. RESULTS: Sixty-one patients treated according to the ERAS program were compared with 122 patients who received conventional postoperative care. The two groups were comparable with respect to age, ASA grade, P-Possum (Portsmouth-Possum), CR-Possum (Colorectal-Possum) score, type of surgery, stoma formation, type of disease, and gender. Morbidity was lower in the ERAS group compared to the control group (14.8% versus 33.6% respectively; P = <0.01). Patients in the ERAS group received significantly less fluid and spent fewer days in the hospital (median 6 days, range 3-50 vs. median 9 days, range 3-138; P = 0.032). There was no difference between the ERAS and the control group for mortality (0% vs. 1.6%; P = 0.55) and readmission rate (3.3% vs. 1.6%; P = 0.60). CONCLUSION: Enhanced Recovery After Surgery program reduces morbidity and the length of hospital stay for patients undergoing elective colonic or rectal surgery.

Project description:This review evaluates the current and future role of cardiopulmonary exercise testing (CPET) in the context of Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) programs.There is substantial literature confirming the relationship between physical fitness and perioperative outcome in general. The few small studies in patients undergoing surgery within an ERAS program describe less fit individuals having a greater incidence of morbidity and mortality. There is evidence of increasing adoption of perioperative CPET, particularly in the UK. Although CPET-derived variables have been used to guide clinical decisions about choice of surgical procedure and level of perioperative care as well as to screen for uncommon comorbidities, the ability of CPET-derived variables to guide therapy and thereby improve outcome remains uncertain. Recent studies have reported a reduction in CPET-defined physical fitness following neoadjuvant therapies (chemo- and radio-therapy) prior to surgery. Preliminary data suggest that this effect may be associated with an adverse effect on clinical outcomes in less fit patients. Early reports suggest that CPET-derived variables can be used to guide the prescription of exercise training interventions and thereby improve physical fitness in patients prior to surgery (i.e., prehabilitation). The impact of such interventions on clinical outcomes remains uncertain.Perioperative CPET is finding an increasing spectrum of roles, including risk evaluation, collaborative decision-making, personalized care, monitoring interventions, and guiding prescription of prehabilitation. These indications are potentially of importance to patients having surgery within an ERAS program, but there are currently few publications specific to CPET in the context of ERAS programs.
