About this study

Official title: A Prospective, Randomized Trial Comparing ERAS and Conventional Protocol for Perioperative Care of Patients After Gynecological Surgery

Enhanced recovery programs are composed of preoperative, intraoperative and postoperative strategies combined to form a multi-modal pathway. ERAS requires a multidisciplinary team of anesthetists, surgeons and nurses for successful implementation and realization of its advantages.The aim of this study is to compare outcomes of conventional perioperative care with those of an enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) perioperative care plan in women undergoing surgery for gynecologic cancer or suspected gynecologic disease.

Read the detailed description

The study design is a two-arm, randomized, controlled trial. The control arm will consist of standard conventional perioperative care. The intervention arm will consist of a protocol-driven ERAS program. The investigators believe that this information will be very useful because although there is a national interest in creating ERAS protocols for gynecology, there currently is very little published on the subject. Investigators hypothesize that those patients randomized to the ERAS protocol will have shorter lengths of hospital stay and complications, without increasing readmission rates. The investigators would like to publish the investigators' results and protocol as a resource for other institutions to adopt.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • ERAS protocolProcedure or surgery

    preoperative management Optimization of relevant medical uncontrolled situations, avoid fasting, avoid bowel preparation, avoid premedications, nutritional assessment, stop smoking, stop alcohol and appropriate counselling

    intraoperative management Multimodal prevention of prophylaxis against nausea and vomiting (PONV) (according to preoperative assessment of Apfel Score) with a combination of multiple antiemetic drugs.

    postoperative management Postoperative pain control is obtained with opioid sparing strategies, in order to avoid Post Operative Ileus (POI) and PONV.

    It is proposed to chew gum three times daily , fluid therapy, early mobilization, early feeding within 2 hours postoperative for at least 15 minutes and eventually to promote a faster bowel function.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Shorter Length Of Hospitalization (LOH)

    Total amount of days spent in hospital

    Measured: Up to 4 weeks after surgery

Secondary outcomes (12)
  1. Assessment of postoperative pain

    Measurement of pain score post-operation will be obtained using clinical data gathered by the care team providing routine clinical care, and asking routine pain score questions. The scale used is the standard 1-10 pain scale, with 1 being no pain or very mild discomfort, and 10 being very severe pain.

    Measured: At moment 24 hours after surgery

  2. Presence/Absence of nausea

    Treatment for postoperative nausea

    Measured: At moment 0, 3, 6, 12 and 24 hours after surgery

  3. Presence/Absence of vomiting

    Treatment for postoperative vomiting

    Measured: At moment 0, 3, 6, 12 and 24 hours after surgery

  4. Time to flatus

    Hours elapsed to event

    Measured: Up to 4 weeks after surgery

  5. Time to bowel movement

    Hours elapsed to event

    Measured: Up to 4 weeks after surgery

  6. Foley catheter removal

    Time to Foley catheter removal postoperative

    Measured: From 1 to 14days post surgery

  7. Time to drink

    Hours elapsed to event

    Measured: Up to 4 weeks after surgery

  8. Time to eating

    Hours elapsed to event

    Measured: Up to 4 weeks after surgery

  9. Time to walking

    Hours elapsed to event

    Measured: Up to 4 weeks after surgery

  10. Postoperative complications

    Rate measurement

    Measured: Up to 2 weeks after surgery

  11. Time to adjuvant treatment

    Time participant receives adjuvant treatment, if needed (chemotherapy or radiation)

    Measured: 60 days

  12. Readmission rates

    Readmissions to the hospital

    Measured: Up to 21 days post surgery

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing ERAS protocol in people with Gynecologic Disease and Gynecologic Cancer, run by Shandong University at 1 site in China.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 4 inclusion and 8 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Shorter Length Of Hospitalization (LOH) (time frame: Up to 4 weeks after surgery). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
