About this study

It was a descriptive case series conducted it Department of Surgery, Services Hospital, Lahore. Total of 140 patients who underwent small bowel resection anastomosis were subjected to ERAS protocols.The objective of this study was to determine the outcome of applying enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) protocols in patients undergoing small bowel surgery.

Read the detailed description

It was a descriptive case series study conducted at Surgical Unit II, Services Hospital, Lahore. Sample size of 140 cases was calculated with 95% confidence level, 4.5% margin of error while taking expected percentage of anastomotic leakage in 8% cases passed through Enhanced Recovery after Surgery protocole.9 Patients were selected by Non-probability Purposive Sampling. Patients of both sex groups with ages between 20-45 years. Having elective surgery of small bowel resection and anastomosis admitted through OPD were included in the study. Patient with co-morbid conditions falling in ASA Class III or greater and patients with metastatic tumours of small bowel were excluded from the study. 140 patients presenting in the surgical outdoor of Services Hospital, Lahore who fulfilled the inclusion criteria were included in the study. A detailed history was taken including demographic data (age, gender and address). Patients were requested to sign an informed consent after explaining them the details of the study. ERAS protocols were implemented. Patients were followed after 4 weeks post-operatively in outdoor and outcome were measured in terms of length of hospital stay, post-operative wound infection, anastomotic leakage and death. All the surgeries and the follow ups were performed by the consultant in charge of the unit to eliminate bias. Confounding variables were controlled by exclusion. All the data was recorded into the attached proforma.(annexed). All the collected data was entered into SPSS version 10. Numerical variables like age and length of hospital stay have been presented by mean ±SD. Categorical variables i-e gender, post-operative wound infection, anastomotic leakage and mortality have been presented by frequency and percentage. Data has been stratified for anastomotic leakage to deal with effect modifier. Chi square test has been applied post stratification with P-value ≤0.05 taken as significant.

What participants receive

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

  • Enhanced recovery after surgeryOther

    Enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) protocols are multimodal perioperative care pathways designed to achieve early recovery after surgical procedures by maintaining preoperative organ function and reducing the profound stress response after surgery. It benefits patient by reducing complications and enhancing recovery and saves resources for the health care system. In this concept, surgeons work collaboratively with anesthesiologist, nurses, nutritionists and physical therapists to develop and manage the perioperative care.

What is being measured

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

  1. Length of hospital stay

    Number of days patients stays in hospital

    Measured: 2 weeks

  2. Postoperative wound infection

    Number of patients developing erythema and purulent discharge from wound site

    Measured: 2 weeks

  3. Anastomotic leakage

    Number of patients developing leak from anastomotic site

    Measured: 4 weeks
