One-year results from the first US-based enhanced recovery after cardiac surgery (ERAS Cardiac) program

Objective

Our enhanced recovery after cardiac surgery (ERAS Cardiac) program is an evidence-based interdisciplinary process, which has not previously been systematically applied to cardiac surgery in the United States.

Donor-site local anaesthetic infusion catheter as an opioid-sparing agent in free flap reconstruction of the head and neck: a valuable adjunct to an enhanced recovery protocol

This paper presents the results of a retrospective case-controlled cohort study to investigate the effectiveness of a donor-site local anaesthetic infusion protocol to reduce opioid requirements, length of intensive therapy unit (ITU) stay, and incidence of postoperative delirium. Adult free flap head and neck patients were identified from a prospective database (n = 86). There was a significant reduction in mean opioid requirements (p < 0.001). Postoperative delirium was observed in 12 of 35 patients before introduction of the protocol, and in 10 of 51 patients after its introduction (p = 0.139). Donor-site local anaesthetic infusion reduces opioid requirements for patients undergoing head and neck free flap reconstruction, and is a valuable adjunct to an enhanced recovery protocol.     

早期拔除胸腔引流管在胸腔镜肺部手术后的应用

目的探讨胸腔镜肺部手术后早期拔除胸腔引流管的可行性和安全性,探索胸腔引流管的拔除指征。 方法选择2019年11月至2020年4月在南京大学医学院附属鼓楼医院行胸腔镜肺部手术,并于术后早期(48 h内)拔除胸腔引流管患者117例作为观察组;另外选择2018年11月至2019年4月在南京大学医学院附属鼓楼医院行胸腔镜肺部手术,但术后非早期拔除胸腔引流管患者114例作为对照组。两组在年龄(P＝0.476)、性别(P＝0.216)、术式(P＝0.715)、是否行纵隔淋巴结清扫或采样(P＝0.200)、目标肺叶(P＝0.925)、病变性质(P＝0.957)方面均差异无统计学意义。回顾性分析两组患者术后临床结果、拔除引流管后并发症及再次行胸腔引流情况。 结果观察组和对照组拔管前24 h引流量[(245.7±98.1)ml比(120.8±46.8)ml,P<0.001]、术后引流时间[(43.9±2.6)h比(84.5±10.5)h,P<0.001]、术后住院时间[(2.2±0.4)d比(4.2±1.1)d,P<0.001]、住院费用[(5.3±0.4)万元比(5.6±0.3)万元,P<0.001]、拔管后疼痛视觉模拟评分(visionl analogue scale, VAS) [(4.4±1.2)分比(3.3±1.2)分,P<0.001]、拔管后总体并发症发生率(20.5%比10.5%,P＝0.036)差异有统计学意义,观察组拔管前后VAS [(5.9±0.8)分比(4.4±1.2)分,P<0.001]和对照组拔管前后VAS [(6.0±0.9)分比(3.3±1.2)分,P<0.001]差异有统计学意义。观察组和对照组拔管前VAS [(5.9±0.8)分比(6.0±0.9)分,P＝0.464]、拔管后气胸(1.7%比0.9%,P>0.999)、胸腔积液(12.8%比6.1%,P＝0.084)、皮下气肿(2.6%比1.8%,P>0.999)、发热(3.4%比1.8%,P＝0.703)、再次行胸腔引流(2.6%比1.8%,P>0.999)发生率差异无统计学意义。 结论虽然术后早期拔除引流管可能会增加拔除引流管后胸腔积液的发生率,但早期拔除引流管可以明显减轻患者术后疼痛,并且不会增加气胸、皮下气肿、发热的发生率,也不会增加再次行胸腔引流的风险。因此,胸腔镜肺部手术后早期拔除胸腔引流管是安全、可行的,有利于减轻患者经济负担,缩短住院时间,促进患者加速康复。     

加速康复外科配合经脐单孔腹腔镜对卵巢囊肿剥除术的应用效果评价

目的探讨加速康复外科(ERAS)配合经脐单孔腹腔镜(LESS)对卵巢囊肿剥除手术的应用效果评价。方法选择2015年6月-2017年6月因卵巢良性囊肿在滨州医学院烟台附属医院妇科行LESS和传统方式腹腔镜进行卵巢囊肿剥除手术的患者各40例,纳入研究的患者均采用ERAS理念进行围手术期护理。将LESS患者设为实验组,传统方式腹腔镜手术患者设为对照组,比较两组患者手术时间、术中出血量、术后下床时间、术后排气时间、术后排大便时间,术后发热和感染等并发症发生率,住院时间和住院费用等指标。计量资料采用t检验,计数资料采用χ~2检验,以P0.05为差异有统计学意义。结果实验组在术后下床时间、术后排气时间、术后排大便时间、住院时间均较对照组缩短,住院费用较对照组降低,两组比较差异均有统计学意义(P0.05);手术时间、术中出血量、术后并发症发生率与对照组比较无明显差异,两组比较差异无统计学意义(P0.05)。结论 ERAS配合LESS利于康复、缩短住院时间、减少住院费用,值得临床推广和应用。     

Survey of provider perceptions of enhanced recovery after surgery and perioperative surgical home protocols at a tertiary care hospital

Enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) and perioperative surgical home (PSH) initiatives are widely utilized to improve quality of patient care. Despite their established benefits, implementation still has significant barriers. We developed a survey for perioperative clinicians to gather information on perception and knowledge of ERAS/PSH programs to guide future expansion of these programs at our institution. The survey included questions about familiarity with ERAS/PSH and perceived value, perceived barriers to protocol implementation, preferred learning methods and prioritization of various ERAS/PSH protocol elements into care delivery and provider education. Faculty surgeons and anesthesiologists, in addition to advanced practice nurses and postgraduate physician trainees in the Departments of Surgery and Anesthesiology were asked to complete the survey. Overall survey participation was 25% (223/888). About half of survey respondents had provided care to a patient on an ERAS/PSH protocol, and a majority felt at least somewhat knowledgeable about ERAS/PSH protocols. Perception of the value of ERAS/PSH was positive. Participants were enthusiastic about on-going learning, with multimodal pain management being the topic of most interest and learning by direct participation in care of protocol patients being the favored educational approach. A significant majority of participants felt that upcoming health providers should receive formal ERAS/PSH education as part of their training. Based on our survey results, we plan to explore teaching methods that successfully engage learners of all levels of clinical expertise and also overcome the major barriers to gaining knowledge about ERAS/PSH identified by study participants, most notably lack of time for busy clinicians.     

应用加速康复外科理念的机器人辅助腹腔镜前列腺癌根治术

目的探讨应用加速康复外科(ERAS)理念的机器人辅助腹腔镜前列腺癌根治术(RARP)的安全性和优越性。方法回顾性分析2014年9月-2018年3月该院施行的490例RARP患者的临床资料。ERAS组230例采用ERAS处理方案,对照组260例围术期采用传统处理方案。使用SPSS 20.0进行数据分析。结果两组术中失血量、输血率、再手术率、肠粘连、肠梗阻、肺炎、肺栓塞(PTE)、下肢深静脉血栓(DVT)和30 d再入院率等比较,差异均无统计学意义(P0.05)。ERAS组术后疼痛数字评分(NRS)低于对照组(P 0.05);首次肛门排气时间(P 0.05)、首次排便时间(P 0.05)早于对照组;住院天数(P 0.05)短于对照组。结论应用ERAS理念行RARP安全有效,降低了术后疼痛反应,肠道功能恢复更快,可促进患者早日康复,缩短了住院时间。     

加速康复外科在结直肠癌术后肝转移灶切除患者中的应用

目的 探讨加速康复外科(ERAS)在结直肠癌术后肝转移灶行手术治疗围手术期的可行性及有效性。方法 选取2017年12月至2018年5月在我院我科实施的结直肠癌术后肝转移灶切除手术患者52例,其中23例实 ERAS管理(实验组),29例进行传统管理(对照组)。比较两组患者术后恢复及患者满意度情况。结果 相比较于对照组,ERAS组患者的术后通气时间、术后进食时间、首次下床活动时间、尿管留置时间、住院时间明显改善。两组的术后疼痛评分均逐渐下降,相比较对照组,加速康复组的疼痛评分较优,其患者满意度显著提高。此外,对于患者术后并发症,两组相比无统计学差异。结论 对于结直肠癌术后肝转移的患者行手术治疗,ERAS可显著提高患者满意度,促进患者术后康复。
