ERAS on Postoperative Recovery After Laparoscopic Distal Gastrectomy
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
This prospective, randomized, open-labeled study is designed to evaluate the impact of enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) protocol on postoperative quality of recovery in patients undergoing laparoscopic distal gastrectomy. We hypothesize that our ERAS protocol can significantly improve the postoperative quality of recovery in patients with laparoscopic distal gastrectomy.

Detailed Description
Adult patients undergoing elective laparoscopic distal gastrectomy are randomly allocated to receive the ERAS protocol (n=49) or conventional protocol (n=49). The conventional groups receive our current perioperative management. The ERAS groups receive our new ERAS protocol including preoperative carbohydrate loading, shortening of perioperative fasting time, and multimodal opioid-sparing analgesia. The primary outcome measure was the postoperative quality of recovery evaluated using the Korean version of Quality of recovery-15 at 24, 48, and 72 hours postoperatively. The secondary outcome measures were pain intensity at rest and during coughing evaluated using an 11-point numeric rating scale at 24, 48, and 72 hours postoperatively, gastrointestinal dysfunction evaluated using the I-FEED score at 24, 48, and 72 hours postoperatively, the occurrence of postoperative nausea and vomiting during the first postoperative 24 hours, postoperative 24 to 48 hour period, and postoperative 48 to 72 hour period, the occurrence of major postoperative complications according to the Clavien-Dindo classification during hospitalization, and length of hospital stay.

Arms and Interventions
Arm | Intervention/Treatment |
---|---|
Experimental: ERAS group Perioperative care for laparoscopic distal gastrectomy is managed according to ERAS protocol. |
Procedure: ERAS protocol
The ERAS protocol involves a pre-admission patient education using audiovisual videos, the reduction of perioperative fasting time with administration of preoperative carbohydrate loading and early resumption of oral feeding after surgery, multimodal postoperative nausea and vomiting prevention, early removal of the nasogastric tube and urinary catheter, and multimodal analgesia to minimize opioid consumption after surgery.

No Intervention: Conventional group Perioperative care for laparoscopic distal gastrectomy is managed according to our current perioperative practice. |
Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- Change of the Quality of recovery-15 during the first 72 hours after surgery [postoperative 24, 48, and 72 hours]
Korean version of Quality of recovery-15 questionnaire (0-150): 0, "very poor recovery"; 150, "excellent recovery"
Secondary Outcome Measures
- Postoperative pain score [postoperative 24, 48, and 72 hours]
11-pointed NRS pain score at resting/coughing NRS (0-10): 0,"no pain"; 10, "worst pain imaginable"
- Total fentanyl consumption [postoperative 24, 48, and 72 hours]
postoperative fentanyl consumption (mcg) via IV patient controlled analgesia
- Postoperative nausea and vomiting [postoperative 24, 48, and 72 hours]
Incidence of postoperative nausea and vomiting (%)
- Postoperative gastrointestinal dysfunction [postoperative 24, 48, and 72 hours]
I-FEED score 3 points or more (postoperative gastrointestinal intolerance and dysfunction)
