Conclusions ERAS can be considered safe in elderly patients undergoing colorectal surgery with a high comorbidity index, providing a reduction in hospital stay and improving short-term postoperative outcomes. Does hospital readmission following colorectal cancer resection and enhanced recovery after surgery affect long term survival? This observational study investigated the impact of systematic ERAS implementation on surgical outcomes in patients undergoing colorectal resections in a regional network of 10 institutions. Patient-reported outcomes 6 months after enhanced recovery after colorectal surgery, Deiss T, Chen L, Sarin A, Naidu RK. There was a tendency for patients with OI at 24 hours to have a prolonged length of stay. Kehlet H.]. Overall compliance of ERAS elements was impressively high in both groups [85% vs 83%]. Perioperative Medicine (2018) 7:19. Do we really need the full compliance with ERAS protocol in laparoscopic colorectal surgery? Read more on ERAS Society website. With increasing frailty and co-morbidities, age is often thought of as a barrier to successful outcomes after surgery. Early oral feeding after surgery has become one of the key elements of ERAS protocols facilitating earlier hospital discharge. The ERAS® Interactive Audit System (EIAS) offers a Colorectal protocol based on the published guidelines of the ERAS® Society. The process of incorporating this pathway in clinical practice may be challenging. This is an excellent and comprehensive meta-analysis by Professor Lobo’s group in Nottingham [NB Prof Lobo is the ERAS Society Scientific Chair]. 2015 Nov;87(11):565-72. ORLANDO, Fla. – Colorectal surgery patients who were a part of an enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) program had less pain, while using nearly half as many opioids, according to research being presented at the ANESTHESIOLOGY ® 2019 annual meeting.. ERAS protocols focus on reducing the use of opioids while minimizing pain, expediting patient … What is already known: ERAS protocols have been safely implemented in colorectal surgery and include early mobilisation after surgery. OAB vs OAB + MBP showed no difference in SSI or anastomotic leak but did show a reduction in 30-day mortality and ileus with the combination. The statistical analysis, however, showed an adjusted odds ratio of 16.26 for patients suffering a complication being more likely to experience a delayed discharge from hospital. ABSTRACT Background:Enhanced Recovery After Surgeryprotocol (ERAS), is a strategy that combines perioperative manage- ment based on scienti fi c evidence that works synergistically to enhance functional recovery of patients after surgery, minimizing surgical stress. Moya P, Soriano-Irigaray L, Ramirez JM, Garcea A, Blasco O, Blanco FJ, Brugiotti C, Miranda E, Arroyo A. In particular patients who underwent stoma formations as part of their surgery. They also suggest that liposomal bupivacaine may be more effective than conventional bupivacaine. Their ERAS programme comprised ten main elements. However, despite the benefits of the ERAS program on short-term results, little is known about its impact on long-term results. Whilst the question of MBP use alone compared with no bowel prep has been answered, (there is no benefit), there has been a resurgence of interest in the use of oral antibiotic solution (OAB). They split the patients into three groups – high compliance (>90%), medium (70-90%)and low compliance <70%. Importance: Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) care has been reported to be associated with improvements in outcomes after colorectal surgery compared with traditional care. Given its potential adverse effects and patient dissatisfaction rates, it should not be administered routinely to patients undergoing elective colorectal surgery. The study showed that ERAS after colorectal surgery is safe and feasible, and that age is no barrier to an effective programme. Also the question of using MBP and OAB versus OAB alone is still unanswered. Orthostatic intolerance in enhanced recovery laparoscopic colorectal resection, Eriksen J et al Orthostatic intolerance in enhanced recovery laparoscopic colorectal resection. Optimal analgesia is an essential part of a successful ERAS programme, so the authors should be commended for conducting this important review. ERAS represents a paradigm shift in perioperative care in two ways. This paper aims to assess the impact of each element to outcomes. Jurt J, Slieker J, Frauche P, Addor V, Solà J, Demartines N, Hübner M (2017)Enhanced Recovery After Surgery: Can We Rely on the Key Factors or Do We Need the Bel Ensemble? However, despite the benefits of the ERAS program on short-term results, little is known about its impact on long-term results. With patients randomised into three distinct groups – no bowel prep, OAB + MPB and OAB alone. cer who underwent radical cystectomy (RC) and ileal urinary diversions (IUD). | D’Souza K, Choi JI, Wootton J, Wallace T. Can J Surg. Orthostatic hypotension (OH) and orthostatic intolerance (OI) are both barriers to full implementation of ERAS protocols post-operatively but their mechanism, risk factors and prevalence are not currently known. World J Surg. Introducing an ERAS programme across a provincial healthcare system. The authors should be congratulated on size of the study and the multi-centred nature and the fact that it was prospective. The authors conclude that tailoring the patient education element of ERAS programmes for IBD patients may help improve their outcomes. ERAS is a team approach, and you (the patient) are a big part of the team! Epub 2016 Oct 22. 2020 Jan;23(1):57-64. However, the most recent ERAS society guidelines do recommend immunonutrition based more on lack of harm rather than the quality of evidence base. Multimodal analgesia is an essential part of a successful ERAS programme, in particular simple analgesics such as acetaminophen or paracetamol. There is also concern that it liquefies faeces and so may increase risk of spillage and therefore infection postoperatively. Nelson G, Kiyang LN, Crumley ET, Chuck A, Nguyen T, Faris P, Wasylak T, Basualdo-Hammond C, McKay S, Ljungqvist O, Gramlich LM. This paper looks retrospectively at outcomes for patients enrolled in an ERAS programme to see whether the underlying diagnosis remains an important predictor of outcome. Patients were deemed compliant if they achieved at least 75% compliance (3 out of 4 of the elements in each pathway). What is already known: OBJECTIVE: The aim of the study was to determine the association between adherence to the ERAS protocol and long-term survival after laparoscopic colorectal resection for non-metastatic cancer. It was also suggested that the study was likely underpowered to look into the effect of complications upon hospital LoS. Patients undergoing major colorectal surgery under ERP (February 2010 to March 2013) were compared with a traditional care control group (October 2004 October 2007) at a single … Results: Among patients following ERAS protocol, we found a … colorectal surgery between 01/01/2019 and 12/31/19, with length of stay greater than 1 day, where the ERAS protocol was utilized. There was no association between opioid consumption and fluid administration within the first 24 hours with the development of OI. 2017;34(4):298-304. doi: 10.1159/000452633. Overall post-op complications were reduced in the immunonutrition group [23% vs 35%, p=0.035]; but in particular postoperative infectious complications [10.7% vs 23.8%, p=0.007]. Second, it is comprehensive in its scope, covering all areas … In this study there was definite variation in multi-modal analgesia regimens It was not possible to ascertain exactly why each approach was different. This paper is written by the Perioperative Quality Initiative (POQI) 2 workgroup, an international collaborative of experts in anaesthesia, surgery, nutrition and nursing. In order to better define ileus and aid in ascertaining its true incidence the group propose a rational definition of ileus or Post-Operative Gastrointestinal Dysfunction (POGD). Overall the two new RCTs did not alter the results; don’t let the headline put you off, this paper is well worth a read. Gut dysfunction and wound complications were the most common cause of readmission. Deviation from the protocol is in discretion of the anesthesiologist. Enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) (fast-track) ... Ljungqvist O, Nygrens J. Laparoscopic-assisted and open high anterior resection within an ERAS protocol. Gustafsson – Arch Surg 2011, Pecorelli – Surg Endos 2016, ERAS Compliance Group – Annals of Surg 2015]. Kiyasu Y, Tsunoda A, Ohta T, Kusanagi H. Recovery of gastric ileus following laparoscopic ventral rectopexy within an enhance recovery protocol. However, the benefits to specific patient groups in particular the elderly, is less well known. The group with extended counselling had a higher level of adherence to the elements which resulted in a 2 day reduction in length of stay. As a single tertiary referral center for colorectal surgery, our aim was to analyze the effects of our ERAS protocol on a heterogeneous population undergoing laparoscopic colorectal surgery.Prospectively collected data from 283 patients undergoing laparoscopic colorectal resection at the Division of General and Hepatobiliary Surgery, University of Verona Hospital … Slieker et al. What this paper adds: ERAS protocols have been safely implemented in colorectal surgery and include early mobilisation after surgery. Raising the question of how beneficial is prolonged VTE prophylaxis for patients undergoing colorectal surgery within an ERAS programme. 2019 Jul;270(1):43-58. doi: 10.1097/SLA.0000000000003145. Risk factors for development of OI at 6 hours were lower age, lower BMI and female gender. use of goal-directed fluid therapy at only 26.7%. This study further supports previous work showing that any barrier to adherence to the strict ERAS protocols can lead to delayed hospital discharge. And therefore missed out on intra-operative elements such as temperature control, antibiotics etc, but also important pre-operative ones such as pre-optimisation inc prehabilitation. Forsmo HM, Erichsen C, Rasdal A, Tvinnereim JM, Körner H, Pfeffer F. Dis Colon Rectum. Implementation of Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) Across a ProvincialHealthcare System: The ERAS Alberta Colorectal Surgery Experience. Background: Although the relation between adherence to the ERAS protocol and clinical outcomes was extensively studied, there is still ongoing discussion on the need and feasibility of full compliance in laparoscopic colorectal surgery. This single centre study aimed to look at the degree of gastric ileus recovery by the postoperative evening using an ERAS protocol. 2016 May;40(5):1092-103.

Ban KA, Berian JR, Liu JB, Ko CY, Feldman LS, Thacker JKM (2018) Effect of Diagnosis on Outcomes in the Setting of Enhanced Recovery Protocols. However, some elements were still poorly adhered to, e.g. The pathway starts before you come in for surgery. Initially, ERAS protocols converted many operations performed as inpatient to outpatient "day surgery" procedures. Enhanced Recovery after Surgery. It makes a lot of sense to do it but there is limited good quality evidence for its inclusion. (A number of RCTs are in progress looking at how preoperative intravenous iron therapy can influence outcomes.) The threshold for adherence with the elements was 70%, below which complications rose and length of hospital stay increased. The Use of the Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) Protocol in PatientsUndergoing Laparoscopic Surgery for Colorectal Cancer–A Comparative Analysis of Patients Aged above 80 and below 55. Increased BMI and duration of operation were also suggested as predictors for delayed discharge but these had adjusted odds ratios of 1.06 and 0.99 respectively and of limited clinical significance. The wide-ranging benefits, including reduced hospital length of stay (LoS), of both laparoscopic surgery and ERAS have been well established. Wideochir Inne Tech Maloinwazyjne. They acknowledge that this is a small study of 40 patients, and it is unclear whether the ERAS protocol is responsible for the reduced length of stay and resolution of gastric ileus. Int J Surg.

Their programme demonstrated a 3 day reduction in hospital length of stay; showing that with proper preparation, undergoing stoma formation does not necessarily need to be a barrier against following a successful ERAS programme. ERAS ® protocols based on the published ERAS ® Guidelines.. ERAS ® protocols are currently available for colorectal, gynecological, urological, liver, pancreatic, bariatric, breast reconstruction and head&neck surgeries and are periodically updated and improved by the ERAS® Society … OAB + MBP showed a significant reduction in SSI, anastomotic leak, 30-day mortality, overall morbidity and development of ileus. They received OAB with or without MBP. As experience developed with these protocols, principles of enhanced recovery were applied to increasingly complex procedures to reduce hospital length of stay and expedite return to baseline health and functional status [ 2,3 ]. History of ERAS • Previously known as “fast -track surgery” – Studies in 1990s (Kehlet – Denmark) showed ↓ LOS for colon resection from 9-10 d → 2 d – Also known as “enhanced recovery programs (ERP)” • “ERAS”: acronym started in 2001 (academic surgeons) – Intent: develop optimal evidence-based perioperative care pathway to facilitate patient recovery Both groups followed a comprehensive ERAS programme and all other aspects of perioperative care were the same. Dig Surg. Colorectal resections are associated with an in-hospital stay of 6 to 11 days and a complication rate of 15% to 20%. In particular they wanted the contact details of a stoma-nurse and felt that if they could directly discuss things with them it could reduce the need for emergency admission. Pre- and postoperative stoma education and guidance within an enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) programme reduces length of hospital stay in colorectal surgery. A few studies have investigated the time to being medically fit for discharge rather than hospital length of stay. The Role of Oral Antibiotic Preparation in Elective Colorectal Surgery: A Meta-analysis. Patients with neoplastic disease were found to be significantly more likely to have an ASA grade of III to V and have a higher risk of undergoing open surgery. First, it re-examines traditional practices, replacing them with evidence-based best practices when necessary. In fact, it was even the subject of a Pro / Con debate at last year’s ERAS congress in Lyon. In this large retrospective analysis of a prospectively kept database, 16% of over 1000 patients were readmitted. This group was made up of clinicians from 15 academic hospitals in Ontario, and setup their own version of an ERAS pathway. 2017;12(1):7-12. doi: 10.5114/wiitm.2017.66672. ADMINISTER and DOCUMENT multimodal drugs a. Are we ready for the ERAS protocol in colorectal surgery? Conclusion: Modified ERAS protocols for obstructive colorectal cancer reduced hospital stay without adversely affecting morbidity, indicating that ERAS protocols are feasible for patients with obstructive colorectal cancer. Enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) programmes were introduced and began to be implemented in the late 1990s,1 as part of an initiative towards reducing variations in patient care and improving quality standards.2 Building on their Danish origins, ERAS programmes have been internationally adopted and widely implemented for major elective surgical pathways in colorectal … 2018 Jun;267(6):992-997. What this paper adds: Rollins KE, Javanmard-Emamghissi H, Acheson AG, Lobo DN. Therefore, this study aimed to evaluate the efficiency and safety of ERAS protocols for colorectal cancer in Japan. World J Surg 2012 May;36(5) ... Colorectal Referring to the large bowel, comprising the colon and rectum. After the ERAS programme was introduced compliance improved from 39% to 60%. Pędziwiatr M, Pisarska M, Wierdak M, Major P, Rubinkiewicz M, Kisielewski M, Matyja M, Lasek A, Budzyński A (2015) The Use of the Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) Protocol in Patients Undergoing Laparoscopic Surgery for Colorectal Cancer–A Comparative Analysis of  Patients Aged above 80 and below 55. This study reports an association between adherence to the ERAS protocol and long-term survival after laparoscopic colorectal resection for non-metastatic cancer. Recovery of gastric ileus following laparoscopic ventral rectopexy within an enhance recovery protocol. Two potentially modifiable factors were found to significantly impact patient outcomes: laparoscopic surgery and preoperative haemoglobin levels. In this single centre Polish study, they compare post-operative outcomes in patients over the age of 80 years with those under the age of 55. Colorectal Dis. UCSF Colorectal Enhanced Recovery Pathway Updated May 2017 SURGERY NURSING PATIENT Enter surgery & pre-op orders Enroll in MyChart, Visit ERAS website for information. The Role of Transversus Abdominis Plane Blocks in Enhanced Recovery After Surgery Pathways for Open and Laparoscopic Colorectal Surgery. Whilst the authors did not define the specifics of their ERAS programme they did detail how their stoma nurse specialists focused on preoperative counselling and stoma education. The success of this program depends on pre-operative setting of expectations including the concept of patients being partners in their care and taking part-ownership of post-operative rehabilitation. The benefits of ERAS for patients undergoing colorectal surgery is well known. They report that gastric ileus had resolved in most patients within 5 hours postoperatively and 90% of patients were discharged on the day following surgery having met full discharge criteria. Clin J Pain. OI was present in 60% of patients in the first 24 hours postoperatively. In most colorectal ERAS RCTs, patients undergoing stoma formation are often excluded. In an era where there is increasing concern over long-term opioid dependence, any methods which may help identify patients who have become opioid dependent should be investigated further. Methods A wide database search on English literature publications was performed. That means there are things on the pathway your healthcare team will do and also things you will do. Mean length of hospital stay was not significantly different between groups [5.4 days (>80yrs) vs 7 days (<55yrs), p=0.44]; nor postoperative complications or readmissions. These findings may suggest that a significant proportion of patients are suffering in the long-term following surgery despite being enrolled in an ERAS programme. colorectal cancer surgery, reported that the introduction of ERAS principles was associated with improved long-term survival [11, 16]. This was a database analysis covering multiple centres thus details of individual ERAS programmes are not given. 12 After the ERAS Society was formed in 2010, the Society published a series of guidelines and special papers with procedure-specific recommendations, which form the basis for the protocols built into the audit system. A great deal of work has already been done demonstrating how improved compliance with ERAS elements can improve both short-term and long-term outcomes. The group examined a total of 15 protocols. But the optimal form of analgesia is not yet known. Gabapentin varied the most, with doses from 100mg up to 900mg. Background This is the fourth updated Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS ) Society guideline presenting a consensus for optimal perioperative care in colorectal surgery and providing graded recommendations for each ERAS item within the ERAS protocol. 1. They go on to recommend a number of strategies aimed at reducing the incidence of POGD, several of which are found in ERAS protocols such as multimodal analgesia (with opioid avoidance) and avoidance of NG tubes. Their full ERAS protocol was published however the use of NG tubes and thoracic epidurals for laparoscopic cases appears at odds with current ERAS guidelines. However there is often a delay between being medically fit for discharge and actually going home. The authors suggest this is purely down to the fact that there was no additional funding available to the sites. The only difference found, was that only 26% of >80yrs required opioids postoperatively compared with 55% of the <55yrs group. Does hospital readmission following colorectal cancer resection and enhanced recovery after surgery affect long term survival? New and updated ERAS Society Colorectal Surgery Guidelines. optimal adherence to the protocol was reported, with 79% of items respected. In the past VTE has a high morbidity and mortality, and most National guidelines have used old pre-ERAS evidence to base their recommendations. Ulf Gustafsson, Associate Professor of Surgery, Karolinska Institutet, Jonas Nygren, Associate Professor of Surgery, Karolinska Institutet. Surg today. ERAS protocols have been developed for colorectal surgery patients to reduce physiological stress and postoperative organ dysfunction through optimization of perioperative care and … Enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) (fast-track) ... Ljungqvist O, Nygrens J. Laparoscopic-assisted and open high anterior resection within an ERAS protocol. However, the use of NG tubes, prophylactic abdominal / pelvic drains, thoracic epidurals and a high ASA score were all independent risk factors for complications. Patient Education, EMMI videos Prehabiliation: Follow Exercise program and have support at home in place for discharge. Please contact us for details on how to get on board with ERAS ® Length of stay, diet issues, return of bowel function, readmission rates and complications were examined. The authors do comment on possible selection bias resulting from IBD patients being less likely to be enrolled on ERAS programmes or that those who were had a lower disease burden. Ann Surg. It demonstrates that at present there is no evidence that bowel preparation makes a difference to clinical outcomes in either colonic or rectal surgery, in terms of anastomotic leak rates, surgical site infection, intra-abdominal collection, mortality, reoperation or hospital length of stay. Promoting a culture of prehabilitation for the surgical cancer patient. Many post-operative outcomes have been investigated and have been shown to be improved following implementation of an ERAS programme. But there were a number of limitations including only recording data from patients who consented, which could be a biased towards those patients who were naturally more motivated to follow the programme. Materials and methods: Forty five from 90 consecutive randomized patients were enrolled in an adapted ERAS protocol. Helander EM, Webb MP, Bias M, Whang EE, Kaye AD, Urman RD. All had a multimodal analgesic regimen, but with the only difference being either intravenous or oral paracetamol / acetaminophen. While we have used pieces of the protocol over the past few months to enhance patient experience and outcomes, our first patients who received the full impact of the ERAS protocol had their surgeries in March.

Pre- and postoperative stoma education and guidance within an enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) programme reduces length of hospital stay in colorectal. American Society for Enhanced Recovery and Perioperative Quality Initiative Joint Consensus Statement on Postoperative Gastrointestinal Dysfunction Within an Enhanced Recovery Pathway for Elective Colorectal Surgery. It follows nicely on from the Cochrane review [2011], but with a further 5 RCT’s and includes over 21,500 patients versus almost 6000 in the Cochrane review. Aarts MA, Rotstein OD, Pearsall EA, Victor JC, Okrainec A, McKenzie M, McCluskey SA, Conn LG, McLeod RS; iERAS group. The updated analysis compared OAB vs no bowel preparation and MBP + OAB vs no bowel preparation. They are easy to perform and are opioid sparing with minimal side effects. Epub 2016 Jul 4. Interestingly despite the goal of multi-modal analgesia is to limit the amount of opiates dosing, three protocols used an opiate PCA as standard treatment. Your healthcare team will guide you along the way. Whilst 74.7% were compliant with the pre-operative elements only 40.3% were compliant with the post-operative elements. [And accompanying editorial: Ann Surg. Interestingly the main reason for this was a general feeling that the patient was being discharged too soon. This Canadian group sought to ascertain the satisfaction and major concerns patients had with their discharge planning process. The study did not, however, compare to outcomes before rolling-out an ERAS programme, nor did it give details of the programme itself. However quite a few patients felt they needed more information on specific complications and symptoms and how to manage them at home. This is a multicentre non-randomised retrospective analysis of patients over 70 years old undergoing colon or rectal surgery in three Spanish tertiary hospitals. Impact of mechanical bowel preparation in elective colorectal surgery: a meta-analysis, Katie E Rollins, Hannah Javanmard-Emamghissi, Dileep N Lobo.Impact of mechanical bowel preparation in elective colorectal surgery: a meta-analysis.
