Fast-track rehabilitation program vs conventional care after colorectal resection: A randomized clinical trial

Abstract

The fast-track rehabilitation program can significantly decrease the complications and shorten the time of postoperative hospital stay of patients after resection colorectal cancer.

Early enforced mobilisation following surgery for gastrointestinal cancer: feasibility and outcomes

“…These results are in accordance with the results of Wang et al [12], who found that 53% of patients who received an ERAS programme including enforced walking following colorectal resection were able to walk on postoperative day 1. The present study found that patients who underwent oesophageal resection were unable to walk on postoperative day 1.…”

“…The protocol included structured mobilisation by a nurse and walking under the supervision of a physiotherapist, starting within 24 hours of surgery. The protocol is based on literature describing enforced mobilisation within ERAS programmes [6,12,13] and expertise of the hospital staff involved (i.e. surgeons, anaesthetists, nurses and physiotherapists).…”

The effect of enhanced recovery program for patients undergoing partial laparoscopic hepatectomy of liver cancer

“…Meanwhile, ERAS can promote intestine functional recovery, shorten the length of hospital stay (LOS), reduce hospital cost and protein loss, maintain water balance, and improve satisfaction during perioperative period [4]. Accumulating studies have demonstrated that ERAS is beneficial in colorectal, urologic and gastric surgeries [5][6][7]. But so far there is limited report regarding the application of ERAS in hepatectomy, either open or laparoscopic.…”

Fast-Track Programs Versus Traditional Care in Hepatectomy: A Meta-Analysis of Randomized Controlled Trials

“…FT programs involve multimodal perioperative strategies that include preoperative patient education, optimized anesthesia, early postoperative enteral nutrition, and early mobilization. Recently, anecdotal evidence suggested that FT programs are associated with beneficial clinical outcomes, such as shorter hospital stay, reduced hospital costs, and improved morbidity [3,4]. …”
