RESUMO
BACKGROUND: To analyze the effect of an exercise-nutrition management model based on the Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) concept on patients undergoing thoracoscopic radical surgery for lung cancer. METHODS: From June 2019 to December 2022, 85 lung cancer patients who underwent thoracoscopic radical lung cancer surgery were randomly divided into 2 groups. The control group, consisting of 42 patients, received routine nursing care during the perioperative period. The study group, comprising 43 patients, implemented an exercise-nutrition management model based on the ERAS concept during the perioperative period. We compared general data, perioperative indicators, compliance, and complications between the 2 groups. Additionally, we assessed the nutritional status using the patient-generated subjective global assessment (PG-SGA), albumin (ALB), prealbumin (PA), and hemoglobin (Hb), as well as lung function, including forced expiratory volume in the first second (FEV1) and maximum voluntary ventilation (MVV), in the patient population following the Piper intervention. RESULTS: In the study group, the times to first defecation and getting out of bed, the duration of thoracic drainage tube indwelling, and the length of hospital stay were shorter than those in the control group. The VAS scores on the 2nd and 3rd postoperative days were lower in the study group than in the control group (Pâ <â .05). Medication compliance was higher in the study group compared to the control group (Pâ <â .05). Post-intervention, the PG-SGA scores in the study group were lower, while PA, ALB, and Hb levels were higher than those in the control group (Pâ <â .05). The MVV, FEV1, and FVC values were higher in the study group than in the control group after the intervention (Pâ <â .05). The PFS and mMRC scores were lower in the study group compared to the control group after the intervention, and the QLQ-C30 scores were higher (Pâ <â .05). The incidence of complications was 6.98% in the study group, which was not significantly different from 11.90% in the control group (Pâ >â .05). CONCLUSION: The exercise-nutrition management model, based on the ERAS concept, exhibits significant perioperative effects in patients undergoing thoracoscopic radical resection of lung cancer, improving their nutritional status and reducing complications.

OBJECTIVES: Enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) protocols provide well-known benefits in the immediate recovery with a shorter length of stay (LOS) and also in gynecological surgery. However, the impact of ERAS has not been clearly showed yet regarding long-term consequences and health-related quality of life (HRQL). The aim of this study was to investigate the impact of ERAS on HRQL after hysterectomy for endometrial cancer. DESIGN: An observational retrospective study with propensity score matching (PSM) was performed. PARTICIPANTS: We administered the SF-36 validated questionnaire to women underwent hysterectomy and lymph nodal staging before and after introducing ERAS protocol, getting, respectively, a standard practice (SP) and ERAS group. SETTINGS: The study was conducted at the academic hospital. METHODS: We collected demographic, clinical, surgical and postoperative data and performed a PSM of the baseline confounders. We administered the questionnaire 4 weeks after the surgery. The SF-36 measures HRQL using eight scales: physical functioning (PF), role physical (RLP), bodily pain (BP), general health (GH), vitality (Vt), social functioning (SF), role emotional (RLE) and mental health (MH). RESULTS: After PSM, we enrolled a total of 154 patients, 77 in each group (SP and ERA). The two groups were similar in terms of age, BMI, anesthetic risk, Charlson comorbidity index (CCI), and surgical technique (minimally invasive vs. open access). Median LOS was shorter for ERAS group (5 vs. 3 days; p = 0.02), while no significant differences were registered in the rates of postoperative complications (16.9% vs. 17.4%; p = 0.66). Response rates to SF-36 questionnaire were 89% and 92%, respectively, in SP and ERAS group. At multivariate analyzes, the mean scores of SF-36 questionnaire, registered at 28 days weeks after surgery (range 26-32 days), were significantly higher in ERAS group for PF (73.3 vs. 91.6; p < 0.00), RLP (median 58.3 vs. 81.2; p = 0.02), and SF (37.5 vs. 58.3; p = 0.01) domains, when compared to SP patients. LIMITATIONS: Further follow-up was not possible due to the anonymized data derived from clinical audit. CONCLUSIONS: ERAS significantly increases the HRQL of women who underwent surgery for endometrial cancer. HRQL assessment should be routinely implemented in the ERAS protocol.

BACKGROUND: Ketamine is used in enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) protocols because of its beneficial antihyperalgesic and antitolerance effects. However, adverse effects such as hallucinations, sedation, and diplopia could limit ketamine's utility. The main objective of this study was to identify rates of ketamine side effects in postoperative patients after colorectal surgery and, secondarily, to compare short-term outcomes between patients receiving ketamine analgesia and controls. METHODS: This was a retrospective observational cohort study. Subjects were adults who underwent ERAS protocol-guided colorectal surgery at a large, integrated health system. Patients were grouped into ketamine-receiving and preketamine cohorts. Patients receiving ketamine were divided into tolerant and intolerant groups. Propensity score-adjusted models tested multivariate associations of ketamine tolerance/intolerance vs control group. RESULTS: A total of 732 patients underwent colorectal surgery within the ERAS program before ketamine's introduction (control). After ketamine's introduction, 467 patients received the medication. Intolerance was seen in 29% of ketamine recipients, and the most common side effect was diplopia. Demographics and surgical variables did not differ between cohorts. Multivariate models revealed no significant differences in hospital stays. Pain scores in the first 24 hours after surgery were slightly higher in patients receiving ketamine. Opiate consumption after surgery was lower for both ketamine tolerant and ketamine intolerant cohorts than for controls. CONCLUSION: Rates of ketamine intolerance are high, which can limit its use and potential effectiveness. Ketamine analgesia significantly reduced opiate consumption without increasing hospital stays after colorectal surgery, regardless of whether it was tolerated.

BACKGROUND: Microsurgical breast reconstruction after mastectomy is now the standard of care for breast cancer patients. However, the costs and resources involved in free flap reconstruction can vary across different medical settings. To enhance patient outcomes in a cost-effective manner, we investigated the effect of intravenous magnesium sulfate (IV Mg) on postoperative opioid usage in this context. METHODS: A retrospective chart review was performed on all consecutive patients who underwent abdominal-based free flap breast reconstruction in a single institute following an enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) protocol. Patients who received IV Mg were compared with those who did not receive supplementation. Serum magnesium levels at different time points, narcotic consumption in units of oral morphine milligram equivalents (MMEs), and other postoperative recovery parameters were compared. RESULTS: Eighty-two patients were included. Those who received IV Mg on postoperative day 0 (n = 67) showed significantly lower serum magnesium levels before repletion (1.5 vs. 1.7 mg/dL, p = 0.004) and significantly higher levels on postoperative day 1 after repletion (2.2 vs. 1.7 mg/dL, p = 0.0002) compared to patients who received no magnesium repletion (n = 13). While both groups required a similar amount of narcotics on postoperative day 0 (20.2 vs. 13.2 MMEs, p = 0.2), those who received IV Mg needed significantly fewer narcotics for pain control on postoperative day 1 (12.2 MMEs for IV Mg vs. 19.8 MMEs for No Mg, p = 0.03). Recovery parameters, including maximal pain scores, postoperative mobilization, and length of hospital stay, did not significantly differ between the two groups. CONCLUSION: This is the first study to describe the potential analgesic benefits of routine postoperative magnesium repletion in abdominal-based free flap reconstruction. Further research is necessary to fully understand the role of perioperative magnesium supplementation as part of an ERAS protocol.

INTRODUCTION/BACKGROUND: Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) is a fundamental shift in perioperative care that has consistently demonstrated an improved outcome for a wide variety of surgeries in adults but has only limited evidence in the pediatric population. OBJECTIVE: We aimed to assess the success with and barriers to implementation of ERAS in a prospective, multi-center study on patients undergoing complex lower urinary tract reconstruction. STUDY DESIGN: Centers were directed to implement an ERAS protocol using a multidisciplinary team and quality improvement methodologies. Providers completed pre- and post-pilot surveys. An audit committee met after enrolling the first 5 patients at each center. Pilot-phase outcomes included enrollment of ≥2 patients in the first 6 months of enrollment, completion of 90 days of follow-up, identification of barriers to implementation, and protocol adherence. RESULTS: A total of 40 patients were enrolled across 8 centers. The median age at surgery was 10.3 years (IQR 6.4-12.5). Sixty five percent had a diagnosis of myelomeningocele, and 33 % had a ventriculoperitoneal shunt. A bladder augmentation was performed in 70 %, Mitrofanoff appendicovesicostomy in 52 %, Monti ileovesicostomy in 15 %, and antegrade continence enema channel in 38 %. The most commonly perceived barriers to implementation on the pre-pilot survey were "difficulty initiating and maintaining compliance with care pathway" in 51 % followed by a "lack of time, money, or clinical resources" in 36 %. The pre-pilot study experience, implementation, and pilot-phase outcomes are provided in the Table. All primary and secondary outcomes were achieved. DISCUSSION: The findings of the present study were similar to several small comparative studies with regard to the importance of a multidisciplinary team, strong leadership, and continuous audit for successful implementation of ERAS. Similar barriers were also encountered to other studies, which primarily related to a lack of administrative support, leadership, and buy-in from other services. The limitations of the present study included a relatively small heterogeneous cohort and absence of a comparative group, which will be addressed in the larger exploratory phase of the trial. The findings may also not be generaziable due to the need for sustainable processes that were unique to each center as well as an absence of adequate volume or resources at smaller centers. CONCLUSIONS: ERAS was successfully implemented for complex lower urinary tract reconstruction across 8 centers through a multidisciplinary team, structured approach based on the local context, and focus on a continuous audit.

Objective: This study aimed to investigate the effects of an enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) protocol on postoperative rehabilitation and pain levels in patients undergoing oblique lateral interbody fusion (OLIF), with the goal of promoting postoperative rehabilitation and providing a reference for clinical practice. Methods: Total of 165 OLIF patients were randomly divided into a control group and an ERAS group, with each group receiving different perioperative nursing approaches. Differences in postoperative pain, lumbar dysfunction, ability to daily living, nursing satisfaction, and total complication rate were compared. Results: The time of first getting out of bed, hospital stay, anal exhaust time, defecation time, and bowel sound recovery time in the ERAS group were shortened by 14.51 h, 2.45 d, 9.74 h, 10.82 h, and 7.59 h, respectively (all P < .05). In contrast to the control group, the Visual Analogue Scale score in the ERAS group decreased by 2.51 points 24h, 3.58 points 48 h, and 0.42 points 72 h after surgery (all P < .05). The Oswestry Disability Index score in the ERAS group decreased by 3.73 points at 30 days and 4.35 points at 90 days after surgery. The Japanese Orthopaedic Association score in the ERAS group increased by 4.26 points at 30 days and 4.08 points at 90 days after surgery in contrast to the control group. The Barthel score in the ERAS group increased by 5.08 points and 12.28 points at the postoperative 30 days and 90 days, respectively (both P < .05). The postoperative nursing satisfaction score in the control group was 89.57 ± 5.68 and that in the ERAS group was 96.29 ± 6.01 (P < .05). Conclusions: Incorporating ERAS in OLIF patients' perioperative care resulted in reduced postoperative pain and complications, improved lumbar function and daily living ability, and higher nursing satisfaction. ERAS contributes to effective postoperative rehabilitation. Significance and Implications: Incorporating ERAS in OLIF patients' perioperative care contributes to effective postoperative rehabilitation.

BACKGROUND: The enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) method is designed for the patient to recover quickly, have less pain and have a more comfortable period after the surgery; that includes preoperative, intra and postoperative processes. ERAS has been started to be applied in cesarean section surgeries as the patients need to recover quickly. In the literature, there is no study about the results of ERAS in cesarean section about pain scores and complications. OBJECTIVES: It is aimed to compare the results of cesarean section patients using the ERAS method completely in patients who have had cesarean section without meeting some of the postoperative conditions of the ERAS criteria. STUDY DESIGN: It is a prospective study designed as postoperative metoclopramide, enema and routine opioids in group 1, enema and metoclopramide in group 2, metoclopramide only in group 3 and nothing in group 4. Postoperative pain scoring was done by using visual analog scale (VAS). Analysis of variance tests and t tests were used for results. RESULTS: There was no difference between groups according to age, parity, and birth weight. As a result, although there was no difference between the groups in terms of discharge time and complications, the VAS score used in pain scoring was found to be significantly lower in group 3 compared to the other groups (p: 0.000). Only metoclopramide group (group 3) had lowest VAS score. CONCLUSION: It has been revealed that the ERAS procedure does not need to be so detailed in the postoperative period, and the addition of metoclopramide may be sufficient. Since pain can be a subjective factor, other randomized studies are needed in terms of other criteria.

BACKGROUND: Cytoreductive surgery and hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (CRS/HIPEC) are complex operations for the treatment of peritoneal metastases. Enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) protocols are intended to standardize preoperative, intraoperative, and postoperative pathways, with the goal of improving patient care. This study describes feasibility and outcomes after implementing an ERAS protocol for CRS/HIPEC at a tertiary academic center. METHODS: A single-institution experience of CRS/HIPEC was reviewed from January 2020 to March 2023. Patients were categorized according to whether they underwent CRS/HIPEC before or after ERAS initiation. Outcomes and protocol adherence were evaluated. RESULTS: A total of 115 CRS/HIPEC operations were included-74 before and 41 after ERAS implementation. Median age was younger in the post-ERAS group, whereas sex, comorbidities, peritoneal carcinomatosis index, operation performed, and operative time were similar between groups. The most common primary cancer sites were gynecologic (40%), appendiceal (24%), and colorectal (22%). Adherence to all postoperative ERAS components was 76%. More post-ERAS patients ambulated by postoperative day (POD) 1 (90% vs. 54%; p < 0.001), tolerated liquid diet by POD 2 (88% vs. 32%; p < 0.001), and had foley removed by POD 3 (86% vs. 43%; p < 0.001). There was a trend toward decreased length of stay in the post-ERAS cohort (7 vs. 8 days; p = 0.092), with no difference in major complications, intensive care unit admission, or 30-day readmission. CONCLUSIONS: Despite the heterogeneity of CRS/HIPEC operations, implementing an ERAS protocol for our patients was feasible and resulted in postoperative outcomes and adherence comparable with that of other major abdominal surgeries. This supports the potential for success in ERAS programs for CRS/HIPEC patients.

Objective: To investigate the effect of enhanced recovery after surgery-based respiratory function exercise in elderly lung cancer patients and its impact on postoperative functional recovery. Methods: A total of 109 elderly lung cancer patients admitted to our hospital between January 2020 and January 2021 were included in the study. The patients were randomly assigned to either the control group (n = 52), receiving conventional care, or the research group (n = 57), receiving enhanced recovery after surgery-based respiratory function exercise in addition to conventional care. Respiratory function, functional capacity, quality of life, and incidence of pulmonary complications were compared between the two groups before and after the intervention. Results: Following the intervention, the research group showed significant improvements in Forced Expiratory Volume in the first second, Forced Vital Capacity, and Forced Expiratory Volume in the first second/Forced Vital Capacity compared to the control group (P < .05). The research group also exhibited higher Barthel indices (indicating better functional capacity) and lower St George's Respiratory Questionnaire scores (indicating better quality of life) compared to the control group (P < .05). The incidence of pulmonary complications was significantly lower in the research group (5.26%) compared to the control group (21.15%) (P < .05). Conclusions: Enhanced recovery after surgery-based respiratory function exercise can improve respiratory function, promote postoperative functional recovery, enhance the quality of life, and reduce pulmonary complications in elderly lung cancer patients. These findings support its clinical application and wider adoption.

Objective: This study aimed to investigate the effectiveness of enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) during the perioperative period for patients with ureteral stones. Methods: A total of 105 patients with ureteral stones who underwent holmium laser lithotripsy at our hospital between January 2020 and January 2021 were included in the study. They were randomly divided into two groups using a random number table: the research group (n = 53) received ERAS, while the control group (n = 52) received conventional care. Postoperative recovery parameters were compared between the two groups, including time to mobilization, time to void, time to rehydration, time to remove the urinary catheter, and length of hospital stay. Visual analogue scoring (VAS) scores were assessed at 12, 24, 36, and 48 hours postoperatively. The General Quality of Life Questionnaire (GQOLI-74) scores and complication rates were compared. Results: The research group exhibited significantly shorter postoperative time to mobilization, time to void, time to rehydration, time to remove the urinary catheter, and length of hospital stay compared to the control group (P < .05). VAS scores at 12, 24, 36, and 48 hours postoperatively were significantly lower in the research group than in the control group (P < .05). Furthermore, post-intervention, all GQOLI-74 scores were significantly higher in the research group than in the control group (P < .05). The complication rate in the research group was 5.66% lower than in the control group (25.00% vs. 30.66%, respectively, P < .05). Conclusions: The application of ERAS during the perioperative period for patients with ureteral stones is associated with improved postoperative recovery, reduced postoperative pain, lower complication rates, and enhanced quality of life. These findings suggest that ERAS is a valuable approach to be promoted for clinical use.

STUDY OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the safety and effectiveness of transcutaneous electrical acupoint stimulation (TEAS) in postoperative analgesia following pediatric orthopedic surgery with the enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) protocol. DESIGN: Prospective randomized controlled trial. SETTING: The Seventh Medical Center of the Chinese People's Liberation Army General Hospital. PARTICIPANTS: Eligible participants were children aged 3-15 years who were scheduled to undergo orthopedic surgery of the lower extremities under general anesthesia. INTERVENTIONS: A total of 58 children were randomly allocated into two groups: TEAS (n = 29) and sham-TEAS (n = 29). The ERAS protocol was used in both groups. In the TEAS group, the bilateral Hegu (LI4) and Neiguan (PC6) acupoints were stimulated starting from 10 min before anesthetic induction until the completion of surgery. In the sham-TEAS group, the electric stimulator was also connected to the participants; however, electrical stimulation was not applied. MEASURES: The primary outcome was the severity of pain before leaving the post-anesthesia care unit (PACU) and at postoperative 2 h, 24 h, and 48 h. Pain intensity was measured with the Faces Pain Scale-Revised (FPS-R). RESULTS: None of the participants had any TEAS-related adverse reactions. In comparison with the sham-TEAS group, FPS-R scores in the TEAS group were significantly decreased before leaving the PACU and at postoperative 2 h and 24 h (p < 0.05). The incidence of emergence agitation, intraoperative consumption of remifentanil, and time to extubation were significantly reduced in the TEAS group. Furthermore, the time to first press of the patient-controlled intravenous analgesia (PCIA) pump was significantly longer, the pressing times of the PCIA pump in 48 h after surgery was significantly decreased, and parental satisfaction was significantly improved (all p < 0.05). CONCLUSION: TEAS may safely and effectively relieve postoperative pain and reduce the consumption of perioperative analgesia in children following orthopedic surgery with the ERAS protocol. TRIAL REGISTRATION: Chinese Clinical Trial Registry (ChiCTR2200059577), registered on May 4, 2022.

This paper reviews the researches on acupuncture preconditioning before surgery in recent years and explores its application value from three aspects, i.e. relieving preoperative anxiety, preventing from postoperative cognitive dysfunction, and preventing from postoperative gastrointestinal dysfunction. As a relatively safe non-drug treatment, acupuncture has the underlying advantages in participating into multidisciplinary coordination in the enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS). By building up higher-quality medical evidences and revealing the effect mechanism of acupuncture from multi-dimenisonal aspects, it is expected that acupuncture technology can be coordinated with ERAS to optimize the clinical path in the perioperative period, and boost the development of the perioperative medicine ultimately.

OBJECTIVE: To observe the synergistic effect and safety of combined use of houpo paiqi mixture and thumb-tack needle on promoting gastrointestinal function recovery after cesarean section. METHODS: Parturients receiving cesarean section were randomly divided into the control group (29 cases), the traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) group (30 cases) and needle+TCM group (30 cases). The control group received only routine postoperative treatment. Besides the treatment as the control group, parturients in the TCM group were given 50 mL houpo paiqi mixture 6 h and 10 h after cesarean section respectively. Besides the treatment as the TCM group, parturients in the needle+TCM group received thumb-tack needle treatment at bilateral Zusanli(ST36), Tianshu(ST25), Shangjuxu(ST37) and Sanyinjiao(SP6), Zhongwan(CV12), Qihai(CV6), with auricular pressure at bilateral otopoints Zigong(Uterus), Wei(Stomach) and Dachang(Large intestine), within 1 h after the parturients returned to the ward after the operation. Each acupoint was pressed for 10 s and performed acupressure every 4 h (except sleeping hours), continuously for 3 d. The time of bowel sound recovery, the time to the first postoperative exhaust and defecation, the time of postoperative semi-fluid diet recovery, incidence of postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV) and abdominal distention, and abdominal pain VAS score were recorded and analyzed. The safety of the treatments was also evaluated. RESULTS: Compared with the control group, the time of bowel sounds recovery, the time to the first postoperative exhaust and the time of postoperative semi-fluid diet recovery were significantly shortened in the TCM and needle+TCM groups (P<0.01); the time to the first postoperative defecation were significantly shortened (P<0.01), incidence of both abdominal distention and PONV were significantly decreased in the needle+TCM group (P<0.05, P<0.01); incidence of abdominal distention were significantly decreased in TCM group (P<0.05). Compared with the TCM group, the time of bowel sounds recovery, the time to the first postoperative exhaust and defecation, and the time of postoperative semi-fluid diet recovery were significantly shortened (P<0.01), and incidence of both abdominal distention and PONV were significantly decreased in the needle+TCM group (P<0.05). VAS scores of the three groups decreased gradually over time (P<0.01). Compared with the control and TCM groups, VAS scores of the needle+TCM group significantly decreased at 24 h, 48 h and 72 h after operation (P<0.01). No treatment-related adverse reactions were observed during the whole trial. CONCLUSION: On the base of the treatment with houpo paiqi mixture, the addition of thumb-tack needle treatment exerted positive synergistic effect on gastrointestinal function recovery after cesarean section, with high safety, which is worthy of clinical application.

Enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) measures have not been systematically applied in transurethral surgery for benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). This study was performed on patients with BPH who required surgical intervention. From July 2019 to June 2020, the ERAS program was applied to 248 patients, and the conventional program was applied to 238 patients. After 1 year of follow-up, the differences between the ERAS group and the conventional group were evaluated. The ERAS group had a shorter time of urinary catheterization compared with the conventional group (mean ± standard deviation [s.d.]: 1.0 ± 0.4 days vs 2.7 ± 0.8 days, P < 0.01), and the pain (mean ± s.d.) was significantly reduced through postoperative hospitalization days (PODs) 0-2 (POD 0: 1.7 ± 0.8 vs 2.4 ± 1.0, P < 0.01; POD 1: 1.6 ± 0.9 vs 3.5 ± 1.3, P < 0.01; POD 2: 1.2 ± 0.7 vs 3.0 ± 1.3, P < 0.01). No statistically significant difference was found in the rate of postoperative complications, such as postoperative bleeding (P = 0.79), urinary retention (P = 0.40), fever (P = 0.55), and readmission (P = 0.71). The hospitalization cost of the ERAS group was similar to that of the conventional group (mean ± s.d.: 16 927.8 ± 5808.1 Chinese Yuan [CNY] vs 17 044.1 ± 5830.7 CNY, P =0.85). The International Prostate Symptom Scores (IPSS) and quality of life (QoL) scores in the two groups were also similar when compared at 1 month, 3 months, 6 months, and 12 months after discharge. The ERAS program we conducted was safe, repeatable, and efficient. In conclusion, patients undergoing the ERAS program experienced less postoperative stress than those undergoing the conventional program.

Importance: Despite the adoption of the optimized Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) protocol, postoperative ileus (POI) severely impairs recovery after colorectal resection and increases the burden on the health care system. Objective: To assess the efficacy of electroacupuncture (EA) in reducing the duration of POI with the ERAS protocol. Design, Setting, and Participants: This multicenter, randomized, sham-controlled trial was conducted in China from October 12, 2020, through October 17, 2021. There was a 1:1 allocation using the dynamic block random method, and analyses were by intention to treat. Patients 18 years or older undergoing laparoscopic resection of colorectal cancer for the first time were randomly assigned to treatment group by a central system. Interventions: Patients were randomly assigned to 4 sessions of EA or sham electroacupuncture (SA) after surgery. All patients were treated within the ERAS protocol. Main Outcomes and Measures: The primary outcome was the time to first defecation. Secondary outcomes included other patient-reported outcome measures, length of postoperative hospital stay, readmission rate within 30 days, and incidence of postoperative complications and adverse events. Results: A total of 249 patients were randomly assigned to treatment groups. After the exclusion of 1 patient because of a diagnosis of intestinal tuberculosis, 248 patients (mean [SD] age, 60.2 [11.4] years; 153 men [61.7%]) were included in the analyses. The median (IQR) time to first defecation was 76.4 (67.6-96.8) hours in the EA group and 90.0 (73.6-100.3) hours in the SA group (mean difference, -8.76; 95% CI, -15.80 to -1.73; P = .003). In the EA group compared with the SA group, the time to first flatus (median [IQR], 44.3 [37.0-58.2] hours vs 58.9 [48.2-67.4] hours; P < .001) and the tolerability of semiliquid diet (median [IQR], 105.8 [87.0-120.3] hours vs 116.5 [92.0-137.0] hours; P = .01) and solid food (median [IQR], 181.8 [149.5-211.4] hours vs 190.3 [165.0-228.5] hours; P = .01) were significantly decreased. Prolonged POI occurred in 13 of 125 patients (10%) in the EA group vs 25 of 123 patients (20%) in the SA group (risk ratio [RR], 0.51; 95% CI, 0.27-0.95; P = .03). Other secondary outcomes were not different between groups. There were no severe adverse events. Conclusions and Relevance: Results of this randomized clinical trial demonstrated that in patients undergoing laparoscopic surgery for colorectal cancer with the ERAS protocol, EA shortened the duration of POI and decreased the risk for prolonged POI compared with SA. EA may be considered as an adjunct to the ERAS protocol to promote gastrointestinal function recovery and prevent prolonged POI after surgery.

OBJECTIVE: To assess the effect of the enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) protocol for cesarean deliveries (CD) on postoperative outcomes. METHODS: This multicenter prospective cohort study was conducted in six different centers between September 2020 and March 2021 and involved women who underwent either planned or unplanned CD. The primary outcome was time to the first passage of flatus following CD. Secondary outcomes included postoperative pain score, postoperative complications, and patient satisfaction. The protocol included early postoperative oral intake of ice cream and coffee, multimodal analgesia, antiemetic medications, and early ambulation. RESULTS: A total of 448 patients were included. The median time to the first passage of flatus was 10 h in the Hermes group and 18 hours in the control group (P < 0.001). Postoperative visual analog scale scores were significantly higher in the control group. Patient satisfaction scores and the frequency of postoperative complications did not differ between the groups (P = 0.08, P = 0.604, respectively). CONCLUSIONS: The ERAS protocol, including early serving of ice cream and coffee in the early postoperative period, enabled early discharge and a faster return of bowel function. Implementation of the ERAS protocol for patients who underwent planned and unplanned CD appeared to be safe and effective.

This paper reviews the researches on acupuncture preconditioning before surgery in recent years and explores its application value from three aspects, i.e. relieving preoperative anxiety, preventing from postoperative cognitive dysfunction, and preventing from postoperative gastrointestinal dysfunction. As a relatively safe non-drug treatment, acupuncture has the underlying advantages in participating into multidisciplinary coordination in the enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS). By building up higher-quality medical evidences and revealing the effect mechanism of acupuncture from multi-dimenisonal aspects, it is expected that acupuncture technology can be coordinated with ERAS to optimize the clinical path in the perioperative period, and boost the development of the perioperative medicine ultimately.

Enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) measures have not been systematically applied in transurethral surgery for benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). This study was performed on patients with BPH who required surgical intervention. From July 2019 to June 2020, the ERAS program was applied to 248 patients, and the conventional program was applied to 238 patients. After 1 year of follow-up, the differences between the ERAS group and the conventional group were evaluated. The ERAS group had a shorter time of urinary catheterization compared with the conventional group (mean ± standard deviation [s.d.]: 1.0 ± 0.4 days vs 2.7 ± 0.8 days, P < 0.01), and the pain (mean ± s.d.) was significantly reduced through postoperative hospitalization days (PODs) 0-2 (POD 0: 1.7 ± 0.8 vs 2.4 ± 1.0, P < 0.01; POD 1: 1.6 ± 0.9 vs 3.5 ± 1.3, P < 0.01; POD 2: 1.2 ± 0.7 vs 3.0 ± 1.3, P < 0.01). No statistically significant difference was found in the rate of postoperative complications, such as postoperative bleeding (P = 0.79), urinary retention (P = 0.40), fever (P = 0.55), and readmission (P = 0.71). The hospitalization cost of the ERAS group was similar to that of the conventional group (mean ± s.d.: 16 927.8 ± 5808.1 Chinese Yuan [CNY] vs 17 044.1 ± 5830.7 CNY, P =0.85). The International Prostate Symptom Scores (IPSS) and quality of life (QoL) scores in the two groups were also similar when compared at 1 month, 3 months, 6 months, and 12 months after discharge. The ERAS program we conducted was safe, repeatable, and efficient. In conclusion, patients undergoing the ERAS program experienced less postoperative stress than those undergoing the conventional program.
