Peri operative fluid management on era of eras

OBJECTIVES: This study aimed to analyze the adherence to strategies to prevent post-operative nausea and vomiting after implementation of an enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) protocol for gynae-oncology patients. Patient-reported nausea before and after ERAS was also studied. METHODS: This prospective observational study included all patients undergoing laparotomy for a suspicious pelvic mass or confirmed advanced ovarian cancer before (pre-ERAS) and after the implementation of ERAS (post-ERAS) at Oslo University Hospital, Norway...

Tumor mutational analysis has been incorporated into the management of patients with CRLM since it can provide valuable prognostic information as well as guide peri-operative systemic treatment. Unlike tumor biopsy, liquid biopsy has emerged as a promising, non-invasive alternative that can detect cell-derived markers from a variety of body fluids and might better characterize all subclones present at a specific time point and allow sequential monitoring of disease evolution. Although not currently considered standard of care, an increasing number of cancer centers are nowadays routinely using liquid biopsies in the treatment of CRLM patients with promising results...

Enhanced postoperative recovery programmes (ERAS) were developed about 20 years ago based on improved understanding of the pathophysiology of postoperative recovery within an integrated multidisciplinary approach. The results across surgical procedures have been extremely positive with a reduction in hospitalisation and medical complications, without increased re-admission rates. However, several challenges lie ahead including improved implementation of existing scientific evidence, increased focus on post-discharge recovery problems and a need for improved design of future ERAS studies...

INTRODUCTION: Enhanced recovery after surgery protocols (ERAS) are used in peri-operative care to reduce the stress response to surgical aggression. As fluid overload has been associated with increased morbidity and delayed hospital discharge, a major aspect of this is fluid management. Intra-operative goal-directed fluid protocols have been shown to reduce post-operative complications, particularly in high risk patients.?. OBJECTIVE: To compare 2fluid therapy models (zero-balance versus goal-directed fluid therapy) in patients who were scheduled for laparoscopic colorectal surgery within an ERAS program, recording the rate of complications such as surgical site infection, ileus, post-operative náusea and vomiting, and variability of the estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR)...

BACKGROUND: Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) programmes have been used in elective surgery since the 1990s to optimize peri-operative care, reducing post-operative complications, length of stay and overall costs. Following the local introduction of an ERAS programme for colorectal elective patients, it was suggested an increase in the use of ERAS-type principles in emergency patients may have occurred. The aims of this study were to determine whether management changes could be demonstrated and if there was a difference in outcomes...

Laparoscopy is one of the cornerstones in the surgical revolution and transformed outcome and recovery for various surgical procedures. Even if these changes were widely accepted for basic interventions, like appendectomies and cholecystectomies, laparoscopy still remains challenged for more advanced operations in many aspects. Despite these discussion, there is an overwhelming acceptance in the surgical community that laparoscopy did transform the recovery for several abdominal procedures. The importance of improved peri-operative patient management and its influence on outcome started to become a focus of attention 20 years ago and is now increasingly spreading, as shown by the incoming volume of data on this topic...
