Abstract
Introduction: The Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) protocol, a comprehensive multimodal approach, aims to mitigate surgical stress, expedite recovery, and improve postoperative outcomes. Its implementation has notably advanced perioperative care in colorectal cancer surgeries. Integrating ERAS with multidisciplinary collaboration, involving surgery, anesthesia, nursing, and nutrition, may further enhance patient outcomes, making it a significant focus in clinical practice.
Methods: This study assessed the effectiveness of integrating the ERAS model with multidisciplinary collaboration during the perioperative period in colorectal cancer patients. A total of 117 patients scheduled for elective surgery at Haiyan People's Hospital between August 2023 and April 2024 were randomly assigned to either a control group (n = 59), receiving traditional care, or an experimental group (n = 58), receiving ERAS-based multidisciplinary care. Key outcomes related to postoperative rehabilitation were evaluated.
Results: Patients in the ERAS group demonstrated significantly shorter hospital stays, quicker catheter removal, and earlier mobilization compared to the control group (P < 0.0001 for all). Additionally, the ERAS group exhibited reduced postoperative inflammatory responses, as indicated by significantly lower interleukin-6 levels on the first postoperative day (P = 0.0247). The quality of life was significantly higher in the ERAS group (P < 0.05). Furthermore, the ERAS group incurred lower total hospitalization expenses than the control group (P = 0.0011).
Conclusion: These findings confirm the benefits of the ERAS protocol in enhancing postoperative recovery in colorectal cancer surgeries. The study highlights the importance of a multidisciplinary approach in optimizing patient outcomes and reducing the burden on hospital resources.
期刊介绍:
Pain and Therapy is an international, open access, peer-reviewed, rapid publication journal dedicated to the publication of high-quality clinical (all phases), observational, real-world, and health outcomes research around the discovery, development, and use of pain therapies and pain-related devices. Studies relating to diagnosis, pharmacoeconomics, public health, quality of life, and patient care, management, and education are also encouraged.
Areas of focus include, but are not limited to, acute pain, cancer pain, chronic pain, headache and migraine, neuropathic pain, opioids, palliative care and pain ethics, peri- and post-operative pain as well as rheumatic pain and fibromyalgia.
The journal is of interest to a broad audience of pharmaceutical and healthcare professionals and publishes original research, reviews, case reports, trial protocols, short communications such as commentaries and editorials, and letters. The journal is read by a global audience and receives submissions from around the world. Pain and Therapy will consider all scientifically sound research be it positive, confirmatory or negative data. Submissions are welcomed whether they relate to an international and/or a country-specific audience, something that is crucially important when researchers are trying to target more specific patient populations. This inclusive approach allows the journal to assist in the dissemination of all scientifically and ethically sound research.
