OBJECTIVE

Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) represents an evidenced-based approach to surgical management challenging traditional paradigms with the goal of maintaining normal physiology perioperatively, hence, these benefits were replicated across the spectrum of gynecologic surgeries. The study aims to determine if there is a significant difference in patient's outcome between ERAS and standard diet who will undergo elective abdominal hysterectomies with or without salpingo oophorectomy for benign gynecologic lesions.

This study is a single blind, superiority, randomized controlled trial design. Participants were group as ERAS and standard diet. A total of 15 cases in each study arm was judged sufficient to ensure confidence interval of 95%, 80% power (beta error), 5% margin of error, 50 % of exposed with outcome and 0.5% percent of unexposed with outcome generated from OpenEpi Version 3.01. It utilized descriptive and inferential analysis. Comparative analysis was done using Z-test of proportion for categorical variables and MannWhitney test for continuous variable. Two tailed with values of P < 0.05 were concluded statistically significant.

Between January 2021 to December 2021, there were 30 cases participated in this study. ERAS shown better result such as shorter length of hospital stay (pCONCLUSION

The study showed better patient's outcome, postoperative complications and subjective well-being who underwent elective abdominal hysterectomies with or without salpingo-oophorectomy for benign gynecologic lesions under ERAS. Our findings may contribute in the standardization of guidelines for perioperative nutritional care in elective abdominal hysterectomies with or without salpingooophorectomy for benign gynecologic conditions.

Video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery(VATS)has become the main method of lobectomy.Multimodal analgesia is one of the core contents of enhanced recovery after surgery(ERAS)management in VATS lobectomy,which aims to control perioperative pain,reduce stress response,and achieve rapid recovery after surgery.In recent years,multimodal analgesia has developed rapidly,emphasizing the comprehensive implementation of a variety of analgesic methods and the synergistic application of analgesics with different mechanisms.This article reviews the new progress in the implementation of multimodal analgesia in VATS lobectomy and addresses the current problems and challenges,aiming to help develop more effective and practical analgesic strategies of ERAS.

Enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) is a multimodal perioperative care program to decrease the risk of delayed hospitalization, medical complications, readmission and to improve patient short- and long-term outcomes with minimized level of surgical stress responses through multidisciplinary cooperation. Despite its huge success, the program has challenges for further optimization with a primary focus on modification according to the specific pathophysiology and perioperative management characteristics of patients with gastrointestinal tumors to improve the compliance and implementation rate of items. Patient education, prehabilitation, multimodal analgesia, precision surgery, early mobilization, early oral feeding and oral nutrition supplement (ONS) should be regarded as core terms suitable for all the patients. During the application of ERAS pathway management, it is necessary to fully understand the perioperative changes of organ function and pathophysiology, and to strictly implement the ERAS program and items based on evidence-based medicine. Moreover, the close collaboration of multidisciplinary teams is needed to improve the compliance and increase the adherence rate of ERAS protocol for patients, which emphasizes the dynamic, gap-free and whole course management that covers pre-hospital, pre-operative, intra-operative, post-operative and post-hospital periods. Concurrently, we encourage our patients and their families to participate in the whole healthcare activities. Even more concerning, it is indispensable to adjust ERAS program for special time and special patients. At present, several consensus and guidelines on the ERAS management of gastrointestinal tumor surgery have come out for clinical practice in China, which, however, still lacks a high-level evidence from more high-quality clinical trials conducted by Chinese researchers. It is urgent to carry out a series of large-scale randomized controlled studies in accordance with international standards to obtain high-level evidence-based medical evidence for clinical practice, which is problem-oriented and integrated with features of metabolism and perioperative management of gastrointestinal tumor surgery.

OBJECTIVE: To observe the effect of acupoint stimulation on the quality of recovery in patients with radical thyroidectomy under the concept of enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS). METHODS: A total of 62 patients with radical thyroidectomy were randomized into an observation group and a control group, 31 cases in each one. In both of the two groups, general anesthesia with tracheal intubation was applied, the same anesthesia induction and maintenance medication were given. In the observation group, auricular point pressing with magnetic beads was adopted at bilateral shenmen (TF) and transcutaneous electrical acupoint stimulation (dilatational wave, 2 Hz/100 Hz in frequency, 6 to 12 mA) was performed at bilateral Hegu (LI 4) and Neiguan (PC 6) from 30 min before anesthesia induction to the end of the anesthesia. In the control group, medical adhesive plaster was pasted at bilateral shenmen (TF) and the electrodes were plastered at bilateral Hegu (LI 4) and Neiguan (PC 6) with no corresponding stimulation. In both of the two groups, visual analogue scale for anxiety (VAS-A) score was observed to evaluate the anxiety severity before anesthesia induction; the total intraoperative dosages of sufentanil, remifentanil and propofol were recorded; the numerical rating scale (NRS) score was used to assess the pain severity of instant time (T0) and 30 min (T1) of entering post-anesthesia recovery room (PACU), motor and static mode at 2 h (T2), 6 h (T3), 12 h (T4), 24 h (T5) after surgery; time of first anal exhaust, time of getting out of bed after surgery, total hospitalization time and the incidences of postoperative nausea and vomiting were observed; the quality of recovery was assessed by the 40-item quality of recovery score (QoR-40). RESULTS: The VAS-A score and the total intraoperative dosage of remifentanil in the observation group were reduced compared with the control group (<0.05). The NRS scores at T0-T4 in the observation group were lower than those in the control group (<0.01, <0.05), while the difference between the two groups in NRS score at T5 was not significant (>0.05). The time of first anal exhaust and getting out of bed after surgery in the observation group were advanced than those in the control group (<0.05), there was no significant difference between the two groups in total hospitalization time and incidences of postoperative nausea and vomiting (>0.05). Compared with the control group, the QoR-40 score was increased in the observation group (<0.05). CONCLUSION Acupoint stimulation can improve the preoperative anxiety in patients with radical thyroidectomy, reduce the intraoperative anesthetic dosage and postoperative pain, advance the time of anal exhaust and getting out of bed, improve the quality of postoperative recovery and enhance the recovery process.

Enhance recovery after surgery (ERAS) is an emerging discipline aiming to reduce perioperative stress response and postoperative complications and promote better and faster recovery of patients. In this study, the potential value and feasibility of acupuncture in ERAS is discussed from three aspects: acupuncture can reduce the demand of perioperative analgesic drugs, improve the postoperative gastrointestinal function, and prevent and treat postoperative complications. The combination of acupuncture and ERAS can better promote the rehabilitation of patients, complement the advantages of acupuncture and ERAS, and promote the development of acupuncture and ERAS.
