Abstrakt: Introduction: Enhanced recovery after surgery protocols have been increasingly adopted to standardize patient care and decrease overall costs. This study evaluated the impact of a prospectively implemented enhanced recovery after surgery protocol for patients undergoing surgery for gastroesophageal and hepatopancreatobiliary disease at an academic institution.
Methods: Patients undergoing either hepatopancreatobiliary or gastroesophageal procedures between January 2013 and May 2017 were classified according to whether or not they were placed on an enhanced recovery after surgery protocol. Groups were compared along demographic, perioperative, outcomes, and financial variables.
Results: Of a total of 377 patients, 149 were placed on an enhanced recovery after surgery protocol. There was a significant association between enhanced recovery after surgery protocol use and increased perioperative antibiotic use (98.0% enhanced recovery after surgery vs. 87.3% non-enhanced recovery after surgery, P < .001), decreased intraoperative crystalloid use (1,155 ± 705 mL enhanced recovery after surgery vs. 1,576 ± 826 non-enhanced recovery after surgery, P < .001), decreased requirement for intensive care unit stay (20.1% enhanced recovery after surgery vs. 36.4% non-enhanced recovery after surgery, P < .001), and decreased total hospital costs ($10,688.38 ± 10,518.22 vs. $15,439.22 ± 14,201.24, P < .001). On multivariable analysis, enhanced recovery after surgery protocol use was independently associated with decreased rate of intensive care unit admission (odds ratio 0.39, 95% confidence interval 0.23-0.66, P < .001).
Conclusion: Enhanced recovery after surgery pathways can be safely implemented in patients undergoing hepatopancreatobiliary and gastroesophageal procedures and can help standardize perioperative practices, decrease requirement for intensive care unit admission, and decrease total hospital costs.
