Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Adherence to the pathway

    Adherence to single items of the pathway.

    Participants will be followed from two weeks before surgery, for the duration of hospital stay, and for 30 days after discharge, an expected average of 8 weeks.

Secondary Outcomes (1)

  • Postoperative outcome

    The outcomes will be assessed for the duration of hospital stay and for 30 days after discharge

Study Arms (2)

Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS)

EXPERIMENTAL

Patients treated with enhanced recovery after surgery protocol: preadmission counselling, preoperative immunonutrition, no preoperative bowel preparation, epidural analgesia with naropin + sufentanil, no pre-anesthetic medication, intraoperative iv fluid restriction, PONV prophylaxis with ondansetron + dexamethasone, hypothermia prophylaxis, removal of nasogastric tube (NGT) at the end of surgery, postoperative mobilization program, solid food diet from POD 2, early stop of iv infusions and removal of urinary catheter.

Behavioral: Enhanced recovery after surgery protocolDrug: PONV prophylaxis with Ondansetron + DexamethasoneOther: Postoperative mobilization programDrug: Epidural analgesia with naropin + sufentanilBehavioral: Preadmission counselling

Standard perioperative care (Control)

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

Patients treated with standard care perioperative protocol: epidural analgesia with naropin + sufentanil, pre-anesthetic medication with diazepam, Preoperative bowel preparation with sodium phosphate, removal of nasogastric tube on POD 1, solid food diet from POD 4

Procedure: Standard perioperative careDrug: Epidural analgesia with naropin + sufentanilDrug: Pre-anesthetic medication with diazepamDrug: Preoperative bowel preparation with sodium phosphate

Interventions

ERAS items implemented were: preadmission counselling, preoperative immunonutrition, no preoperative bowel preparation, epidural analgesia, no pre-anesthetic medication, intraoperative iv fluid restriction, PONV and hypothermia prophylaxis, removal of nasogastric tube (NGT) at the end of surgery, mobilization protocol, solid food diet from POD 2, early stop of iv infusions and removal of urinary catheter.

Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS)

Epidural analgesia, pre-anesthetic medication with diazepam, bowel preparation with oral assumption of sodium phosphate, removal of nasogastric tube on POD 1, solid food diet from POD 4

Standard perioperative care (Control)

Postoperative nausea and vomiting prophylaxis with Ondansetron + Dexamethasone.

Also known as: Zofran + Decadron
Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS)

Patient mobilization for 2 hours on first postoperative day Patient mobilization for 4 hours on first postoperative day + assisted deambulation in the room Patient mobilization for 6 hours on first postoperative day + assisted deambulation in the ward

Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS)

Midthoracic epidural analgesia with naropin 0.2 % plus sufentanil 0,5 mcg/mL

Also known as: Disufen
Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS)Standard perioperative care (Control)
