Brief Summary
Multimodal perioperative care pathways have evolved into enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS). ERAS pathways improve the quality of patient care, reduce morbidity, and shorten length of stay. This project will test the hypothesis that implementation of a multi-modal ERAS perioperative care protocol in colorectal surgical patients will result in significantly reduced perioperative morbidity and mortality.

Study Arms (3)
Historical control
Patients who underwent colorectal surgery with standard perioperative care starting from June 2014 and progressing backward in time.
ERAS without SOC noninvasive hemodynamic monitoring
Patients who underwent colorectal surgery after implementation of standard of care (SOC) ERAS perioperative care from July 2014 to February 2015
ERAS with SOC noninvasive hemodynamic monitoring
Patients who underwent colorectal surgery after implementation of standard of care ERAS perioperative care with standard of care noninvasive hemodynamic monitoring (with the ClearSight System, Edwards Lifesciences) after February 2015
Interventions
Standard of care implementation of multi-modal evidence-based care pathway, including standardized preoperative preparation (medical and diet), perioperative goal-directed fluid therapy, multi-modal perioperative pain management, postoperative nausea and vomiting prevention, surgical care and bowel isolation, and surgical site infection prevention
Standard perioperative care prior to implementation of ERAS care pathway
Standard of care perioperative noninvasive hemodynamic monitoring with the ClearSight System (Edwards LifeSciences)
