Brief Summary

Although early and progressive mobility is widely accepted as an important aspect of postoperative care, guidelines and recommendations suggesting the exact timing and intensity of mobilization efforts are nonexistent. We propose the concept of walking out from the operating room (WOFOR), which means under meticulous anesthesia treatment, perfect postoperative analgesia conditions, rigorous assessment of consciousness and normal muscle strength, postoperative patients can walk safely out of the operating room and return to the ward. The aim of this randomized controlled trial is to investigate the effect of walking out from the operating room on the postoperative recovery of patients undergoing laparoscopic radical gastrectomy.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Length of hospital stay after surgery

    hospital stay time from operation completion to actual hospital discharge

    at hospital discharge(expected 7 days after surgery)

Secondary Outcomes (15)

  • Time to fulfill the criteria of hospital discharge

    expected 7 days after surgery

  • The percentage of patients feeling ready for hospital discharge when they reach the discharge criteria.

    expected 6 days after surgery

  • Postoperative recovery score using 40-item quality of recovery scoring system(QoR-40)

    every 24 hours after surgery (at 1-day, 2-day, 3-day), and then every 48 hours until the discharge after surgery (at 5-day, 7-day (if any), 9-day (if any)...)

  • Six-minute walking test

    the day before surgery, every 24 hours after surgery (at 1-day, 2-day, 3-day), and then every 48 hours until the discharge after surgery (at 5-day, 7-day (if any), 9-day (if any)...)

  • Anxiety score

    the day before surgery, every 24 hours after surgery (at 1-day, 2-day, 3-day), and then every 48 hours until the discharge after surgery (at 5-day, 7-day (if any), 9-day (if any)...)

  • +10 more secondary outcomes

Study Arms (2)

Walk out from operating room

EXPERIMENTAL

Patients will return to the ward after surgery by walking.

Behavioral: Walk out from operating room

Leave operating room by transporting bed

NO INTERVENTION

Patients will return to the ward after surgery by lying on the transporting bed.

Interventions

After the surgery of laparoscopic radical gastrectomy, patients will be encouraged to walk out from the operating room and return to the ward by walking under the condition of stable physiological parameters, painlessness, clear consciousness and normal muscle strength of lower limb.

Walk out from operating room
