Abstract
The present review discusses restrictive perioperative fluid protocols within enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) pathways. Standardized definitions of a restrictive or liberal fluid regimen are lacking since they depend on conflicting evidence, institutional protocols, and personal preferences. Challenges related to restrictive fluid protocols are related to proper patient selection within standardized ERAS protocols. On the other hand, invasive goal-directed fluid therapy (GDFT) is reserved for more challenging disease presentations and polymorbid and frail patients. While the perfusion rate (mL/kg/h) appears less predictive for postoperative outcomes, the authors identified critical thresholds related to total intravenous fluids and weight gain. These thresholds are discussed within the available evidence. The authors aim to introduce their institutional approach to standardized practice.

Abstract
The purpose of our study was to compare the short-term outcomes of early (within 3 months after stroke) and nonearly (more than 3 months after stroke) radical colorectal cancer surgery to find an appropriate time to surgery for these colorectal cancer patients complicated with new-onset cerebral infarction. A retrospective analysis of patients with stroke who underwent curative colorectal cancer surgery between January 2010 and December 2020 was conducted. Propensity score matching (PSM) analysis was performed to overcome patient selection bias between the two groups. A total of 395 patients were reviewed. After PSM, 40 patients in the early group and 40 patients in the nonearly group were compared. The median time to surgery was 4 weeks in the early group. The overall incidence of postoperative complications between the groups was not significantly different (p = 0.745). The early group was associated with less intraoperative blood loss (50 vs. 100, p = 0.029 ml), with no difference in 30-day morbidity and mortality. Additionally, multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that previous abdominal surgery (p = 0.049) was an independent risk factor for postoperative complications after matching. Before matching, multivariate logistic analysis showed that ESRS (p = 0.028) and MRS (p = 0.039) were independent risk factors. Radical surgery after 4 weeks of cerebral infarction may be feasible for colorectal cancer patients with new onset stroke, as it appear not to increase the perioperative complications of Clavien-Dindo grade II or higher, while strengthening the preoperative evaluation and perioperative monitoring.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Technical challenges during laparoscopic and robotic anterior resection include identification of key retroperitoneal structures and obtaining clear views of the inferior mesenteric artery (IMA) pedicle and total mesorectal excision (TME) plane. Steep head-down position improves surgical exposure but is associated with cerebral oedema, high intrapulmonary pressures, and rare neurological complications. In this article we describe the key steps of an anterior resection performed via the extra-peritoneal (XP) space in the supine position. METHODS The technique of same-side lateral-to-medial XP dissection has been developed and refined in serial cadaveric workshops. A standard periumbilical port is inserted for initial laparoscopic exploration. Dissection is then performed in the left XP space via a 5 cm skin incision (later used as the extraction site) to allow for insertion of four (latterly three) working ports. The colon is mobilized along its lateral attachments, reflecting retroperitoneal structures down and away. The IMA pedicle is taken proximally, next to the duodenum. If required, TME dissection can be continued in the same plane. A short intraperitoneal phase is then required to complete the procedure. RESULTS Eight cadavers were studied (seven males; median 78 y). Four operations were performed laparoscopically and four robotically. Excellent views of the key retroperitoneal structures were achieved early in the procedure. Anatomical identification was performed sequentially for left-sided structures-psoas tendon, gonadal vessel, ureter, common iliac artery, IMA, and duodenum before ligation of the IMA pedicle. High ligation of IMA on the aorta and splenic flexure mobilization were performed in all eight procedures. CONCLUSIONS This novel study shows it is feasible to perform the key steps of an anterior resection using the XP space in the supine position. This will reduce the need for steep head-down positioning which may have meaningful clinical benefits. Prospective clinical studies are required to validate the technique within a patient population.

Impact of Variations in the Nursing Care Supply-Demand Ratio on Postoperative Outcomes and Costs. J Patient Saf 2023; 19:86-92.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Improving surgical outcomes is a priority during the last decades because of the rising economic health care burden. The adoption of enhanced recovery programs has been proven to be part of the solution. In this context, the impact of variations in the nursing care supply-demand ratio on postoperative complications and its economic consequences is still not well elucidated. Because patients require different amounts of care, the present study focused on the more accurate relationship between demand and supply of nursing care rather than the nurse-to-patient ratio. METHODS Through a 3-year period, 838 patients undergoing elective and emergent colorectal and pancreatic surgery within the institutional enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) protocol were retrospectively investigated. Nursing demand and supply estimations were calculated using a validated program called the Projet de Recherche en Nursing (PRN), which assigns points to each patient according to the nursing care they need ( estimated PRN) and the actual care they received ( real PRN), respectively. The real/estimated PRN ratio was used to create 2 patient groups: one with a PRN ratio higher than the mean (PRN+) and a second with a PRN ratio below the mean (PRN-). These 2 groups were compared regarding their postoperative complication rates and cost-revenue characteristics. RESULTS The mean PRN ratio was 0.81. A total of 710 patients (84.7%) had a PRN+ ratio, and 128 (15.3%) had a PRN- ratio. Multivariable analysis focusing on overall complications, severe complications, and prolonged length of stay revealed no significant impact of the PRN ratio for all outcomes ( P > 0.2). The group PRN- had a mean margin per patient of U.S. dollars 1426 (95% confidence interval, 3 to 2903) compared with a margin of U.S. dollars 676 (95% confidence interval, -2213 to 3550) in the PRN+ group ( P = 0.633). CONCLUSIONS A PRN ratio of 0.8 may be sufficient for patients treated following enhanced recovery after surgery guidelines, pending the adoption of an accurate nursing planning system. This may contribute to better allocation of nursing resources and optimization of expenses on the long run.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Early mobilization is incorporated into many enhanced recovery pathways. Inadequate analgesia or excessive opioids may restrict postoperative mobilization. The authors tested the hypotheses that in adults recovering from abdominal surgery, postoperative pain and opioid consumption are inversely related to postoperative mobilization, and that postoperative mobilization is associated with fewer potentially related complications. METHODS The authors conducted a subanalysis of two trials that enrolled adults recovering from abdominal surgery. Posture and movement were continuously monitored for 48 postoperative hours using noninvasive untethered monitors. Mobilization was defined as the fraction of monitored time spent sitting or standing. RESULTS A total of 673 patients spent a median [interquartile range] of 7% [3 to 13%] of monitored time sitting or standing. Mobilization time was 1.9 [1.0 to 3.6] h/day for patients with average pain scores 3 or lower, but only 1.2 [0.5 to 2.6] h/day in those with average scores 6 or greater. Each unit increase in average pain score was associated with a decrease in mobilization time of 0.12 (97.5% CI, 0.02 to 0.24; P = 0.009) h/day. In contrast, there was no association between postoperative opioid consumption and mobilization time. The incidence of the composite of postoperative complications was 6.0% (10 of 168) in the lower mobilization quartile, 4.2% (7 of 168) in the second quartile, and 0% among 337 patients in the highest two quartiles (P = 0.009). CONCLUSIONS Patients recovering from abdominal surgery spent only 7% of their time mobilized, which is considerably less than recommended. Lower pain scores are associated with increased mobility, independently of opioid consumption. Complications were more common in patients who mobilized poorly. EDITOR’S PERSPECTIVE

Abstract
BACKGROUND Traditionally, reversal of neuromuscular blocking agents following the completion of surgery was achieved with cholinesterase inhibitors. Recently, sugammadex has been increasingly relied upon. Sugammadex is a γ-cyclodextrin molecule that rapidly reverses steroidal neuromuscular blocking drugs. Its use following colorectal surgery has become more common, and while the rapidity of reversal is undoubtedly improved, whether sugammadex impacts clinical postoperative outcomes is unknown. This systematic review and meta-analysis aims to compare postoperative outcomes in patients receiving sugammadex to those receiving a control during colorectal surgery. METHODS Medline, Embase, and CENTRAL were systematically searched. Articles were included if they compared sugammadex with a control (e.g., neostigmine, pyridostigmine, placebo) in patients undergoing colorectal surgery in terms of total hospital length of stay and frequency of postoperative adverse respiratory events. Pairwise meta-analyses using inverse variance random effects was performed. RESULTS From 269 citations, five studies with 535 patients receiving sugammadex (45.8% female; mean age: 64.4) and 569 patients receiving a control (45.0% female; mean age: 64.3) were included. There was no significant difference in length of stay between the two groups (MD -0.01, 95% CI -0.27 to 0.25, P = 0.95). The risk of adverse respiratory events postoperatively was similar between the two groups (RR 1.33, 95% CI 0.81-2.19, P = 0.25). CONCLUSION There are no current data to suggest an improvement in postoperative outcomes with the use of sugammadex in patients undergoing colorectal surgery. This study is limited by the number of included studies. Further prospective studies comparing sugammadex and a control in colorectal surgery is required.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To estimate the extent to which staff-directed facilitation of early mobilization impacts recovery of pulmonary function and 30-day postoperative pulmonary complications (PPCs) after colorectal surgery. SUMMARY BACKGROUND DATA Early mobilization after surgery is believed to improve pulmonary function and prevent PPCs; however, adherence is low. The value of allocating resources (eg, staff time) to increase early mobilization is unknown. METHODS This study involved the analysis of a priori secondary outcomes of a pragmatic, observer-blind, randomized trial. Consecutive patients undergoing colorectal surgery were randomized 1:1 to usual care (preoperative education) or facilitated mobilization (staff dedicated to assist transfers and walking during hospital stay). Forced vital capacity, forced expiratory volume in 1 second (FEV1), and peak cough flow were measured preoperatively and at 1, 2, 3 days and 4 weeks after surgery. PPCs were defined according to the European Perioperative Clinical Outcome Taskforce. RESULTS Ninety-nine patients (57% male, 80% laparoscopic, median age 63, and predicted FEV1 97%) were included in the intention-to-treat analysis (usual care 49, facilitated mobilization 50). There was no between-group difference in recovery of forced vital capacity [adjusted difference in slopes 0.002 L/d (95% CI -0.01 to 0.01)], FEV1 [-0.002 L/d (-0.01 to 0.01)] or peak cough flow [-0.002 L/min/d (-0.02 to 0.02)]. Thirty-day PPCs were also not different between groups [adjusted odds ratio 0.67 (0.23-1.99)]. CONCLUSIONS In this randomized controlled trial, staff-directed facilitation of early mobilization did not improve postoperative pulmonary function or reduce PPCs within an enhanced recovery pathway for colorectal surgery.

Risk Factors for Postoperative Morbidity and Mortality after Small Bowel Surgery in Patients with Cirrhotic Liver Disease-A Retrospective Analysis of 76 Cases in a Tertiary Center. BIOLOGY 2020; 9:biology9110349. [PMID: 33105795 PMCID: PMC7690599 DOI: 10.3390/biology9110349] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/02/2020] [Revised: 10/18/2020] [Accepted: 10/21/2020] [Indexed: 02/07/2023]
Abstract
Simple Summary It is well known that the incidence of liver cirrhosis is increasing and it negatively affects outcome after surgery. While there are several studies investigating the influence of liver cirrhosis on colorectal, hepatobiliary, or hernia surgery, data about its impact on small bowel surgery are completely lacking. Therefore, a retrospective analysis over a period of 17 years was performed including 76 patients with liver cirrhosis and small bowel surgery. Postsurgical complications were analyzed, and 38 parameters as possible predictive factors for a worse outcome were investigated. We observed postsurgical complications in over 90% of the patients; in over 50%, the complications were classified as severe. When subdividing postoperative complications, bleeding, respiratory problems, wound healing disorders and anastomotic leakage, hydropic decompensation, and renal failure were most common. The most important predictive factors for those complications after uni- and multivariate analysis were portal hypertension, poor liver function, emergency or additional surgery, ascites, and high ASA score. We, therefore, recommend treatment of portal hypertension before small bowel surgery to avoid extension of the operation to other organs than the small bowel and in case of ascites to evaluate the creation of an anastomosis stoma instead of an unprotected anastomosis to prevent leakages. Abstract (1) Purpose: As it is known, patients with liver cirrhosis (LC) undergoing colon surgery or hernia surgery have high perioperative morbidity and mortality. However, data about patients with LC undergoing small bowel surgery is lacking. This study aimed to analyze the morbidity and mortality of patients with LC after small bowel surgery in order to determine predictive risk factors for a poor outcome. (2) Methods: A retrospective analysis was performed of all patients undergoing small bowel surgery between January 2002 and July 2018 and identified 76 patients with LC. Postoperative complications were analyzed using the classification of Dindo/Clavien (D/C) and further subdivided (hemorrhage, pulmonary complication, wound healing disturbances, renal failure). A total of 38 possible predictive factors underwent univariate and multivariate analyses for different postoperative complications and in-hospital mortality. (3) Results: Postoperative complications [D/C grade ≥ II] occurred in 90.8% of patients and severe complications (D/C grade ≥ IIIB) in 53.9% of patients. Nine patients (11.8%) died during the postoperative course. Predictive factors for overall complications were “additional surgery” (OR 5.3) and “bowel anastomosis” (OR 5.6). For postoperative mortality, we identified the model of end-stage liver disease (MELD) score (OR 1.3) and portal hypertension (OR 5.8) as predictors. The most common complication was hemorrhage, followed by pulmonary complications, hydropic decompensation, renal failure, and wound healing disturbances. The most common risk factors for those complications were portal hypertension (PH), poor liver function, emergency or additional surgery, ascites, and high ASA score. (4) Conclusions: LC has a devastating influence on patients’ outcomes after small bowel resection. PH, poor liver function, high ASA score, and additional or emergency surgery as well as ascites were significant risk factors for worse outcomes. Therefore, PH should be treated before surgery whenever possible. Expansion of the operation should be avoided whenever possible and in case of at least moderate preoperative ascites, the creation of an anastomotic ostomy should be evaluated to prevent leakages.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The efficacy of transversus abdominis plane (TAP) block compared with thoracic epidural analgesia (TEA) in abdominal surgery has been controversial. We conducted this systematic review and meta-analysis to assess outcomes of TAP block and TEA in a procedure-specific manner in colorectal surgery. METHODS A systematic literature search of the PubMed, Embase, Cochrane Library, and Scopus databases was conducted through July 10, 2020, to identify randomized controlled trials (RCTs) comparing TAP block with TEA in colorectal surgery. Primary outcomes were pain scores at rest and movement at 24 h postoperatively. Secondary outcomes included postoperative pain scores at 0-2 and 48 h, opioid consumption, postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV), functional recovery, hospital stay, and adverse events. RESULTS Six RCTs with 568 patients were included. Methodological quality of these RCTs ranged from moderate to high. TAP block provided comparable pain control, lower 24 h and total opioid consumption, shorter time to ambulation and urinary catheter time, and lower incidence of sensory disturbance and postoperative hypotension compared with TEA. Meanwhile, the 48-h opioid consumption, PONV incidence, and hospital stay were similar between groups. When laparoscopic surgery was the only surgical approach employed, TAP block provided additional benefits of shorter time to first flatus and lower incidence of PONV compared with TEA. CONCLUSIONS Perhaps more germane to minimally invasive procedures, TAP block is equivalent to TEA in terms of postoperative pain control and provides better functional recovery with lower incidence of adverse events in patients undergoing colorectal surgery.

Abstract
<b><i>Background:</i></b> Mobilization after surgery is recommended to reduce the risk of adverse effects and to improve recovery. The aim of this study was to examine the associations between perioperative physical activity and postoperative outcomes in colorectal surgery. <b><i>Methods:</i></b> The daily number of footsteps was recorded from preoperative day 5 to postoperative day 3 in a prospective cohort of patients using wrist accelerometers. Timed Up and Go Test (TUGT), 6 Min Walking Test (6MWT), and peak expiratory flow (PEF) were assessed preoperatively. ROC curves were used to assess the performance of physical activity as a diagnostic test of complications and prolonged length of stay (LOS) of more than 5 days. <b><i>Results:</i></b> A total of 50 patients were included. Patients with complications were significantly older (67 years) than those without complications (53 years, <i>p</i> = 0.020). PEF was significantly lower in the group with complications (mean flow 294.3 vs. 363.6 L/min, <i>p</i> = 0.038) while there was no difference between groups for the other two tests (TUGT and 6MWT). The tests had no capacity to discriminate the occurrence of complications and prolonged LOS, except the 6MWT for LOS (AUC = 0.746, <i>p</i> = 0.004, 95% CI: 0.604–0.889). There was no difference in the mean number of preoperative footsteps, but patients with complications walked significantly less postoperatively (mean daily footsteps 1,101 vs. 1,243, <i>p</i> = 0.018). <b><i>Conclusions:</i></b><i></i>Colorectal surgery patients with complications were elderly, had decreased PEF, and walked less postoperatively. The 6MWT could be used preoperatively to discriminate patients with potentially increased LOS and foster mobilisation strategies.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Pulmonary complications after total joint arthroplasty are a burden to patients and the healthcare system. The aim of this study is to demonstrate the effectiveness of a pulmonary screening questionnaire and intervention protocol developed at our institution to prevent pulmonary complications. METHODS Between 2010 and 2015, 7658 consecutive total joint arthroplasty patients at our institution were reviewed. Based on our pre-operative pulmonary risk assessment tool, 1625 patients were flagged as high pulmonary risk. Patients were determined to be high risk if they were a current or former heavy smoker with an abnormal spirometry, had a positive obstructive sleep apnea screening, required continuous positive airway pressure/bi-level positive airway pressure use, had a history of significant pulmonary disease, had an oxygen saturation <90%, or had body mass index >40. A standardized monitoring protocol and interventions including smoking cessation, treatment and optimization of primary pulmonary conditions, peri-operative inhaler use, spinal anesthesia, aspiration precautions, elevated head of bed >20° resting and >45° while eating, maintaining oxygen saturation ≥92%, early use of incentive spirometer, avoidance of narcotics and early respiratory therapy consult were initiated for all high risk patients. RESULTS Only 7 of 7658 (0.091%) patients suffered pulmonary complications after initiating our intervention protocol. These included 3 aspiration pneumonias, 1 asthma exacerbation, 1 chronic obstructive pulmonary disease exacerbation, 1 continuous positive airway pressure intolerance in a patient with obstructive sleep apnea, and 1 requirement of bi-level positive airway pressure. The pulmonary risk questionnaire accurately identified all patients who had pulmonary complications. The overall pulmonary complication rate at our institution decreased from 5.7% to 0.09% after implementing our screening questionnaire and intervention protocol (P < .0001). CONCLUSION Our results demonstrate a more than 63-fold reduction in pulmonary complications at our institution. Our screening questionnaire and intervention protocol is an effective way of identifying and preventing pulmonary complications.
