Abstract
BACKGROUND The preoperative carbohydrate load (PCL) is intended to improve surgical outcomes by reducing the catabolic state induced by overnight fasting. However, there is disagreement on the optimal PCL prescription, leaving local institutions without a standardized PCL recommendation. Results from studies that do not prescribe PCL in identical ways cannot be pooled to draw larger conclusions on outcomes affected by the PCL. The aim of this systematic review is to catalog prescribed PCL characteristics, including timing of ingestion, percentage of carbohydrate contribution, and volume, to ultimately standardize PCL practice. METHODS A comprehensive search was conducted in accordance with the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses guidelines. Randomized controlled trials were included if they studied at least one group of patients who were prescribed a PCL and the PCL was described with respect to timing of ingestion, carbohydrate contribution, and total volume. RESULTS A total of 67 studies with 6551 patients were included in this systematic review. Of the studies, 49.3% were prescribed PCL on the night before surgery and morning of surgery, whereas 47.8% were prescribed PCL on the morning of surgery alone. The mean prescribed carbohydrate concentration was 13.5% (±3.4). The total volume prescribed was 648.2 ml (±377). CONCLUSION Variation in PCL practices prevent meaningful data pooling and outcome analysis, highlighting the need for standardized PCL prescription. Efforts dedicated to the establishment of a gold standard PCL prescription are necessary so that studies can be pooled and analyzed with respect to meaningful clinical end points that impact surgical outcomes and patient satisfaction.

Abstract
PURPOSE Preoperative oral carbohydrate loading is a component of enhanced recovery after surgery protocols. The aim of this study is to investigate the effects of preoperative oral carbohydrate loading on postoperative clinical outcomes in spinal surgery patients. DESIGN This is a prospective case-control study. METHODS This study was conducted with patients who underwent spinal surgery from October 1, 2020 to October 1, 2021 in a neurosurgery clinic of an education and research hospital. The intervention group (n = 46) ingested 800 mL oral carbohydrate drinks at least 8 hours before surgery. The postoperative clinical outcomes were nausea, vomiting, antiemetic and analgesic drug medication, inflammation, and bleeding. The first flatus and defecation time, oral intake time, mobilization time, and length of stay in hospital were assessed postoperatively. Adverse events were monitored up to 24 hours postoperatively. The control group (n = 46) underwent routine fasting protocols. FINDINGS Lower rates of vomiting and bleeding during and after surgery and earlier defecation time and first mobilization time were determined in the intervention group, and the difference compared with the control group was statistically significant. CONCLUSIONS Preoperative oral carbohydrate loading is a nonpharmacological intervention that has a positive effect on postoperative clinical outcomes in patients who underwent spinal surgery and should be included in the enhanced recovery after surgery protocol.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) is a multidisciplinary approach aimed at reducing the length of hospital stay, improving patient outcomes, and reducing the overall cost of care. Although ERAS protocols have been widely adopted in various surgical fields, their application in cranial surgery remains relatively limited. METHODS Considering that the aging of the population presents significant challenges to healthcare systems, and there is currently no ERAS protocol available for geriatric patients over the age of 65 requiring cranial surgery, this article proposes a new ERAS protocol for this population by analyzing successful ERAS protocols and optimal perioperative care for geriatric patients described in the literature. RESULTS Our aim is to develop a feasible, safe, and effective protocol for geriatric patients undergoing elective craniotomy, which includes preoperative, intraoperative, and postoperative assessments and management, as well as outcome measures. CONCLUSIONS This multidisciplinary and evidence-based ERAS protocol has the potential to reduce perioperative morbidity, improve functional recovery, and enhance postoperative outcomes after cranial surgery in elderly. Further research will be necessary to establish strict guidelines.

Abstract
The efficacy of the enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) protocols in neurosurgery has not yet been established. We performed a systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials to compare the effects of ERAS protocols and conventional perioperative care on postoperative outcomes in patients undergoing craniotomy. The primary outcome was postoperative length of hospital stay. Secondary outcomes included postoperative pain visual analog pain scores, incidence of postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV), postoperative complications, all-cause reoperation, readmission after discharge, and mortality. A literature search up to August 10, 2023, was conducted using PubMed, Embase, Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials, Web of Science, and Scopus databases. Five studies, including 871 patients, were identified for inclusion in this review. Compared with conventional perioperative care, ERAS protocols reduced the length of postoperative hospital stay (difference of medians, -1.52 days; 95% CI: -2.55 to -0.49); there was high heterogeneity across studies (I2, 74%). ERAS protocols were also associated with a lower risk of PONV (relative risk, 0.79; 95% CI: 0.69-0.90; I2, 99%) and postoperative pain with a visual analog scale score ≥4 at postoperative day 1 (relative risk, 0.37; 95% CI: 0.28-0.49; I2, 14%). Other outcomes, including postoperative complications, did not differ between ERAS and conventional care groups. ERAS protocols may be superior to conventional perioperative care in craniotomy patients in terms of lower length of hospital stay, lower incidence of PONV, and improved postoperative pain scores. Further randomized trials are required to identify the impact of ERAS protocols on the quality of recovery after craniotomy.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE Enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) is a multidisciplinary,and evidence-based perioperative care method. It is effective in shortening hospital stays and improving clinical outcomes. However, the application of ERAS in craniotomy lacks reliable evidence. The purpose of this study is to investigate the efficacy and safety of ERAS in craniotomy. METHODS Studies of ERAS in craniotomy were systematically searched in PubMed, Embase, Cochrane, and Web of Science. Primary outcomes (total hospital stay and postoperative hospital stay, hospitalization cost, percent of patients with moderate to severe pain) and secondary outcomes (readmission rate and incidence of complication) were compared between ERAS and traditional perioperative care. RESULT Of the 10 studies included in this meta-analysis, 6 were randomized-controlled trials (RCTs), 3 were cohort studies, and 1 was non-RCT. A total of 1275 patients were included, with 648 in the ERAS group and 627 in the control group. Compared with the control group, the ERAS group had a significantly shortened total length of stay (LOS) (MD = -2.437, 95% CI: -3.616, -1.077, P = 0.001) and postoperative LOS, reduced hospitalization cost (SMD = -0.631, 95% CI: -0.893, -0.369, P = 0.001), and lower percent of patients with moderate to severe pain. There was no significant difference in readmission rate between the two groups. Though, the ERAS group had a significantly lower risk of pneumonia than the control group. CONCLUSION ERAS is safe and effective for craniotomy as it shortens total and postoperative LOS, reduces hospitalization costs, decreases the percent of patients with moderate to severe pain.

Abstract
Background To evaluate the gastric volume and nature after drinking preoperative oral carbohydrates in patients undergoing laparoscopic cholecystectomy via ultrasonography. Methods One hundred patients who had been scheduled for elective laparoscopic cholecystectomy were enrolled and randomized into the traditional fasting group (Control group, n = 50) and the carbohydrate group (CHO group, n = 50). Patients in the Control group fasted solids and drink from midnight, the day before surgery. Patients in the CHO group drank 800 ml and 400 ml of oral carbohydrates 11 and 3 h before surgery, respectively. At 2 h after oral carbohydrates (T1), all patients underwent an ultrasound examination of residual gastric contents; if the patients had a full stomach, the assessment was performed again 1 h later (T2). A stomach containing solid contents or >1.5 ml/kg of liquid was considered "full". The primary outcome was full stomach incidences at the above time points. The secondary outcomes included gastric antral CSA in the right lateral decubitus (RLD) and semi-sitting positions, as well as gastric volume (GV), GV per weight (GV/kg), and Perla's grade at T1. Results Compared with the Control group, the incidence of entire stomach was significantly high in the CHO group 2 h after oral carbohydrates. At the T1 time point, 6 patients (13.3%) in the Control group and 14 patients (30.4%) in the CHO group presented with a full stomach [95% confidence interval (CI), (0.96-5.41), P = 0.049]. At T2, 3 patients (6.7%) in the Control group and 4 patients (8.7%) in the CHO group had a full stomach, with no marked differences between the two groups [95% CI, (0.31-5.50), P = 0.716]. Compared with the Control group, CSA in the semi-sitting and RLD positions, GV and GV/W were significantly high in the CHO group at T1 (P < 0.05). The median (interquartile range) of the Perlas grade was 1 (0-1) in the Control group and 1(1-1.25) in the CHO group (P = 0.004). Conclusion Cholecystectomy patients experience a 2 h delay in gastric emptying after receiving preoperative carbohydrates. In LC patients, the fasting window for oral carbohydrates before surgery should be adequately prolonged. Clinical Trail registration Chinese Clinical Trail Registry, No: ChiCTR2200055245.

Abstract
A key component in fast-track total knee arthroplasty (TKA) is early mobilization. Preoperative fasting might cause orthostatic hypotension and -intolerance which both can interfere with early mobilization. It was hypothesized that consuming a carbohydrate drink 2-3 hours prior to surgery is a viable option to reduce orthostatic hypotension, and as a result, improve rehabilitation. In this randomized controlled trial, all consecutive unilateral primary TKA patients were reviewed for eligibility. Exclusion criteria were American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) class above 3, older than 80 years of age, Diabetes Mellitus, and an insufficient comment of Dutch language. Patients were distributed in two groups. The control group was allowed to eat till 6 hours and drink clear fluids till 2 hours before surgery (standard treatment). The intervention group consumed, additionally to the standard treatment, a carbohydrate drink 2-3 hours before surgery. Blood pressure was measured both lying and standing as a measure for orthostatic hypotension during first time postoperative mobilization on day of surgery. A total of 168 patients were included. Prevalence of orthostatic hypotension in the control- and intervention group was 24 patients (34%) and 14 patients (19%) respectively, (p=0.05). Prevalence of orthostatic intolerance was 13 patients (19%) in the control group and 9 patients (13%) in the intervention group (p=0.32). No drink related adverse events occurred. In conclusion, taking a carbohydrate drink 2-3 hours before TKA significantly lowers the number of patients with orthostatic hypotension in early mobilization. However, the clinical relevance of the carbohydrate drink has to be studied further.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Postoperative complications after craniotomy for brain tumors include pain, nausea/vomiting, and infection. A standardized enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) protocol is not widely accepted for this common neurosurgical procedure. Few studies have explored its application. METHODS A literature search of PubMed, Cochrane, and Google Scholar databases was performed between January 1992 and March 2023. Original studies that implemented an ERAS protocol for patients that underwent craniotomy for brain tumors were included. The following variables were evaluated: hospital length of stay (LOS), postoperative pain, postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV) prophylaxis, non-opioid analgesia, and quality of life (QOL). RESULTS Twelve studies with a total of 1309 patients met inclusion criteria, including ten randomized controlled trials, one nonrandomized controlled trial, and one quality control study. Most frequently assessed metrics included hospital LOS, PONV prophylaxis, and non-opioid analgesia. A significant reduction in postoperative LOS was observed in 7 studies with ERAS or ERAS components. ERAS was significantly associated with pain reduction on the visual analog scale and verbal numerical rating scale (n=8). Non-opioid analgesia in ERAS improved postoperative pain control (n=4) and decreased the duration of pain (n=1). Three of six studies found no difference in PONV in ERAS vs. control. No studies reported an increase in postoperative complications using ERAS vs. control. One study showed greater patient satisfaction at 30-day follow-up with improved QOL. CONCLUSION Implementing ERAS protocol may enhance outcomes and quality of life in patients with moderate evidence for improved recovery in those undergoing craniotomy for brain tumors.

Abstract
Objectives Enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) protocols have reduced the length of hospital stay (LOS) and healthcare costs without increasing adverse outcomes. We describe the impact of adherence to an ERAS protocol for elective craniotomy among neuro-oncology patients at a single institution. Methods This retrospective study enrolled adult patients who underwent elective craniotomy and the ERAS protocol at our institute between January 2020 and April 2021. The patients were divided into high- and low-adherence groups depending on their adherence to ≥9 or <9 of the 16 items, respectively. Inferential statistics were used to compare group outcomes, and multivariable logistic regression analysis was used to examine factors related to delayed discharge (LOS>7 days). Results Among the 100 patients assessed, median adherence was 8 items (range, 4-16), and 55 and 45 patients were classified into the high- and low-adherence groups, respectively. Age, sex, comorbidities, brain pathology, and operative profiles were comparable at baseline. The high-adherence group showed significantly better outcomes, including shorter median LOS (8 days vs. 11 days; p = 0.002) and lower median hospital costs (131,657.5 baht vs. 152,974 baht; p = 0.005). The groups showed no differences in 30-day postoperative complications or Karnofsky performance status. In the multivariable analysis, high adherence to the ERAS protocol (>50%) was the only significant factor preventing delayed discharge (OR = 0.28; 95% CI = 0.10 to 0.78; p = 0.04). Conclusions High adherence to ERAS protocols showed a strong association with short hospital stays and cost reductions. Our ERAS protocol was feasible and safe for patients undergoing elective craniotomy for brain tumors.

Abstract
The detrimental effects of both diabetes mellitus (DM) and hyperglycemia in the perioperative period are well established and have driven extensive efforts to control blood glucose concentration (BGC) in a variety of clinical settings. It is now appreciated that acute BGC spikes, hypoglycemia, and high glycemic variability (GV) lead to more endothelial dysfunction and oxidative stress than uncomplicated, chronically elevated BGC. In the perioperative setting, fasting is the primary approach to reducing the risk for pulmonary aspiration; however, prolonged fasting drives the body into a catabolic state and therefore may increase GV. Elevated GV in the perioperative period is associated with an increased risk for postoperative complications, including morbidity and mortality. These challenges pose a conundrum for the management of patients typically instructed to fast for at least 8 h before surgery. Preliminary evidence suggests that the administration of an oral preoperative carbohydrate load (PCL) to stimulate endogenous insulin production and reduce GV in the perioperative period may attenuate BGC spikes and ultimately decrease postoperative morbidity, without significantly increasing the risk of pulmonary aspiration. The aim of this scoping review is to summarize the available evidence on the impact of PCL on perioperative GV and surgical outcomes, with an emphasis on evidence pertaining to patients with DM. The clinical relevance of GV will be summarized, the relationship between GV and postoperative course will be explored, and the impact of PCL on GV and surgical outcomes will be presented. A total of 13 articles, presented in three sections, were chosen for inclusion. This scoping review concludes that the benefits of a PCL outweigh the risks in most patients, even in those with well controlled type 2 DM. The administration of a PCL might effectively minimize metabolic derangements such as GV and ultimately result in reduced postoperative morbidity and mortality, but this remains to be proven. Future efforts to standardize the content and timing of a PCL are needed. Ultimately, a rigorous data-driven consensus opinion regarding PCL administration that identifies optimal carbohydrate content, volume, and timing of ingestion should be established.

Abstract
PURPOSE This study aimed to investigate the effect of preoperative oral carbohydrate (POC) loading on the occurrence of complications in the postanesthesia care unit (PACU) after general anesthesia. DESIGN Prospective observational cohort study METHODS: Patients who were scheduled for abdominal surgery under general anesthesia at our institution were divided into the POC group and control group based on whether they drank carbohydrate solution 2 hours before surgery. POC loading of the patients was decided by the responsible surgeon. In PACU, the occurrence of postoperative complications including delayed emergence, emergence agitation, hypoxemia, hypertension, hypotension, moderate to severe postoperative pain, nausea and vomiting, hypothermia, shivering, and time to awakening, time to extubation, length of PACU stay were recorded. FINDINGS Data from 307 patients (n = 154 in POC group and n = 153 in control group) were included in the final analysis. Compared to the control group, POC led to a near-significant reduction in the overall incidence of complications in PACU after surgery (37.0% vs 47.7%, P = .058). The POC group had a lower incidence of hypothermia and shorter mean time to awakening when compared to control group (6.5% vs 16.3%, P = .007 and 19 min vs 21 min, P = .007, respectively). No statistical differences were detected in other outcome measurements between the POC group and the control group. CONCLUSIONS POC is associated with a trend to decrease the overall incidence of complications during recovery period after general anesthesia in patients who underwent abdominal surgery. Moreover, POC could reduce the risk of hypothermia in PACU and shorten the time to awakening.

Abstract
Background Preoperative carbohydrate loading is an important element of the enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) paradigm in adult patients undergoing elective surgery. However, preoperative carbohydrate loading remains controversial in terms of improvement in postoperative outcomes and safety. We conducted a Bayesian network meta-analysis to evaluate the effects and safety of different doses of preoperative carbohydrates administrated in adult patients after elective surgery. Methods MEDLINE (PubMed), Web of Science, EMBASE, EBSCO, the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials, and China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI) were searched to identify eligible trials until 16 September 2022. Outcomes included postoperative insulin resistance, residual gastric volume (RGV) during the surgery, insulin sensitivity, fasting plasma glucose (FPG), fasting serum insulin (Fin) level, the serum levels of C-reactive protein (CRP), postoperative scores of pain, patients' satisfaction, thirst, hunger, anxiety, nausea and vomit, fatigue, and weakness within the first 24 h after surgery and the occurrences of postoperative infection. The effect sizes were estimated using posterior mean difference (continuous variables) or odds ratios (dichotomous variables) and 95 credible intervals (CrIs) with the change from baseline in a Bayesian network meta-analysis with random effect. Results Fifty-eight articles (N = 4936 patients) fulfilled the eligibility criteria and were included in the meta-analysis. Both preoperative oral low-dose carbohydrate loading (MD: -3.25, 95% CrI: -5.27 to -1.24) and oral high-dose carbohydrate loading (MD: -2.57, 95% CrI: -4.33 to -0.78) were associated with postoperative insulin resistance compared to placebo/water. When trials at high risk of bias were excluded, association with insulin resistance was found for oral low-dose carbohydrate loading compared with placebo/water (MD: -1.29, 95%CrI: -2.26 to -0.27) and overnight fasting (MD: -1.17, 95%CrI: -1.88 to -0.43). So, there was large uncertainty for all estimates vs. control groups. In terms of safety, oral low-dose carbohydrate administration was associated with the occurrences of postoperative infection compared with fasting by 0.42 (95%Crl: 0.20-0.81). In the other outcomes, there was no significant difference between the carbohydrate and control groups. Conclusion Although preoperative carbohydrate loading was associated with postoperative insulin resistance and the occurrences of postoperative infection, there is no evidence that preoperative carbohydrate administration alleviates patients' discomfort.

Abstract
Population aging is an unprecedented, multifactorial, and global process that poses significant challenges to healthcare systems. Enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) protocols aim to optimize perioperative care. The first neurosurgical ERAS protocol for elective craniotomy has contributed to a shortened postoperative hospital stay, accelerated functional recovery, improved patient satisfaction, and reduced medical care cost in adult patients aged 18 to 65 years compared with conventional perioperative care. However, ERAS protocols for geriatric patients over 65 years of age undergoing cranial surgery are lacking. In this paper, we propose a novel ERAS protocol for such patients by reviewing and summarizing the key elements of successful ERAS protocols/guidelines and optimal perioperative care for geriatric patients described in the literature, as well as our experience in applying the first neurosurgical ERAS protocol for a quality improvement initiative. This proposal aimed to establish an applicable protocol for geriatric patients undergoing elective craniotomy, with evidence addressing its feasibility, safety, and potential efficacy. This multimodal, multidisciplinary, and evidence-based ERAS protocol includes preoperative, intraoperative, and postoperative assessment and management as well as outcome measures. The implementation of the current protocol may hold promise in reducing perioperative morbidity, enhancing functional recovery, improving postoperative outcomes in geriatric patients scheduled for elective craniotomy, and serving as a stepping stone to promote further research into the advancement of geriatric patient care.

Abstract
Cerrahi travma, oluşturduğu nörohormonal stres yanıtla homeostazı tehdit eden katabolik bir süreç başlatır. Cerrahi travma sonrası derlenme, yalnızca teknik cerrahi becerilere değil, aynı zamanda hastanın metabolik durumunun ve uygun beslenme desteğinin sağlanmasına da bağlıdır. Beslenme, ameliyat sonrası derlenme açısından önemli olmasına rağmen cerrahi hastalarda sıklıkla göz ardı edilmektedir. Açlık ve cerrahi stres, katabolik reaksiyonu başlatarak organ disfonksiyonuna, yara iyileşmesinde gecikmeye, ameliyat sonrası enfeksiyonlara morbidite ve mortalite artışına, hastane yatışında uzamaya ve maliyet artışına neden olmaktadır. Perioperatif süreçte beslenme ile ilişkili komplikasyonların önlenmesinde kanıt temelli doğru beslenme uygulamaları olumlu hasta sonuçlarını desteklemektedir. Ameliyat sürecinde güncel yaklaşımlar ve kanıta dayalı uygulamalar ile hastanın doğru beslenmesi sağlanarak, katabolizmanın azaltılması ve anabolizmanın desteklenmesi ile ameliyat sonrası daha hızlı bir iyileşme sağlanabilir. Cerrahi hastasının beslenmesi multidisipliner bir ekip yaklaşımını gerektirir. Cerrahi stres sürecinin azaltılmasında multidisipliner ekipte anahtar rolü olan hemşireler, güncel beslenme önerileri çerçevesinde hastanın beslenmesini optimal düzeyde desteklemelidirler. Bu derlemenin amacı, cerrahi girişim geçiren hastada beslenme yönetiminin önemini vurgulamak, perioperatif süreçte doğru beslenmeyi güncel uygulamalarla ortaya koymaktır.

Abstract
Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) protocols describe a standardized method of preoperative, perioperative, and postoperative care to enhance outcomes and minimize complication risks surrounding elective surgical intervention. A growing body of evidence is being generated as we learn to apply principles of ERAS standardization to neurosurgical patients. First applied in spinal surgery, ERAS protocols have been extended to cranial neuro-oncological procedures. This review synthesizes recent findings to generate evidence-based guidelines to manage neurosurgical oncology patients with standardized systems and assess ability of these systems to coordinate multidisciplinary, patient-centric care efforts. Furthermore, we highlight the potential utility of multimedia, app-based communication platforms to facilitate patient education, autonomy, and team communication within each of the three settings.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Preoperative carbohydrate drink is used to improve patients' comfort and recovery, but evidence remains limited in diabetic patients. Herein we investigated the effects of preoperative carbohydrate loading with individualized supplemental insulin regimen in diabetic patients undergoing gastrointestinal surgery. METHODS A total of 63 adult patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus undergoing major gastrointestinal surgery were randomized to receive either carbohydrate loading with individualized supplemental insulin (Carbohydrate group) or routine management (Control group). The primary outcome was time to first flatus after surgery. Among secondary outcomes, subjective feelings of thirsty, hunger and fatigue were assessed with the Visual Analogue Scale (scores range from 0 to 100, where 0 indicate no discomfort and 100 the most severe discomfort) before and after surgery. Adverse events were monitored until 24 h after surgery. RESULTS All patients were included in the intention-to-treat analysis. Time to first flatus did not differ between groups (median 41 h [IQR 18-69] in the Control group vs. 43 h [27-54] in the Carbohydrate group; hazard ratio 1.24 [95% CI 0.74-2.07]; P = 0.411). The VAS score of preoperative subject feeling of thirsty (median difference -33 [95% CI -50 to -15], P < 0.001), hunger (-25 [-40 to -10], P < 0.001), and fatigue (-5 [-30 to 0], P = 0.004), as well as postoperative subject feeling of thirsty (-50 [-60 to -30], P < 0.001), hunger (-20 [-40 to 0], P = 0.003), and fatigue (0 [-20 to 0], P = 0.020) were all significantly lower in the Carbohydrate group than in the Control group. Intraoperative hypotension (40.6% [13/32] vs. 16.1% [5/31], P = 0.031) and postoperative nausea and vomiting within 24 h (31.3% [10/32] vs. 9.7% [3/31], P = 0.034) occurred less in patients given carbohydrate drink. CONCLUSION In diabetic patients undergoing gastrointestinal surgery, preoperative carbohydrate loading with individualized supplemental insulin did not promote gastrointestinal recovery but improved perioperative well-being.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) has led to a paradigm shift in perioperative care through multimodal interventions. Still, ERAS remains a relatively new concept in neurosurgery, and there is no summary of evidence on ERAS applications in cranial neurosurgery. METHODS The authors systematically reviewed the literature using the PubMed/MEDLINE, Embase, Scopus, and Cochrane Library databases for ERAS protocols and elements. Studies had to assess at least one pre-, peri-, or postoperative ERAS element and evaluate at least one of the following outcomes: 1) length of hospital stay, 2) length of ICU stay, 3) postoperative pain, 4) direct and indirect healthcare cost, 5) complication rate, 6) readmission rate, or 7) patient satisfaction. RESULTS A final 27 articles were included in the qualitative analysis, with mixed quality of evidence ranging from high in 3 cases to very low in 1 case. Seventeen studies reported a complete ERAS protocol. Preoperative ERAS elements include patient selection through multidisciplinary team discussion, patient counseling and education to adjust expectations of the postoperative period, and mental state assessment; antimicrobial, steroidal, and antiepileptic prophylaxes; nutritional assessment, as well as preoperative oral carbohydrate loading; and postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV) prophylaxis. Anesthesiology interventions included local anesthesia for pin sites, regional field block or scalp block, avoidance or minimization of the duration of invasive monitoring, and limitation of intraoperative mannitol. Other intraoperative elements include absorbable skin sutures and avoidance of wound drains. Postoperatively, the authors identified early extubation, observation in a step-down unit instead of routine ICU admission, early mobilization, early fluid de-escalation, early intake of solid food and liquids, early removal of invasive monitoring, professional nutritional assessment, PONV management, nonopioid rescue analgesia, and early postoperative imaging. Other postoperative interventions included discharge criteria standardization and home visits or progress monitoring by a nurse. CONCLUSIONS A wide range of evidence-based interventions are available to improve recovery after elective craniotomy, although there are few published ERAS protocols. Patient-centered optimization of neurosurgical care spanning the pre-, intra-, and postoperative periods is feasible and has already provided positive results in terms of improved outcomes such as postoperative pain, patient satisfaction, reduced length of stay, and cost reduction with an excellent safety profile. Although fast-track recovery protocols and ERAS studies are gaining momentum for elective craniotomy, prospective trials are needed to provide stronger evidence.

Abstract
Background Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) is a multimodal perioperative care bundle aimed at the early recovery of patients. Well accepted in gastric and pelvic surgeries, there is minimal evidence in neurosurgery and neurocritical care barring spinal surgeries. We wished to compare the length of intensive care unit (ICU) or high dependency unit (HDU) stay of patients undergoing elective craniotomy for supratentorial neurosurgery: ERAS protocol versus routine care. The secondary objective was to compare the postoperative pain scores, opioid use, glycemic control, and the duration of postoperative hospital stay between the two groups. Methods In this pragmatic non-randomized controlled trial (CTRI/2017/07/015451), consenting adult patients scheduled for elective supratentorial intracranial tumor excision were enrolled prospectively after institutional ethical clearance and consent. Elements-of-care in the ERAS group were- Preoperative –family education, complex-carbohydrate drink, flupiritine; Intraoperative – scalp blocks, limited opioids, rigorous fluid and temperature regulation; Postoperative- flupiritine, early mobilization, removal of catheters, and initiation of feeds. Apart from these, all perioperative protocols and management strategies were similar between groups. The two groups were compared with regards to the length of ICU stay, pain scores in ICU, opioid requirement, glycemic control, and hospital stay duration. The decision for discharge from ICU and hospital, data collection, and analysis was by independent assessors blind to the patient group. Results Seventy patients were enrolled. Baseline demographics – age, sex, tumor volume, and comorbidities were comparable between the groups. The proportion of patients staying in the ICU for less than 48 h after surgery, the cumulative insulin requirement, and the episodes of VAS scores > 4 in the first 48 h after surgery was significantly less in the ERAS group – 40.6% vs. 65.7%, 0.6 (±2.5) units vs. 3.6 (±8.1) units, and one vs. ten episodes (p = 0.04, 0.001, 0.004 respectively). The total hospital stay was similar in both groups. Conclusion The study demonstrated a significant reduction in the proportion of patients requiring ICU/ HDU stay > 48 h. Better pain and glycemic control in the postoperative period may have contributed to a decreased stay. More extensive randomized studies may be designed to confirm these results.

Abstract
PURPOSE Fasting is a standard preoperative procedure performed to prevent vomiting and pulmonary aspiration during anaesthesia and surgery. However, fasting can cause postoperative physical and psychological discomfort. Intake of oral carbohydrate (CHO) may mimic the intake of food, which prevents postoperative discomfort. We conducted a meta-analysis to evaluate the effect and safety of preoperative oral CHO in adult surgical patients. METHODS Randomized controlled trials (RCTs) were searched for in the PubMed, EMBASE, and Cochrane Library databases. A meta-analysis was performed to calculate a pooled effect size by using random-effects models. The satisfaction outcomes were mouth dryness, hunger, thirst, pain severity, duration of hospitalization, homeostatic model assessment for insulin resistance (HOMA-IR), and the incidence of postoperative nausea and vomiting. The safety outcomes were the incidence of aspiration and infection. RESULTS In total, 57 RCTs involving 5606 patients were included. The outcomes of mouth dryness, thirst, hunger, and pain were assessed by a 10-point visual analogue scale (0 = best, 10 = worst). The severity of mouth dryness (weighted mean difference [WMD]: -1.26, 95% CI: -2.36 to -0.15), thirst (WMD: -1.36, 95% CI: -2.05 to -0.67), hunger (WMD: -1.66, 95% CI: -2.53 to -0.80), pain (WMD: -0.68, 95% CI: -1.01 to -0.35), duration of hospitalization (WMD: -0.39 day, 95% CI: -0.66 to -0.12), and HOMA-IR (WMD: -1.80, 95% CI: -2.84 to -0.76) were significantly lower in the CHO group than in the control group. The incidence of postoperative nausea and vomiting did not differ between the CHO and control groups. No aspiration was recorded in any of the groups. CONCLUSIONS Preoperative CHO can alleviate patient's discomfort without safety concerns. Surgeons and anaesthesiologists should strongly promote preoperative CHO as a strategy to enhance recovery after surgery protocols.

Shi Y, Dong B, Dong Q, Zhao Z, Yu Y. Effect of Preoperative Oral Carbohydrate Administration on Patients Undergoing Cesarean Section with Epidural Anesthesia: A Pilot Study. J Perianesth Nurs 2020; 36:30-35. [PMID: 33239219 DOI: 10.1016/j.jopan.2020.05.006] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/15/2020] [Revised: 05/13/2020] [Accepted: 05/17/2020] [Indexed: 12/20/2022]
Abstract
PURPOSE The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of preoperative oral carbohydrate administration on patients undergoing Cesarean section with epidural anesthesia. DESIGN Randomized controlled clinical study. METHODS A total of 75 patients undergoing Cesarean section (American Society of Anesthesiologists physical status grade I-II) were randomized to preparation with a carbohydrate drink (CHO group), flavored water (placebo group), or to the fasting group. The CHO and placebo groups were double-blinded and given 300 mL of the drink 2 hours before surgery. Visual analog scores of the patient were assessed to evaluate thirst, hunger, and anxiety level, and the gastric antral cross-sectional areas were recorded by ultrasonography during the operative period. Insulin resistance was calculated on the basis of the blood glucose and insulin levels assessed before administration and after surgery. FINDINGS The CHO and placebo groups did not show an increase in gastric fluid volumes in terms of gastric antral cross-sectional area, and there were no adverse events. The visual analog scale scores at preoperative baseline were not different between groups . During the preoperative waiting period, preparation with CHO reduced not only thirst and anxiety more efficiently than water (placebo) but also hunger (P < .05), whereas water did not. No difference was observed in insulin resistance between groups before intake of the drink. Compared with the preoperative levels, insulin resistance showed a statistically significant increase in all groups (P < .05); however, the increase was significantly higher in the fasting and placebo groups than in the CHO group (P < .05). CONCLUSIONS Preoperative administration of CHO decreases postoperative insulin resistance and enhances pregnant women's comfort, leading to a reduced sense of thirst, hunger, and anxiety during the preoperative period for Cesarean section.

Improvement in the Quality of Early Postoperative Course After Endoscopic Transsphenoidal Pituitary Surgery: Description of Surgical Technique and Outcome. Front Neurol 2020; 11:527323. [PMID: 33192965 PMCID: PMC7606856 DOI: 10.3389/fneur.2020.527323] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/16/2020] [Accepted: 09/07/2020] [Indexed: 01/15/2023] Open
Abstract
Objective: The endoscopic transsphenoidal pituitary surgery has gained popularity and has shown excellent results with a more comfortable postoperative course. However, the quality of the early postoperative course is not well-established in endoscopic transsphenoidal pituitary surgery. We hypothesized that the quality of the early postoperative course would be improved when an enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) protocol and minimally invasive endoscopic transsphenoidal pituitary surgery is implemented. Methods: We implemented a perioperative management ERAS protocol for endoscopic transsphenoidal pituitary surgery by an experienced surgeon (Yuehui Ma) in our department from January 2018. From then the endoscopic transsphenoidal pituitary surgery was implemented with a minimally invasive technique, such as bony sella reconstruction and partial nasal packing. We compared the results of 78 endoscopic transsphenoidal pituitary surgery cases during the initiation of the ERAS protocol and minimally invasive technique implementation: 37 cases in the control group and 41 cases in the ERAS group. Outcomes assessed included the effectiveness and security of surgery, postoperative hospital length of stay (LOS), and postoperative status on postoperative day 1 (POD1). Results: Postoperative status on POD1, such as nasal ventilation, out of bed, headache score, and liquid supplement, had significant improvement (P < 0.05). The median postoperative LOS decreased from 8 days in the control group to 3 days in the ERAS group (P < 0.05). The ERAS group had better economic benefit with fewer hospital charges (P < 0.05). There was no difference in the early postoperative diabetes insipidus and 30-day readmission for epistaxis, hyponatremia, or other complications between the two groups. Conclusion: The quality of the early postoperative course was improved when a neurosurgical ERAS protocol and minimally invasive endoscopic transsphenoidal pituitary surgery with partially nasal packing were implemented. Endoscopic transsphenoidal pituitary day surgery could be recommended in some classes of patients though further evaluation in large case studies is warranted.

World Neurosurg 2020; 146:e865-e875. [PMID: 33197633 DOI: 10.1016/j.wneu.2020.11.033] [Citation(s) in RCA: 12] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/15/2020] [Revised: 11/05/2020] [Accepted: 11/06/2020] [Indexed: 12/18/2022]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE The clinical impact and optimal method of assessing nutritional status (NS) have not been rigorously examined in glioblastoma. We investigated the relationship between NS and postoperative survival (PS) in glioblastoma using 4 nutritional indices and identified which index best modeled PS. METHODS NS was retrospectively assessed for patients with glioblastoma undergoing surgery at our institution from 2007 to 2019 using the albumin level, albumin/globulin ratio (AGR), nutritional risk index (NRI), and prognostic nutritional index (PNI). Optimal cut points for each index were identified using maximally selected rank statistics and previously established criteria. The predictive value of each index on PS was determined using Cox proportional hazards models adjusted for prognostic variables. The best-performing model was identified using the Akaike Information Criterion. RESULTS Our analysis included 242 patients (64% male) with a mean age of 57.6 years, Karnofsky Performance Status of 77.6, 5-factor modified frailty index of 0.59, albumin level of 4.2 g/dL, AGR of 1.9, NRI of 105.6, and PNI of 47.4. Median PS after index and repeat surgery was 12.7 and 7.8 months, respectively. On multivariable analysis, low albumin level (hazard ratio [HR], 2.09; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.52-2.89; P < 0.001), mild NRI (HR, 1.61; 95% CI, 1.04-2.49; P = 0.032), moderate/severe NRI (HR, 2.51; 95% CI, 1.64-3.85; P < 0.001), and low PNI (HR, 2.51; 95% CI, 1.78-3.53; P < 0.001), but not low AGR (HR, 1.17; 95% CI, 0.89-1.54; P = 0.270), predicted decreased PS. PNI had the lowest Akaike Information Criterion. CONCLUSIONS NS predicts PS in glioblastoma. PNI may provide the best model for assessing NS. NS is an important modifiable aspect of brain tumor management that warrants increased attention.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW The aim of this review is to give an overview of recently published articles covering preoperative carbohydrate loading in surgical patients. RECENT FINDINGS Between January 1, 2017, and December 31, 2019, 26 publications addressing the effect of carbohydrate load were retrieved through a systematic search. Seventeen were randomized clinical trials, three prospective observational studies and six retrospective series with case-control comparison. Most of the studies were underpowered, addressed surrogate endpoints, and variability among dose and timing of carbohydrate (CHO) treatment was high. The most recent literature endorses preoperative carbohydrate loading up to 2 h before operations as a safe treatment. The new evidence confirm that this strategy is effective in reducing perioperative insulin resistance and the proportion of hyperglycemia episodes, and improving patient well-being and comfort but without affecting surgery-related morbidity. SUMMARY Further properly designed randomized clinical trials, addressing more clinically relevant endpoints such as length of hospitalization and morbidity rate, are warrant.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION A novel neurosurgical enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) program shortens postoperative hospital stay and accelerates functional recovery in elective craniotomy patients. There is a need to evaluate the impact of ERAS program on patients' health-related quality of life (HRQOL). METHODS In a single-center randomized controlled trial, patients were randomized 1:1 to receive perioperative ERAS or conventional care. As a secondary outcome, HRQOL was measured with the EORTC QLQ-C30/BN20 prior to randomization (baseline), at discharge, and at 3- and 6-month follow-up. RESULTS A total of 65 patients (ERAS: n = 36, conventional care: n = 29) with pathologically confirmed glioma (WHO grade 2-4) were included in the analysis. Progression-free survival at 6 months and HRQOL at baseline were similar between the two groups. Changes of scores did not vary significantly over time, but differed significantly between intervention groups. A clinically relevant better QoL (at 3-month follow-up), physical functioning (at 6-month follow-up) and role functioning (at discharge) was observed in patients in the ERAS group. Symptom scores of constipation (at discharge), motor dysfunction (at discharge, 3- and 6-month follow-up), drowsiness (at 3- and 6-month follow-up), weakness of legs (at 3-month follow-up), and nausea/vomiting (at discharge and 6-month follow-up) were significantly lower in the ERAS group. CONCLUSIONS The neurosurgical ERAS program seems to improve functioning and symptoms scores in glioma patients within 6-month follow-up compared with conventional care. The intervention has a significant main effect HRQOL changes without significant interaction with time. Future well-powered multicenter studies are warranted to confirm this result and address long-term benefits. This study has been registered in the Chinese Clinical Trial Registry ( http://www.chictr.org.cn/showproj.aspx?proj=16480 ) with registration number ChiCTR-INR-16009662.

Abstract
Objective: To prospectively evaluate the efficacy of a neurosurgical enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) protocol on the management of postoperative pain after elective craniotomies. Methods: This randomized controlled trial was conducted in the neurosurgical center of Tangdu Hospital (Fourth Military Medical University, Xi'an, China). A total of 129 patients undergoing craniotomies between October 2016 and July 2017 were enrolled in a randomized clinical trial comparing an ERAS protocol to a conventional postoperative care regimen. The primary outcome was the postoperative pain score assessed by a verbal numerical rating scale (NRS). Results: Patients in the ERAS group had a significant reduction in their postoperative pain scores on POD 1 compared to patients in the control group (p < 0.05). More patients (n = 44, 68.8%) in the ERAS group experienced mild pain (NRS: 1 to 3) on POD1 compared with patients (n = 23, 35.4%) in the control group (p < 0.05). A further reduction in pain scores was also observed on POD 2 and maintained on POD 3 in the ERAS group compared with that in the control group. In addition, the median postoperative length of hospital stay was significantly decreased with the incorporation of the ERAS protocol compared to controls (ERAS: 4 days, control: 7 days, P<0.001). Conclusion: The implementation of a neurosurgical ERAS protocol for elective craniotomy patients has significant benefits in alleviating postoperative pain and enhancing recovery leading to early discharge after surgery compared to conventional care. Further evaluation of this protocol in larger, multi-center studies is warranted.

Abstract
Preoperative carbohydrate loading is a contemporary element of the enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) paradigm. In addition to intraoperative surgical and anesthetic modifications and postoperative care practices, preoperative optimization is essential to good postsurgical outcomes. What was long held as dogma, a period of prolonged fasting prior to the administration of anesthesia, was later re-examined and challenged. Along with the proposed physiologic effects of decreasing the surgical stress response and insulin resistance, preoperative carbohydrate loading was also demonstrated to improve patient satisfaction and well-being, without an increase in perioperative complications. The benefits are most strongly observed in abdominal and cardiac surgery patients, but there has also been data which support its use in other specialties and surgeries. Barriers to the adoption of perioperative carbohydrate loading are few, but importantly include overcoming the inertia to modify older and more restrictive fasting guidelines and achieving the multidisciplinary consensus necessary to implement such changes. Despite these challenges, and with an existing body of evidence supporting its benefits, preoperative carbohydrate loading presents a significant contribution to the ERAS programs.
