Preventing post-operative ileus (POI) is important given its associated morbidity and increased cost of care. The authors' prior work showed that POI in patients with newly created ileostomies is associated with a post-operative day (POD) 2 net fluid balance of > + 800 mL. The purpose of this study was to conduct an initial assessment of the efficacy of a pilot intervention.
This is a single-institution, pre-post-intervention, proof-of-concept study conducted on the Colorectal Surgery service at the University of California, San Francisco. The study included 58 procedures with ileostomy formation by board-certified colorectal surgeons between August 13, 2020 and June 1, 2021. The intervention included three adjustments to the standard Enhanced Recovery After Surgery protocol: addition of diuresis, delay in advancement to solid food, and earlier stoma intubation. Demographics, intraoperative factors, post-operative fluid balance, and outcomes (POI, post-procedure length of stay [LOS], hospitalization cost, and re-admissions) were compared between patients pre- and post-intervention.
Eight (13.8%) of the 58 procedures in the intervention period were associated with POI vs. a baseline POI rate of 32.6% (p = 0.004). Compared to patients without intervention, those with intervention had 67% less odds of POI (OR 0.33, 95% CI 0.15-0.73, p = 0.01). This difference remained significant when adjusted for age, gender, body mass index, procedure duration, and operative approach (adjusted OR 0.32, 95% CI 0.14-0.72, p = 0.01). Average POD2 stoma output was 0.3 L greater (1.1 L vs. 0.8L; p < 0.001) and net fluid balance was 1.8 L lower (+ 0.3 L vs. + 2.1 L; p < 0.00001) for these 58 cases. Average post-procedure LOS was 1.9 days lower (5.3 vs. 7.2 days, p < 0.001) and direct cost was $5561 lower ($21,652 vs. $27,213, p = 0.004), with no difference in 30-day readmissions (p = 0.43).
This pilot intervention shows promise for reduction in POI in patients with newly created ileostomies. Additional assessment is needed to confirm these initial findings.
鉴于术后肠梗阻(POI)会带来相关发病率并增加护理成本,预防POI至关重要。作者之前的研究表明,新建回肠造口术患者的POI与术后第2天净液体平衡> +800 mL相关。本研究的目的是对一项试点干预措施的疗效进行初步评估。
这是一项在加利福尼亚大学旧金山分校结直肠外科进行的单机构、干预前后、概念验证研究。该研究纳入了2020年8月13日至2021年6月1日期间由获得委员会认证的结直肠外科医生进行的58例回肠造口术。干预措施包括对标准的术后加速康复方案进行三项调整:增加利尿、延迟固体食物摄入推进以及更早的造口插管。对干预前后患者的人口统计学、术中因素、术后液体平衡和结局(POI、术后住院时间[LOS]、住院费用和再入院情况)进行了比较。
干预期间58例手术中有8例(13.8%)与POI相关,而基线POI发生率为32.6%(p = 0.004)。与未干预的患者相比,接受干预的患者发生POI的几率低67%(OR 0.33,95% CI 0.15 - 0.73,p = 0.01)。在对年龄、性别、体重指数、手术持续时间和手术方式进行调整后,这种差异仍然显著(调整后的OR 0.32,95% CI 0.14 - 0.72,p = 0.01)。这58例患者术后第2天造口平均排出量多0.3 L(1.1 L对0.8 L;p < 0.001),净液体平衡低1.8 L(+0.3 L对+2.1 L;p < 0.00001)。术后平均住院时间短1.9天(5.3天对7.2天,p < 0.001),直接成本低5561美元(21,652美元对27,213美元,p = 0.004),30天再入院率无差异(p = 0.43)。
这项试点干预措施显示出降低新建回肠造口术患者POI的前景。需要进一步评估以证实这些初步发现。
