About this study

Official title: Impact of a Routine of Pre-surgical Walk for Non Cardiac Adult Patients Compared to Conventional Intervention (Not Recommended Exercise) in Reducing the Length of Hospital Stay and the Time of Onset of Ambulation.

Primary Determine the impact of prescribing a routine pre-surgical walk scheduled compared to conventional intervention (not recommended exercise) in reducing the length of hospital stay and the time of onset of ambulation during postoperative hospitalization, in patients with ability to move, ≥30 years who will undergo non-cardiac surgery.

Secondary

  1. Evaluate ischemic cardiovascular events (AMI), stroke (CVA) and cardiac mortality during hospitalization.
  2. Evaluate the incidence of falls during hospitalization.

Methodology The PAMP project phase II, as a component of CARDIECOL program will be implemented by designing a pilot study, a randomized controlled trial. Adult-patients with greater than or equal to 30 years old entering elective non-cardiac surgery, prior informed consent will be randomized to an intervention prescribed of walking in the period of 2-3 weeks before surgery or will be assigned to a Control group/conventional care. The study was not blinded to patients, but evaluation and analysis of the data will be blinded for researchers and statisticians. Patients will be evaluated on their previous level of physical activity and will be evaluated by a physiatrist doctor for prescribing the walk (exercise). This study will include a sample of 500 patients, with capacity to mobilize, ability to walk at least 30 min/by day (150 min by week) for at least 1 week before surgery. Patients have to be hospitalized for at least 24 hours after the surgical procedure. Outcomes are length of stay, and time to first walk. Other results are evaluation falls during hospitalization and the presence of falls, report of cardiovascular events, and death by group.

Expected results

Read the detailed description

Randomization was planned to be performed one to five weeks before non-cardiac surgery for all eligible patients, once they have decided to participate in the study. It was performed on a random computed to an intervention group (Walk prescription); or conventional care group (no exercise) in a 2:1 relation respectively. Intervention and Management Processes The pre surgical intervention walk routine is defined of at least 150-300 minutes of walk before going into surgery.

Analysis will be following the principle of intention to treat. A description of categorical and quantitative demographic data will be performed. Evaluation will also include the mean difference in the length of hospital stay for each of the groups and standard deviation, given a confidence interval of 95%. An analysis of the time of occurrence of the first walk using the Kaplan-Meier estimator will be performed.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Walk prescriptionBehavioural

    Also called prehabilitation

    30-40 minutes daily, for five days at the week, all weeks up to surgery.

  • Conventional careOther

    Patient do not walk before surgery

What does the primary outcome measure?

Length of stay (time frame: Up 40 weeks in hospitalization). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT03213496, which also lists 4 linked publications.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?
