Trial summary

Enhanced recovery programme (ERP) includes early postoperative mobilization and ambulation the day of surgery. Data suggest that orthostatic symptoms prevent a large number of patients from ambulating the day of surgery. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Tolerance of Early Mobilization and Ambulation the Day of Colorectal and Bariatric Surgery in an Enhanced Recovery Program

Enhanced recovery programme (ERP) includes early postoperative mobilization and ambulation the day of surgery. Data suggest that orthostatic symptoms prevent a large number of patients from ambulating the day of surgery. The investigators plan to include 50 patients scheduled for colorectal surgery and bariatric surgery in an ERP. A 6-min walk test (6MWT) will be performed before surgery, 3 hour after the end of surgery, and 24 hour after surgery. The day of surgery a 2-min walk test will be realized.

Read the detailed description

Enhanced recovery programme (ERP) includes early postoperative mobilization and ambulation the day of surgery. Data suggest that orthostatic symptoms prevent a large number of patients (up to 50%) from ambulating the day of surgery.

The investigators plan to include 50 patients scheduled for colorectal surgery and bariatric surgery in an ERP.

The primary endpoint will be the ability to get out of the bed and sit in an armchair. Orthostatic symptom will be recorded. The secondary endpoint will be a 6-min walk test (6-MWT). This test will be performed before surgery, 3 hour after the end of surgery, and 24 hour after surgery. The day of surgery a 2-min walk test (2-MWT) will be realized.

Correlation of the ability to early ambulate and postoperative course (adherence to ERP, complications) will be analyzed.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Number of patients with orthostatic intolerance

    orthostatic intolerance is defined as the occurrence of one of the following symptom when the patient stands up : presyncope, dizziness, nausea-vomiting, feeling of heat and blurred vision

    Measured: 24 hour after surgery

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. 6-min walk test

    This test measures the distance covered during 6-min at normal speed

    Measured: 24 hour after surgery

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Ambulation Difficulty and Colorectal Surgery, run by University of Liege at 2 sites in Belgium.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 1 inclusion and 1 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 14 May 2020. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 2 sites in Belgium. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Number of patients with orthostatic intolerance (time frame: 24 hour after surgery). 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 NCT04040647, which also lists 3 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?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 14 May 2020.
