About this study

Official title: Enhanced Recovery After Bariatric Surgery(ERAS) in the Morbidly Obese Using Evidence-Based Clinical Pathways: A Prospective Observational Non-randomized Comparative Study

Recently, the number of bariatric surgery is increasing but ERAS (Enhanced Recovery After Surgery) protocol for bariatric surgery needs revision with evidence. So we investigated usefulness of ERAS protocol for bariatric surgery in morbidly obese patients.

Read the detailed description

Patients undergoing elective laparoscopic bariatric surgery are going to be recruited and divided into 2 groups: Group E will receive ERAS protocol, and Group C will receive standard perioperative care.

ERAS protocol comprises 8 hours of fasting and ingestion of oral carbohydrate 2 hour before surgery, TIVA(Total intra-venous anesthesia), TAP(transversus abdominis plane) block and IV-PCA using NSAIDs after surgery, and resumption of oral intake 2 hour after surgery.

Conventional anesthesia is composed of 8 hours of fasting, inhalation anesthesia, IV-PCA using NSAIDs, and resumption oral intake 6 hour after surgery.

In both groups, gastric ultrasonography will be used to measure gastric volume before surgery.

Functional hospital stay will be recorded from the end of surgery until all discharge criteria had been met. Pain scores will be recorded at 30 minutes, 4 hours, and 24 hours after surgery. Also, nausea and vomiting, time to ambulation, will be documented. After the patients are discharged, their charts are going to be reviewed and their medical expenses will be documented.

    Measured: 30 minutes, 4 hours, and 24 hours after end of surgery

  2. Rescue drug and dosage

    Rescue drug and dosage for additional analgesia

    Measured: 30 minutes, 4 hours, and 24 hours after end of surgery

  3. Postoperative nausea and vomiting

    The presence or absence of postoperative nausea and vomiting

    Measured: until patient discharge (an average of 3 days)

  4. Time to ambulation

    Time to ambulation after surgery

    Measured: Time to ambulation (an average of 1 day)

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of ERAS and Obesity, run by Seoul National University Bundang Hospital at 1 site in South Korea.

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 3 inclusion and 2 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 16 Jan 2024. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in South Korea. 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?

Functional hospital stay (time frame: from end of surgery, until all discharge criteria had been met (an average of 3 days)). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
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 16 Jan 2024.
