About this study

Official title: Effectiveness of Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) on Postoperative Recovery After Laparoscopic Distal Gastrectomy: An Open-labeled Randomized Controlled Study

This prospective, randomized, open-labeled study is designed to evaluate the impact of enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) protocol on postoperative quality of recovery in patients undergoing laparoscopic distal gastrectomy. We hypothesize that our ERAS protocol can significantly improve the postoperative quality of recovery in patients with laparoscopic distal gastrectomy.

Read the detailed description

Adult patients undergoing elective laparoscopic distal gastrectomy are randomly allocated to receive the ERAS protocol (n=49) or conventional protocol (n=49). The conventional groups receive our current perioperative management. The ERAS groups receive our new ERAS protocol including preoperative carbohydrate loading, shortening of perioperative fasting time, and multimodal opioid-sparing analgesia. The primary outcome measure was the postoperative quality of recovery evaluated using the Korean version of Quality of recovery-15 at 24, 48, and 72 hours postoperatively. The secondary outcome measures were pain intensity at rest and during coughing evaluated using an 11-point numeric rating scale at 24, 48, and 72 hours postoperatively, gastrointestinal dysfunction evaluated using the I-FEED score at 24, 48, and 72 hours postoperatively, the occurrence of postoperative nausea and vomiting during the first postoperative 24 hours, postoperative 24 to 48 hour period, and postoperative 48 to 72 hour period, the occurrence of major postoperative complications according to the Clavien-Dindo classification during hospitalization, and length of hospital stay.

What participants receive

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

  • ERAS protocolProcedure or surgery

    The ERAS protocol involves a pre-admission patient education using audiovisual videos, the reduction of perioperative fasting time with administration of preoperative carbohydrate loading and early resumption of oral feeding after surgery, multimodal postoperative nausea and vomiting prevention, early removal of the nasogastric tube and urinary catheter, and multimodal analgesia to minimize opioid consumption after surgery.

What is being measured

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

  1. Change of the Quality of recovery-15 during the first 72 hours after surgery

    Korean version of Quality of recovery-15 questionnaire (0-150): 0, "very poor recovery"; 150, "excellent recovery"

    Measured: postoperative 24, 48, and 72 hours

Secondary outcomes (5)
  1. Postoperative pain score

    11-pointed NRS pain score at resting/coughing NRS (0-10): 0,"no pain"; 10, "worst pain imaginable"

    Measured: postoperative 24, 48, and 72 hours

  2. Total fentanyl consumption

    postoperative fentanyl consumption (mcg) via IV patient controlled analgesia

    Measured: From the end of surgery to 24, 48, and 72 hours postoperatively

  3. Postoperative nausea and vomiting

    Incidence of postoperative nausea and vomiting (%)

    Measured: From the end of surgery to 24, 48, and 72 hours postoperatively

  4. Postoperative gastrointestinal dysfunction

    I-FEED score 3 points or more (postoperative gastrointestinal intolerance and dysfunction)

    Measured: postoperative 24, 48, and 72 hours

  5. Recovery time

    Postoperative time satisfying the following four criteria: (1) tolerance of soft blended diet (SBD) for 24 h; (2) safe ambulation of 600 m without assistance; (3) Adequate pain control (NRS ≤ 3) with oral non opioid analgesics; and (4) No abnormal physical findings or laboratory test

    Measured: Evaluate every hour starting from 9A on the postoperative day 3 up to discharge

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing ERAS protocol in people with Enhanced Recovery After Surgery, run by Seoul National University 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 4 inclusion and 5 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 1 Jan 2025. 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?

Change of the Quality of recovery-15 during the first 72 hours after surgery (time frame: postoperative 24, 48, and 72 hours). 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 1 Jan 2025.
