ERAS® Guidelines Validation of CRS With or Without HIPEC

Conditions
Peritoneal Diseases
Interventions
Other: Pre-ERAS® phase (current clinical practice)
Other: Post-ERAS® implementation phase
Registration Number
NCT05185791
Lead Sponsor
Hospices Civils de Lyon
Brief Summary

Enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS®) pathways have been shown to considerably reduce complications, length of stay and costs after most of surgical procedures by standardised application of best evidence-based perioperative care. Recently an international panel of expert have succeeded to elaborate dedicated recommendations for cytoreductive surgery (CRS) ± hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) in a two-part series of guidelines based on expert consensus (Hübner et al., EJSO, 2020). The aim of this prospective validation study was therefore to study acceptance, feasibility and clinical results of these guidelines in clinical practice.

Hypothesis of the study: Introduction of ERAS® guidelines is feasible and safe. Increasing compliance with ERAS® guidelines (after implementation) will improve recovery and early clinical outcomes of patients undergoing CRS/HIPEC.

Detailed Description

The study includes two succesive phases interrupted by a stage to implement ERAS® guidelines.

Arm && Interventions
GroupInterventionDescription
Pre-ERAS® implementation phasePre-ERAS® phase (current clinical practice)* Current clinical practice * Current perioperative management * All consecutive patients included for CRS+-HIPEC treatment * Period of inclusion : 3 months (01.10.2021 - 31.12.2021) * Survey of intended changes in clinical practice will be sent to each leader center No specific intervention. Only descriptive recordings of pre-intra-post-operative clinical endpoints ("ERAS® core items") and demographic parameters. Clinical and surgical outcomes will be recorded until 30 postoperative days (POD). Functional recovery parameters will be recorded for the first 5 POD
Post-ERAS® implementation phasePost-ERAS® implementation phase* After implementation 2 months of delay before starting the recordings * Clinical practice and perioperative management with new practice according guidelines and local commitment for the new change * All consecutive patients included for CRS±HIPEC treatment * Period of inclusion : 3 months (01.03.2022 - 31.05.2022) * Max 2 months of delay allowed between the two phases Intervention will take place during an implementation period of 2 months. This period will let the centers to set the newly implemented clinical practices. After that, the remaining 3 months of the study will consist in descriptive recordings of pre-intra and post-operative clinical endpoints and demographic parameters ("ERAS® core items"). Clinical and surgical outcomes will be recorded until 30 postoperative days (POD). Functional recovery parameters will be recorded for the first 5 POD.
