Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) in Coronary Artery Bypass Graft / Off Pump Coronary Artery Bypass (CABG/OPCAB)

Conditions
Coronary Stenosis
Coronary Artery Disease
Interventions
Behavioral: Premedication visit
Drug: Preoperative period
Other: Postoperative period
Drug: Intraoperative period
Registration Number
NCT03956420
Lead Sponsor
Silesian University of Medicine
Brief Summary

It has been assumed that some elements of the ERAS protocol may contribute to the reduction of complications and improve the satisfaction of patients undergoing coronary artery bypass surgery.

Elements of the ERAS strategy will be tested in this study. The elements that prove to be feasible and have a positive effect on the treatment process will be introduced into everyday clinical practice.

In the next stage of the research, we are planning to investigate whether the introduction of the ERAS strategy has had a long-term positive effect on the quality of life after treatment (a survey 1 month and 6 months after leaving the hospital).

Detailed Description

Evaluation of the impact of implemented elements of the ERAS strategy on the results of surgical treatment of coronary artery disease in the aspect of:

* preoperative preparation (comprehensive information, premedication, hydration),

* haemodynamic stability (discontinuation of angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors and angiotensin II receptor blockers immediately before surgery), optimal pre- and intraoperative fluid therapy,

* occurrence of respiratory complications (assessment of the duration of mechanical ventilation and passive oxygen therapy),

* demand for painkillers in the postoperative period, after introducing the preemptive strategy,

* incidence of postoperative delirium,

* time to recovery of the normal bowel function (nausea, vomiting),

* possibility of early mobilisation on the first day after surgery,

* patient's satisfaction with treatment assessed on the basis of a survey carried out on the day before leaving the hospital.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
ERAS bundle compliance in the first 72 hours post-op72 hours post operation

Number of interventions for the ERAS protocol that are delivered to patient (numeric data e.g. 5 out of 10)

Shorter Length Of Hospitalization (LOH)up to 4 weeks after operation

Total amount of days spent in hospital

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Time to drink0-72 hours

Time until patient first drinks post extubation (in hours)

Time to eating0-72 hours

Time until patient first eats post extubation (in hours)

Time to bowel movementin hours after extubation, up to 1 week

Hours elapsed to event

Incidence of postoperative deliriumin hours after extubation, up to 72 hours

Delirium Screening according to Nursing Delirium Screening Scale, Each feature is scored on 0-2 based on severity, with 0=absent, 1=mild, and 2=severe.

Positive Nu-DESC is score ≥2, maximum total score is 10

Preoperative anxietyon admission to the operating unit

Assessment of patient's emotional status according to Anxiety Likert Scale (consisted of five evenly spaced numbers each anchored to a level of anxiety: 1="not at all anxious," 2="a little anxious," 3="moderately anxious," 4="very anxious," 5="extremely anxious)

Time to extubation0 -72 hours

Time taken until patient extubated post operation (in hours)

Assessment of postoperative pain0-24 hours

Pain scores at 6hours, Numeric scale 0 (no pain) - 10 (severe pain)

Incidence of postoperative nausea and vomitingAt moment 0, 3, 6, 12 and 24 hours after extubation

To calculate the PONV Impact Scale score, add the numerical responses to questions 1 and 2. A PONV Impact Scale score of ≥5 defines clinically important PONV (Q1. Have you vomited: 0. No

1. Once

2. Twice

3. Three or more times Q2. Have you experienced a feeling of nausea :0. Not at all

1. Sometimes 2. Often or most of the time 3. All of the time)

Postoperative complicationsup to 2 weeks after surgery

Rate measurement

Time to mobilisation0-72 hours

First mobilisation with nurse/physiotherapist post-op (in hours)
