简要总结
This multicenter open-label trial is designed to evaluate if the implementation of an enhanced peri-operative care protocol results in an optimal intraoperative condition of the patient and in a decrease in incidence of anastomotic leakage after colorectal resection as compared to current practice.
详细描述
Rationale Colorectal anastomotic leakage (CAL) remains a severe complication following surgery with a reported incidence of 3-19% worldwide. Recent research has identified several modifiable peri-operative CAL risk factors, suggesting that the intraoperative condition of the patient plays an important role in CAL development.
Objective To successfully implement an enhanced perioperative care protocol, focusing on optimizing the intraoperative condition of the patient to minimalize exposure to CAL risk factors. Secondly, to investigate whether implementation of this new guideline results in a better intraoperative condition and a decreased CAL rate as compared to current practice.
Study design An open-label multicenter design with historical cohort in nine participating hospitals.
Study population All adult patients that are scheduled for a colorectal resection with creation of a primary anastomosis.
Intervention An enhanced perioperative best practice protocol. The Double Check bundle exists out of interventions applicable without the introduction of new material to the operating room, on top of usual care. The protocol is based on the results of our previous large, multicenter, international observational cohort study (LekCheck study), systematic literature analyses, an inventory in current protocols on peri-operative care and expert opinion. Consensus is reached with colorectal surgeons from all participating centers. The final protocol was reviewed critically by experts in the field of colorectal surgery before implementation.

结局指标
主要结局
Number of modifiable intraoperative CAL risk factors present during surgery as assessed by the DoubleCheck list
时间窗: Intraoperative phase
The primary outcome of the study is the intraoperative condition of the patient measured by the number of modifiable intraoperative CAL risk factors present in the patient. During the operation, the Double Check list will be completed. The list exists of 6 risk factors of interest: * Anemia: haemoglobin level \< 7,5 (women) or \< 8.0 (men) mmol/L * Hypothermia: temperature \<36 degrees Celcius * Hyperglycemia: glucose level \>10 mmol/L * Ue of vasopressor drugs: yes * Epidural analgesia * Incorrect antibiotic prophylaxis: not administered within 15-60 minutes prior to incision The number of risk factors present will be counted and a score of 0 to 6 will be given to each individual patient.
