Acute High-risk Abdominal Surgery Study - an Optimized Perioperative Course

Not Applicable

Completed

• Conditions: Perforated Viscus; Intestinal Obstruction

• Registration Number: NCT01899885
• Lead Sponsor: Hvidovre University Hospital

Brief Summary

The objective of this study is to implement an optimized perioperative course for patients undergoing acute high-risk abdominal surgery in order to improve the outcome.

The optimized perioperative course consists of a number of interventions carried out before, during and after surgery.

Detailed Description

Emergency surgery is associated with high mortality rates, post-operative complications and prolonged duration of hospital admission. The investigators will implement a multidisciplinary optimized perioperative course consisting of a number of interventions carried out before, during and after surgery.

Hypothesis: An optimized perioperative course will reduce the 30-day mortality in emergency abdominal surgery patients.

The investigators will do a post-hoc analysis of the data registered.
