简要总结
Specific Aim: To assess the quality of recovery of patients following early discharge (18 hrs) after pedicled TRAM flap breast reconstruction. Quality of recovery will be assessed using a 27-item validated questionnaire, QoR-27 at discharge, and on Post Operative Days (POD) 2, 4 and 7. In addition a 100 mm Visual Analog Score (VAS) for Pain will be completed on discharge from the recovery room, discharge from hospital and on POD 2, 4 and 7.
Clinical Relevance: Postoperative recovery is a complex process related to various outcomes such as physiological endpoints, incidence of adverse events and change in psychological status. Previous studies of recovery after surgery and anesthesia have focused primarily on the physiological endpoints and the incidence of adverse events. Much of the work has occurred in specialties dealing with chronic disease states such as cancer, rheumatology and musculoskeletal disorders. There is clearly a need to focus on recovery outcome measures in the ambulatory population for postoperative recovery. Here the investigators propose to measure postoperative recovery outcomes within the first week following a TRAM flap reconstructive procedure using a validated postoperative quality of recovery instrument (QoR-27) and a 100 mm VAS for pain.
详细描述
Women's College Hospital is the first and only independent ambulatory care hospital in Ontario, and the only hospital in Ontario with a primary focus on women's health. Patients undergoing breast reconstruction following breast cancer at our institution are now undergoing expedited discharge at 18 hrs postoperatively. To facilitate next day discharge, a multidisciplinary group was formed to determine the best evidence for perioperative care to ensure patient safety and excellent postoperative recovery. Minimizing length of stay has obvious cost savings for hospitals, but for patients the advantages include minimizing exposure to hospital-acquired infections and an earlier return to their more familiar home environment. The need to balance the advantage of early discharge to patient complications, however, must be addressed. As other hospitals across the country face the same length of stay constraints as has been our experience, this study will provide important data on the quality of recovery of patients undergoing early discharge following breast reconstructive surgery.

结局指标
主要结局
The primary outcome measure is the quality of recovery at discharge as assessed by the QoR27
时间窗: On average 72-96 hours post operatively
The patient will be contacted by the study coordinator, 4 days following their surgery to administer the Quality of Recovery Questionnaire (QoR27)
The primary outcome measure is the quality of recovery post operatively, as assessed by the QoR27
时间窗: on average between 48-72 hours postoperatively
The patient will be contacted by the study coordinator, 2 days following their surgery to administer the Quality of Recovery Questionnaire (QoR27)
The primary outcome measure is the quality of recovery post operatively as assessed by the QoR27
时间窗: On average 7-8 days postoperatively
The patient will be contacted by the study coordinator, 7 days following their surgery to administer the Quality of Recovery Questionnaire (QoR27)
次要结局
- The secondary outcome measure is the quality of recovery as assessed by the VAS pain score(This outcome will be done at the exact same time as the measurements of Quality of Recovery listed above)
