Prehabilitation in Pancreatic Surgery

NCT03688867 · Status: COMPLETED · Phase: NA · Type: INTERVENTIONAL · Enrollment: 40

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

The purpose of this study is to use functional studies to study the effectiveness of prehabilitation prior to surgery. The investigators know that stronger patients have better outcomes after surgery compared to weaker patients. This study will help the study team determine if prehabilitation can make patients stronger prior to surgery. It is hoped by learning more about frailty and prehabilitation strategies may be developed to minimize or prevent complications in the future. Participants are being asked to participate in this study because they are going to have a pancreatic procedure.

Conditions

  • Pancreatic Resection
  • Preoperative Frailty

Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

Prehabilitation regimen

The intervention targets individual behavior, specifically a patient's proclivity to exercise prior to pancreatic resection. The prehabilitation program is tailored to the three most commonly used objective frailty metrics currently available and will be implemented during the initial consultation visit in the surgery outpatient clinic, where patients will undergo baseline testing and then provided with a fitness tracker and stress ball. Additionally, they will be provided with an activity log to keep track of their daily activity. Shown below is the activity log.
