Summary

ABSTRACT BACKGROUND: Enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) protocols have been widely studied in elective abdominal surgeries and have shown better outcomes. However the utility of these protocols in emergency abdominal surgeries has not been widely investigated.

OBJECTIVE: To study the outcomes of application of ERAS protocols in patients undergoing perforated duodenal ulcers repairs in emergency abdominal surgeries.

METHODS: This randomized controlled trial was conducted in Surgical Unit 1 BBH from August 2018 to December 2019 with a total sample size of 36 patients with the diagnosis of perforated duodenal ulcer. Patients were randomly divided in two groups. Group A consisted of early oral feeding group and group B consisted of traditional postoperative care group. Outcome results studied were the length of hospital stay, duodenal repair site leak, severity of pain (VAS score) and duration of post-operative ileus. Results were analysed on SPSS version 20 and chi-square and independent t-test were applied.

Early oral feeding/Enhanced recovery after surgery protocols

Early oral feeding refers to NG tube and foley's catheter removed within 12 hours and patients allowed oral sips on day 1 with gradual shift to liquid diet after 12 hrs and semisolid food started after 24 hours later.Patients were given i/v antibiotics,painkillers and i/v PPIs and shifted to oral pain killers on 2nd POD.
