[Structured implementation and high adherence to the ERAS program in colorectal surgery in two operating units of the ASUR Marche.].

Background: An Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) program in colorectal surgery is able to significantly reduce the morbidity rates and postoperative hospital stay (LOS) related to the intervention. However, it is not clear what modalities and levels of implementation are necessary to achieve these results. The purpose of this work is to analyze the methods and results of the first year of implementation of the program in two centers of the Agenzia Sanitaria Unica Regionale (ASUR) Marche.

ERAS pathway in colorectal surgery: structured implementation program and high adherence for improved outcomes.

Although there is clear evidence that an Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) program in colorectal surgery leads to significantly reduced morbidity rates and length of hospital stay (LOS), it is still unclear what modalities and levels of implementation of the program are necessary to achieve these results. The purpose of this study is to analyze the methods and results of the first year of structured implementation of a colorectal ERAS program in two surgical units of the Azienda Sanitaria Unica Regionale (ASUR) Marche in Italy. A two-center observational study on a prospectively maintained database was performed on 196 consecutive colorectal resections (excluding emergencies and American Society of Anesthesiologists class > III cases) over a 1-year period.

Estimated oxygen extraction versus dynamic parameters of fluid-responsiveness for perioperative hemodynamic optimization of patients undergoing non-cardiac surgery: a non-inferiority randomized controlled trial.

Background: Goal directed therapy (GDT) is able to improve mortality and reduce complications in selected high-risk patients undergoing major surgery. The aim of this study is to compare two different strategies of perioperative hemodynamic optimization: one based on optimization of preload using dynamic parameters of fluid-responsiveness and the other one based on estimated oxygen extraction rate (OER) as target of hemodynamic manipulation.

Methods: This is a multicenter randomized controlled trial.

The peritoneal dialysis catheter.

The results obtained from the positioning and management of the catheter for peritoneal dialysis depend on the techniques used, but also and above all, on the experience of the practitioners. A comparison between practitioners may help to change their convictions, as well as to further improve results, in the interests of patient welfare. This is the aim of these Best Practice Guidelines.
