Background: Enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) programs influence morbidity rates and length of stay after colorectal surgery (CRS), and may also impact major complications and anastomotic leakage rates. A prospective multicenter observational study to investigate the interactions between ERAS program adherence and early outcomes after elective CRS was carried out.
Methods: Prospective enrolment of patients submitted to elective CRS with anastomosis in 18 months. Adherence to 21 items of ERAS program was measured upon explicit criteria in every case. After univariate analysis, independent predictors of primary endpoints [major morbidity (MM) and anastomotic leakage (AL) rates] were identified through logistic regression analyses including all significant variables, presenting odds ratios (OR).
Results: Institutional ERAS protocol was declared by 27 out of 38 (71.0%) participating centers. Median overall adherence to ERAS program items was 71.4%. Among 3830 patients included in the study, MM and AL rates were 4.7% and 4.2%, respectively. MM rates were independently influenced by intra- and/or postoperative blood transfusions (OR 7.79, 95% CI 5.46-11.10; p < 0.0001) and standard anesthesia protocol (OR 0.68, 95% CI 0.48-0.96; p = 0.028). AL rates were independently influenced by male gender (OR 1.48, 95% CI 1.06-2.07; p = 0.021), intra- and/or postoperative blood transfusions (OR 4.29, 95% CI 2.93-6.50; p < 0.0001) and non-standard resections (OR 1.49, 95% CI 1.01-2.22; p = 0.049).
Conclusions: This study disclosed wide room for improvement in compliance to several ERAS program items. It failed to detect any significant association between institutionalization and/or adherence rates to ERAS program with primary endpoints. These outcomes were independently influenced by gender, intra- and postoperative blood transfusions, non-standard resections, and standard anesthesia protocol.

Effectiveness of Relactation Supportive Program in Sustaining Exclusive Breastfeeding: A Prospective Observational Study.
Cureus
December 2024
Department of Pediatrics, Maharaja Suheldev Autonomous State Medical College, Bahraich, IND.
Introduction: Relactation is the process of re-establishing breastfeeding after stopping or after a period of little breastfeeding. The study aimed to assess the Relactation Supportive Program (RSP)'s efficacy in sustaining breastfeeding and to determine the impact of RSP on breastfeeding initiation, timing, and correlation with the lactation gap.
Methods: A prospective observational study was done with 60 infant-mother dyads, aged seven days to 14 weeks who stopped breastfeeding for 6-28 days or never breastfed.
Trends in the Hospital Care of Neonates With Hypoplastic Left Heart Syndrome in the United States.
Ann Thorac Surg Short Rep
March 2023
The Heart Institute, Cincinnati Children's Hospital Medical Center, University of Cincinnati College of Medicine, Cincinnati, Ohio.
Background: Surgical outcomes of first-stage palliation for hypoplastic left heart syndrome (HLHS) are vastly improved from prior eras and are well described, but rates and determinants of nonsurgical management are understudied, particularly on the national scale.
Methods: The Pediatric Health Information System database was used to identify all index neonatal HLHS admissions between 2015 and 2021 in the United States. Surgical palliation included cardiac surgery and transplantation during the index admission.
Multidisciplinary management of early esophageal fistula after anterior cervical spine surgery: a case report emphasizing team-based care.
Wound Manag Prev
December 2024
The First Affiliated Hospital, Unit of Nurses, Zhejiang University School of Medicine, Hangzhou, China.
Background: Early esophageal fistula formation following anterior cervical spine surgery presents a formidable clinical challenge, necessitating astute rehabilitative nursing management. Such fistulas, if not promptly and effectively managed, can precipitate grave complications including mediastinitis, sepsis, respiratory failure, and, in severe instances, mortality. This underscores the critical need for immediate, comprehensive nursing interventions designed to mitigate these risks and enhance patient outcomes.

December 2024
Department of Cardiac Surgery, Hôpitaux Universitaires de Strasbourg, Nouvel Hôpital Civil, Strasbourg, France.
Objective: This study investigated the efficacy of a multimodal analgesia (MMA) with an opioid-sparing strategy, incorporating a parasternal plane block (PPB) within a systematic standardized Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) program for patients undergoing elective cardiac surgery.
Methods: From 2015 to 2021, 3153 patients underwent elective coronary artery bypass grafting and/or valve procedures. Patients were dichotomized by the presence or absence of an ERAS program including a perioperative MMA with an opioid-sparing approach and PPB protocols.
Significant reduction in blood product usage, same early outcomes: Blood conservation in infants undergoing open heart surgery.
JTCVS Open
December 2024
Division of Cardiac Surgery, Seattle Children's Hospital, Seattle, Wash.
Objective: To evaluate the effect of a blood conservation program on trends in use of donor blood products and early clinical outcomes in infants undergoing open heart surgery.
Methods: Four hundred nine patients younger than age 1 year undergoing open-heart surgery between October 1, 2020, and June 30, 2023, were reviewed. The study period was divided into 4 eras with the first era as a before blood conservation baseline using traditional blood management.
