Perioperative nutritional support of patients with acute abdomen in enhanced recovery after surgery programme / 中华普通外科杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective To evaluate perioperative nutritional support for patients with acute abdomen in enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) programme.Methods A total of 490 patients with acute abdominal disease were collected,287 in ERAS group and 203 in conservative perioperative management (CPM) group.Biochemical and clinical markers of the 2 groups were compared.Results ERAS group had higher plasma albumin level,quicker bowel function recovery,lower postoperative complications,shorter hospital stay,and a lower WHO pain rating scale (all P ＜ 0.05).Conclusion With perioperative nutritional support,ERAS programme can accelerate recovery after emergency surgery,reduce the rate of overall complications,promote bowel function recovery,and decrease morbidity in the perioperative period for patients with acute abdominal disease.
