Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Although the ERAS program is widely used in elective procedures in many surgical subspecialties, the place of this program in emergency surgery remains uncertain probably because of the significant challenges in applying all ERAS pathways in the emergency setting. Nevertheless, the ERAS program is often modified in elective procedures on an individual and/ or institutional basis and thus may also have a role in the emergency setting albeit in a modified form.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

The cases will be randomized simply into two groups, Group (A) for conventional care and Group (B) for ERAS. Random assignment of intervention will be done after subjects have been assessed for eligibility and recruited. The sealed envelope method will be used for randomization.

Both groups will have pre-operative ryle inserted, urinary catheter applied, Tracheal intubation and with General anesthesia, exploration laparotomy Group (A) Fatsing for at least 6 hours pre-operative, No restriction of IV fluids and traditional analgesia including opiates. Post-operative Ambulation-as per patients' own request, Removal of urinary catheter when patient ambulates, patient will keep fasting for 3 days postoperative, oral fluids for 3 days, semi-solid for another 3 days and then can take full diet, removal of nasogastric tube just before starting oral fluids, drain removal just before discharge.

Group (B) Preoperative information, education and counselling, If possible, Clear fluids are allowed up to 2 h and solids up to 6 h prior to induction of anaesthesia, Short acting anesthetic agents,avoid opioid agents, Post operative nausea and vomiting prophylaxis, Patient will wear well-fitting compression stockings and receive pharmacological prophylaxis with LMWH. Encourage to mobilize out of bed after effect of general anesthesia has weaned off, Chewing gum, oral magnesium and alvimopan can be started early postoperatively, Initiation of feeding-Oral sips on day 1, step up day 2 onward, Removal of nasogastric tube-immediately after surgery after aspirating the gastric content through nasogastric tube, Removal of urinary catheter-after weaning from the effect of general anesthesia and drain removal -anytime within 24 hours;drain will not be removed if fluid is bilious or pus.
