Objective To investigate the impact of complete video-assisted thoracoscopic lobectomy and open lobectomy on perioperative heart rate （HR） and blood oxygen saturation （SO2） of lung cancer patients，and explore whether minimally invasive surgery can enhance postoperative recovery of lung cancer patients. Methods A total of 138 lung cancer patients were chosen from 161 consecutive patients with pulmonary diseases who were admitted to West China Hospital of Sichuan University between September 2010 and December 2011. According to different surgical approach，all the 138 lung cancer patients were divided into routine thoracotomy group （thoracotomy group，70 patients including 53 males and 17 females with their average age of 56.1±9.7 years） and complete video-assisted thoracoscopic lobectomy group （VATS group，68 patients including 46 males and 22 females with their average age of 53.4±6.5 years）. There was no statistical difference in preoperative clinical characteristics between the 2 groups. Preoperative and postoperative （1st，3rd，7th and 30th day） numeric pain rating scale （NPRS），HR and SO2 were compared between the 2 groups. Results （1） There was no statistical difference in NPRS on the 1st and 3rd postoperative day between the 2 groups （3.83±0.79 vs. 3.93±0.67， 2.88±0.59 vs. 3.03±0.71，P＞0.05），but on the 7th and 30th postoperative day，NPRS of the thoracotomy group was signi- ficantly higher than that of VAST group （1.61±0.33 vs. 1.22±0.12，1.58±0.26 vs. 1.19±0.31，P＜0.05）. （2） Postop- erative sedentary HR of both VATS group and thoracotomy group were significantly higher than preoperative levels ［（84.13±17.21） / minute vs. （73.67±10.32）/minute， （86.13 ±19.67） / minute vs. （72.24±14.21） / minute， P＜0.05］. Postoperative HR of VATS group decreased to preoperative level on the 3rd postoperative day，while postoperative HR of the thoracotomy group decreased to preoperative level on the 7th postoperative day. （3） There was no statistical difference between preoperative and postoperative （all the time points） sedentary SO2 of both VATS group and thoracotomy group （96.34 %±2.11% vs. 97.12%±2.31%，95.33%±4.13% vs. 94.93% ±4.31%，P＞0.05）.（4） The changes of HR and SO2 before and after exercise of VATS group were significantly smaller than those of the thoracotomy group on the 3rd postoperative day ［（11.11±4.81）/minute vs. （18.23±6.17）/minute，3.1%±1.2% vs. 7.4 %±2.7%，P＜0.05］ . Conclusion The impact of complete video-assisted thoracoscopic lobectomy on cardiopulmonary function is comparatively smaller，which is helpful for postoperative fast-track recovery of lung cancer patients.
ObjectiveTo explore the role of fast-track surgery (FTS) in day-case laparoscopic cholecystectomy (DLC) pain management. MethodsWe used bidirectional cohort study to investigate the patients undergoing day surgery of laparoscopic cholecystectomy admitted into our department. A total of 143 patients between April and September 2014 receiving routine pain management were chosen to be the control group, and 78 patients between October 2014 and January 2015 receiving FTS pain management were regarded as the FTS group. Postoperative pain, early ambulation, influence of pain on the sleep, patients' satisfaction and prolonged hospital stay rate were compared between the two groups. ResultsPain scores of patients in the FTS group 0-0.5, 0.5-6, 6-12, and 12-24 hours after surgery were significantly lower than those in the control group (P<0.05). The proportion of patients with early postoperative ambulation and patients' satisfaction rate in the FTS group were significantly higher than the control group (P<0.05). ConclusionThe FTS pain management model can effectively reduce patients' pain after DLC, accelerate patients' postoperative rehabilitation and increase patients' satisfaction.

Methods The clinical and basic literatures of related researches about colorectal treatment of laparoscopy and fast-track surgery were collected and reviewed. Results Compared with the traditional treatment modalities, both of fast-track surgery and laparoscopy used for the treatment of colorectal cancer have better clinical effects. Conclusions Fast-track surgery and laparoscopic techniques used for the treatment of colorectal cancer are feasible, but the combination of the two should be confirmed by further randomized controlled trials.
Objective To explore the concept, contents and existing problems of the fast-track programmes in colorectal surgery. Methods The literatures about the applied status and opinion of the modality applied in the surgical treatment of the colorectal cancer and fundament investigation in recent years were collected and reviewed. Results The fast-track programmes enhance recovery of the patients who underwent the colorectal resection with the combination of multimodal techniques and approaches. Conclusion The fast-track programmes in colorectal surgery is the typical modality of the multi-disciplinary treatment, this modality can decrease the complications and reduce the hospital stay with preserve the well physiological fundament of the patients.
Objective To evaluate the effect of perioperative period clinical care mode through fast-track (FT) under nonminimal invasive operation on the inflammatory response of colorectal cancer resection. Methods Fifty-five patients underwent elective colorectal cancer resection were randomized divided into two groups: FT group (n=29) in which patients were performed FT perioperative care and tradition group (n=26) in which patients were received traditional perioperative care. The nonminimal invasive operations were performed in this study. The venous blood samples were respectively collected at 24 h before operation, at 24 h, 72 h, and 7 d after operation, and were used to detect the concentrations of serum C-reactive protein (CRP) and serum amyloid A protein (SAA).Results There was no complication such as infection, fistula of stoma and inflammatory ileus that was potential to influence the study results in two groups, and no patient died. The trend of changes in the concentrations of CRP and SAA of patients was accordant in each group. The peak concentrations of CRP and SAA of patients in FT group were respectively observed at 24 h after operation 〔CRP: (72.36±60.94) mg/L; SAA: (328.97±267.20) mg/L〕, while which were respectively delayed to 72 h after operation in tradition group 〔CRP: (112.71±63.92) mg/L; SAA: (524.18±331.03) mg/L〕. At the same time, the concentrations of CRP and SAA in FT group began to descend 〔CRP: (57.21±30.42) mg/L; SAA: (237.43±215.66) mg/L〕. The peak concentrations of CRP and SAA in tradition group were significantly higher than that in FT group (Plt;0.001) and the concentrations of CRP and SAA in FT group were significantly lower than those in tradition group at 72 h after operation (Plt;0.001). On 7 d after operation, the concentrations of CRP and SAA further decreased, but the difference between two groups was not significant (Pgt;0.05). Likewise, the concentrations of CRP and SAA at 7 d after operation were significant higher than those 24 h and 72 h after operation (Plt;0.001), lower than that 24 h before operation (Plt;0.001), respectively. Conclusion This study demonstrates that perioperative period clinical care mode through FT under non-minimal invasive operation can reduce the inflammatory response of colorectal carcinoma resections and scientific clinical care is an important means to promote quick rehabilitation.
Objective To explore the content and scientific evidence of every element of the fast-track programmes in colorectal surgery. Methods The literatures about the applied status and opinion of the modality applied in the surgical treatment of the colorectal cancer and fundament investigation in recent years were collected and reviewed. Results The feasibility of the every fast-track’s element was based on the clinical and fundamental investigaton. Conclusion The advantage of the fast-track programmes in colorectal surgery is confirmed.
Objective To explore the impact of restrictive fluid administration for patients with colorectal cancer combined diabetes. Methods The clinical data of patients diagnosed definitely as colorectal cancer with diabetes were analyzed retrospectively from January 2007 to October 2009 in this hospital, the clinical effects on postoperative early rehabilitation were studied and the differences between restrictive fluid regimen (fluid restriction group) and tradition fluid regimen (tradition therapy group) were compared. Results The time of first aerofluxus and the first ambulation in fluid restriction group were shorter than those of tradition therapy group, the differences had statistical significances (Plt;0.05). The incidence of wound infection in fluid restriction group was lower than that in tradition therapy group (Plt;0.05). The differences of preoperative hemoglobin (Hb), white blood cell (WBC), glucose (GLU) and blood urea nitrogen (BUN) were not statistically significant between two groups, but the difference of postoperative GLU was statistically significant between two groups (Plt;0.05). Conclusion Restrictive fluid regimen can reduce the incidence of common complications after colorectal surgery for diabetic, and has a certain promoter action to the early rehabilitation after rectal surgery.
Objective To compare the short-term outcomes between laparoscopic surgery and open surgery with fast-track (FT) in patients with colorectal cancer. Methods Between February 2008 and August 2008, the clinical data of 177 patients with colorectal cancer were analyzed retrospectively, who were divided into open group (n=122) and laparoscopic group (n=55) by surgery methods. Open group was further divided into FT group (n=66) and traditional group (n=56). Early rehabilitations were studied and compared among three groups. Results ① The baseline characteristics of patients among three groups were no significant differences (Pgt;0.05) exclude operation time. ② In early rehabilitation, the first flatus of patients in both the FT group 〔(3.86±1.01) d〕 and the laparoscopic group 〔(3.78±1.10) d〕 was significantly earlier than that in the traditional group 〔(4.43±1.25) d〕, Plt;0.05. ③ The first oral intaking in the FT group 〔(2.52±1.14) d〕 was earlier than that in the traditional group 〔(3.38±1.43) d〕 and the laparoscopic group 〔(5.04±2.24) d〕, Plt;0.05, while in the traditional group was earlier than that in the laparoscopic group (Plt;0.05). ④ For drainage management, both the FT group and the traditional group were significantly earlier than those in the laparoscopic group (Plt;0.05). ⑤ For postoperative hospital stay, in the FT group 〔(8.33±1.98) d〕 was also much shorter than that in the laparoscopic group 〔(10.55±3.14) d〕 and the traditional group 〔(10.82±3.76) d〕, Plt;0.05. ⑥ For the postoperative complications, there was no significant difference among three groups (Pgt;0.05). Conclusions FT surgery and laparoscopic technique could both enhance recovery of bowel function, and FT could also shorten postoperative hospital stay. However, further studies are needed to develop a better management.
Objective To explore the value and clinical safety of low-dose dexamethasone used after operation of anastomotic colorectal resection with fast-track surgery in patients with colorectal cancer. Methods Between January 2008 and December 2009, 470 patients undergoing anastomotic colorectal resection were analyzed retrospectively, who were divided into dexamethasone group and control group according to the use of low-dose dexamethasone treatment or not after operation. Postoperative adverse effect, complications, and early rehabilitations were studied. Results There was no statistical significance in postoperative incidence of adverse effect or complications between two groups (Pgt;0.05). In early rehabilitation, first ambulation of patients in the dexamethasone group was significantly earlier than that in the control group (Plt;0.05), while there was no statistical significance in first time of passing flatus, stool, and oral intake, the retain time of nasogastric tubes, urinary catheter, and drains, and postoperative hospital stay (Pgt;0.05). Conclusion Using low-dose dexamethasone after operation anastomotic colorectal resection in patients with colorectal cancer is safe and may have potential to enhance recovery after operation.
Objective To verify the feasibility and effectiveness of the modified fast-track surgery (FTS) in the perioperative period of open liver resection. Methods A prospective randomized controlled trial was carried out in 188 consecutive patients undergoing open liver resection between March and December 2014 in the Department of Liver Surgery of West China Hospital. The modified fast recovery procedure and standard rehabilitation procedure were compared in terms of length of hospital stay after operation, hospitalization cost, complications and readmission rate. Results A total of 188 consecutive patients were enrolled in the trial. The analysis included 87 patients in the modified fast recovery group and 89 in the standard rehabilitation group. Compared with the standard rehabilitation group, the modified fast recovery group had a shorter length of hospital stay [(5.70±1.47)vs. (7.26±1.96) days] and a lower cost [(42.7±6.7)vs. (47.3±12.5) thousand yuan], and the differences were statistically significant (P<0.05). There were 20 complication cases in the modified group and 39 in the standard group with significant difference (P=0.003). There was no significant difference in the rate of readmission between the two groups (P=1.000). Compared with the standard group, patients in the modified group had less pain 8 hours, the 1st and 2nd days after surgery, better postoperative activities of daily living, more initiative cough times and off-bed activity times, longer duration of movement, and earlier bowel recovery and exhausting, and all the above differences were significantly different (P<0.05). Stepwise regression analysis showed that postoperative complications and bowel recovery and exhausting time were independent related factors for postoperative hospital stay (P<0.001). Conclusions Multimodal analgesia-based fast recovery procedure is feasible and effective in the perioperative period of partial hepatectomy. It can shorten the time of hospitalization and reduce the cost of hospitalization.
