Postoperative Stress Response in Patients Following Fast Track vs

Status Completed

Clinical Trial Summary

A prospective randomized clinical study, with cross-sectional comparisons and correlations was conducted from May 2012 to July 2015 with a sample of 231 patients who have undergone hepatectomy or pancreatectomy, randomized into 2 groups. In group A was applied postoperatively the protocol Fast-track, while in group B the conventional postoperative care. Demographic and clinical data were collected. In 170 patients, Neuropeptide Y (NPY), Adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH)/Cortisol plasma levels were measured by ELISA method: a) at the day of patient's admission, b) the operation day, c) the 3rd postoperative day or prior to discharge.

Clinical Trial Description

Pain levels were assessed by Puntillo scale (behavioral observation scale) which has ranges; 0-1 "no pain", 2-4 "aching" 5-7 "moderate pain" 8-10 and "severe pain".

Patient stress levels were evaluated by: a) scale I.C.U.E.S.S. which evaluated environmental stress during their stay in hospital and takes values; 40-80 "no environmental stress" 81-120 "mild to moderate environmental stress," 121-160 " Moderate to severe environmental stress ", b) three questions of self- experienced feelings (with a score of 0 = None and 10 = Completely) like "How sad you feel right now?" "How stress do you feel right now?" "How optimist do you feel right now about the future?" The data collected in three phases: a) the day of hospitalization, b) the day of surgery, and c) the third postoperative day or before discharge.

Depression levels were evaluated with Zung scale (Zung self-rating depression scale), which assesses depression levels with a score 25-49 for "normal level mood," 50-59 for "mild depression", 60-69 for "moderate depression" and 70 + for "severe depression". ;

Clinical trials are conducted in a series of steps, called phases - each phase is designed to answer a separate research question.

Phase 1: Researchers test a new drug or treatment in a small group of people for the first time to evaluate its safety, determine a safe dosage range, and identify side effects.
Phase 2: The drug or treatment is given to a larger group of people to see if it is effective and to further evaluate its safety.
Phase 3: The drug or treatment is given to large groups of people to confirm its effectiveness, monitor side effects, compare it to commonly used treatments, and collect information that will allow the drug or treatment to be used safely.
Phase 4: Studies are done after the drug or treatment has been marketed to gather information on the drug's effect in various populations and any side effects associated with long-term use.
