Colon Perforation Clinical Trial

Official title: Feasibility and Effects of an Enhanced Recovery vs Conventional Care After Emergency Colon Surgery for Patients With Left Colon Perforation.

Status Completed

Clinical Trial Summary

A study was designed with a prospective cohort of all patients undergoing urgent surgery for left colon perforation between March 2014 and June 2017 who were treated according to a specific ERAS programme (ERAS group/29 patients). This group was compared with a historic case-matched control group with conventional care (CC group/21 patients). The main endpoints were postoperative 30-day morbidity, length of postoperative hospital stay, rate of readmission within 30 days, and mortality. The inclusion criteria were patients over 18 years old with a low-moderate risk of mortality according to a Peritonitis Severity Score (PSS) between 6-11 points.
