Clinical Trial Summary

This study compares 2 different ways of perioperative management in patients of peptic perforation. Experimental arm is the ERAS arm( Enhanced recovery after surgery) and the comparative arm is Conventional arm.

Description:

While the conventional approach to perioperative management can potentially prolong the post operative hospital stay, ERAS(Enhanced recovery after surgery), a multi-modal and multispeciality approach to perioperative management may reduce the length of hospital stay. In the preoperative period, patients will be counselled regarding the operative procedure and particulars of the perioperative management.In the intra-operative period short acting general anesthetic agents and short acting muscle relaxants will be used.Intravenous fluid administration will be goal directed. After the operative procedure, bilateral rectus sheath block will be administered. Patient will also receive post-operative nausea and vomiting prophylaxis. Nasogastric tube will be removed immediately after the operative procedure. In the post operative period, patients will be encouraged to ambulate early. Enteral nutrition will be initiated as early as possible. Indwelling catheters will be removed in the early post-operative procedure.

Intervention

Combination Product:
• Enhanced Recovery after Surgery group
Tracheal intubation and with General anesthesia Short acting anesthetic agents,avoid opioid agents Omental patch repair with placement of sub hepatic drain Bilateral Transverse abdominis plane block/ Rectus sheath block immediately after surgery. Post operative nausea and vomiting prophylaxis. Encourage to mobilize out of bed after effect of general anesthesia has weaned off. 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. Sub hepatic drain removal -anytime within 24 hours;drain will not be removed if fluid is bilious or pus. Avoid opiod analgesics.
• Conventional
Tracheal intubation Short acting anesthetic agents, avoid opiod anesthesia agents. Omental patch repair along with sub hepatic drain placement. Post operative nausea and vomiting prophylaxis. Ambulation-as per patients' own request. Initiation of oral feed- after passage of 1st flatus. Nasogastric tube removal-output <300ml/day with resolution of ileus. Removal of urinary catheter- when patient sits on bed side/ambulate. Removal of sub hepatic drain-when patient tolerates unrestricted amount of liquid diet and drain output is less than 200 ml /day. Patient will receive opiod analgesics.

Outcome

Type	Measure	Description	Time frame	Safety issue
Other	Quality of life scoring and assessment	Quality of life assessment will be done using EQ-5D-5L questionnaire (Euroqol 5 dimensions and 5 levels). It has 2 components, descriptive and objective. Descriptive component comprises of 5 dimensions which are mobility, self care, usual activities, pain/discomfort and anxiety/depression. Each dimension has 5 levels, namely no problem, slight problems, moderate problems, severe problems and extreme problems. Objective component is also called Euroqol visual analog scale. Score ranges from zero to hundred.The endpoints are labelled as 'the best health participant can imagine' and 'the worst health participant can imagine'. It will be assessed on the day of discharge, follow up at one month and follow up at third month in the post operative period.	Post operative period - at day of discharge, at one month follow up and at third month follow up.
Other	Intra-abdominal collection	Ultrasonography abdomen will be done at one month to look for any intra-abdominal collection and if any collection is found, will be repeated at third month follow up.	Post operative period-at one month and at third month in post operative period.
Other	Hematological parameter	Total leukocyte count will be measured at follow up at one month.If the value is more than 11,000 cells/mm cube or less than 4000 cells/mm cube, then it will be measured again at third month of follow up.	Post-operative period up-at one month and at third month.
Primary	Length of hospital stay	Duration from the time of operation to time of discharge	Post operative period up-to one month.
Secondary	Recovery of functional parameters	Time of withdrawal of nasogastric tube (hours); Time to first bowel sound (hours); Time to first flatus (hours); Time to first stool (hours); Time to removal of drain(hours); Time to first fluid diet (hours); Time to first solid diet (hours); Time to stoppage of IV fluids(hours); Time of removal of urinary catheter (hours); Time to ambulation(hours)	Post operative period up-to one month.
Secondary	Post operative complications	Anastomotic leakage; Pneumonia; Ileus; Obstruction; Wound infection; Abdominal sepsis; Burst Abdomen; Need for reinsertion of nasogastric tube; Need for reinsertion of urinary catheter; Need for drainage of abdominal collection; Readmission; Re operation; Mortality	Post operative period up-to three months.
