ObjectiveTo investigate the safety and effectiveness of enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) in perioperative period of colorectal cancer and the influence on postoperative nutritional status and immune.
Methods A total of 61 patients with colorectal cancer from August 2015 to January 2017 were randomly divided into two groups. Thirty-one cases in fasttrack (FT) group were given perioperative management of ERAS and 30 cases in routine control (CT) group were given the conventional treatment. The albumin, prealbumin, transferrin, IgG, IgA, IgM, C-reactive protein, peripheral blood glucose, postoperative initial anal exhaust time, length of hospital stay, hospitalization cost and postoperative complications were compared between the two groups. Results A total of 54 patients completed the experiment, with 27 patients in each group. Compared with CT group, the albumin, transferrin and IgG were significantly higher in FT group at 1, 3 and 5 days after surgery(P<0.05). The postoperative initial anal exhaust time and the length of hospital stay was shorter in FT group compared with CT group (P<0.05). The hospitalization costs of FT group and CT group was (20.3±1.2) and (27.6±0.9) thousand yuan, respectively (P<0.05). There was no significant difference in Creactive protein, peripheral blood glucose, IgA, IgM and post-operative complications between the two groups (P>0.05). Conclusion ERAS is safe and effective for patients with colorectal cancer, and it has positive effect on postoperative nutritional status and immune of patients.
