Does a multimodal "fast track" recovery approach improve return of intestinal function and shorten hospital stay in patients undergoing major, uncomplicated gastrointestinal surgery?
A multimodal fast-track recovery approach improves intestinal function recovery and reduces hospital stay in patients after major gastrointestinal surgery.
Investigations in the pathophysiology and treatment of postoperative ileus continue to evolve. Bowel rest is no longer a mandatory component of postoperative recovery. Tolerance of enteral nutrition and normalization of the abdominal examination are more accurate indications of the resolution of postoperative ileus than passage of flatus or first bowel movement. A multimodal "fast track" recovery approach incorporated into a clinical pathway provides a more rapid return of intestinal function and shortened hospital stay in patients undergoing major, uncomplicated gastrointestinal surgery.
Mattei et al. (Tue,) conducted a review in Postoperative ileus. Multimodal fast track recovery approach was evaluated. A multimodal fast track recovery approach provides a more rapid return of intestinal function and shortened hospital stay in patients undergoing major, uncomplicated gastrointestinal surgery.
