Does an enhanced recovery programme reduce length of stay and time to stoma independence in elective patients undergoing colonic surgery with a stoma?
Absolute Event Rate: 7% vs 20%
An enhanced recovery programme significantly reduces hospital length of stay and accelerates stoma independence in patients undergoing elective colonic surgery.
Bryan et al. (2010) conducted an observational in Elective colonic surgery with a stoma (n=80). Enhanced recovery programme vs. Traditional care (before programme implementation) was evaluated on Mean length of stay. An enhanced recovery programme for patients undergoing colonic surgery with a stoma reduced the mean length of stay from 20 to 7 days compared to traditional care.
