Abstract

Background:

To evaluate the feasibility and effect of implementing enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) in patients undergoing radical cystectomy (RC) and urinary diversion.

Materials And Methods:

Since October 2016, a 15-point ERAS protocol has been implemented for patients undergoing elective RC and urinary diversion at Fudan University Shanghai Cancer Center (FUSCC). We retrospectively assessed patients who underwent RC performed between January 2014 and June 2018. The effects of implanting ERAS for RC were validated.

Results:

A total of 443 patients were included. The ERAS and non-ERAS groups included 185 and 258 patients, respectively. There was no significant difference in the patients' demographic characteristics, operative variables, perioperative systemic inflammation-based scores or mortality rates. Compared with the non-ERAS group, our study showed decreases in intraoperative blood loss volumes and transfusion rates in the ERAS group. Patients in the ERAS group also had earlier times to tolerate a clean liquid diet intake, first ambulation and first flatus. The incidences of postoperative pneumonia, urine leakage, intestinal obstruction and deep venous thrombosis were also significantly lower in the ERAS group. The time to pelvic drainage tube removal and the length of stay (LOS) were significantly shorter in the ERAS group than in the non-ERAS group, and the ERAS group also had a significantly lower incidence of 30-day readmission.

Conclusions:

The results of this study suggest that ERAS protocols can accelerate the rehabilitation of patients undergoing RC, reduce the incidence of postoperative complications, shorten the LOS, and are safe and feasible in the field of RC. This study provides experience from FUSCC to further optimize ERAS protocols for patients with bladder cancer.

Nursing Process for Patient and Caregiver Teaching II: Planning and Implementation

Planning for learning involves the development of a teaching plan. Teaching plans are similar to nursing care plans—both follow the steps of the nursing process. Planning in the teaching process involves setting goals and outcomes. Here, goals identify what a patient needs to achieve to understand a healthcare topic better, whereas the outcomes are the action to be performed by the patient to achieve the goal within a timeframe. For example, if the goal is to educate the patient about...

Radical Reactivity: Nucleophilic Radicals

Radical Reactivity: Nucleophilic Radicals

Radicals adjacent to electron-donating groups are called nucleophilic radicals. These radicals readily react with electrophilic alkenes. The SOMO–LUMO interactions are the driving force for the reaction, where the high-energy SOMO of the electron-rich, nucleophilic radicals interacts with the low-energy LUMO of the electron-deficient, electrophilic alkenes. Such SOMO–LUMO interactions are the basis of reactive radical traps, affecting the selectivity in radical reactions. For...

Radical Reactivity: Electrophilic Radicals

Radical Reactivity: Electrophilic Radicals

Radicals adjacent to electron‐withdrawing groups are called electrophilic radicals. These radicals readily react with nucleophilic alkenes. For example, the malonate radical, in which the radical center is flanked by two electron‐withdrawing groups, reacts readily with butyl vinyl ether, which consists of an electron‐donating oxygen substituent. The reaction between electrophilic malonate radical and nucleophilic vinyl ether is favored because the radical has a...

Nursing Implementation

Nursing Implementation

Implementation is the execution of the nursing care plan developed during the planning phase.
The five steps to implementing effective nursing care include reassessing the patient, reviewing and revising the existing nursing care plan, organizing the resources and care delivery, anticipating and preventing complications, and implementing nursing interventions.

Radical Autoxidation

Radical Autoxidation

The oxidation of an organic compound in the presence of air or oxygen is called autoxidation. For example, cumene reacts with oxygen to form hydroperoxide. Autoxidation involves initiation, propagation, and termination steps. Many organic compounds are susceptible to autoxidation—especially ethers in the presence of oxygen, which form hydroperoxides. Even though this reaction is slow, old ether bottles contain small amounts of peroxide, which leads to laboratory explosions during ether...

Bioavailability Study Design: Healthy Subjects Versus Patients

Bioavailability studies are essential for evaluating a drug's therapeutic efficacy and understanding its absorption patterns under various physiological conditions. Conducting such studies on target patient populations provides more relevant data by simulating real-world disease states. However, practical challenges often necessitate the use of young, healthy adult volunteers as study subjects.Patients may exhibit altered drug absorption patterns due to the effects of the disease itself,...
