Type  Name  Details 
Intervention  Enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS)  Enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) is a multidisciplinary approach consisting of perioperative and operative management aiming at improving clinical outcomes including : Preoperative 1.Education regarding Counseling for de-addiction from tobacco and its related products - smoking, pan masala, quid etc for a minimum period of 4 weeks, the extent of surgery and treatment, hospital course, recovery and outcomes 2. Speech consultation and rehabilitation 3. Nutrition assessment and rehabilitation. 4. Oral and dental hygiene - with 0.2 % Chlorhexidine Mouthwash and adequate dental care. 5. Nausea prophylaxis – With oral prokinetic drugs a day before OT (Tab metoclopramide 10 mg at HS) 6. Carbohydrate rich beverage (50gm of glucose in 200 ml of water) up to 2 hours prior OT 7. Multimodal analgesia – Non opioid analgesia (NSAIDs, acetaminophen, and gabapentin) with limited use of opioids 8. Antibiotics – 1 hour before incision and to be repeated if surgery is prolonged for more than 4 hours with 24-hour antibiotic prophylaxis covering oral flora is indicated for clean-contaminated procedures. 9. Tracheostomy planning during preoperative assessment 10. Short-acting anxiolytics – non opioid anxiolytic (short-acting oral - Tab Alprazolam 0.25mg at HS and intravenous anxiolytic - Inj MIdazolam 0.05mg/kg before induction) Intraoperative 1. Goal directed Fluid therapy - Net zero fluid balance is supported for early recovery and to minimize postoperative flap complications. Maintenance of Normothermia 2. Adequate Vasopressors Blood transfusion only when required Postoperative 1. Nursing a. ICU care b. Flap monitoring 2. Multimodal analgesia - non opioid analgesia. 3. Nasogastric tube feeds POD - within 24 hours of surgery Early mobilization within 24 hours of surgery 4. Speech and nutrition consultation Early Catheter removal - within 24-48 hours (after mobilization) 4. Early tracheostomy decannulation, if done - Early tracheostomy decannulation will be initiated within 48 hours with criteria for decannulation if the patient can tolerate corking without respiratory distress for 24 hours. The goal is to discharge patients without a tracheostomy. 5. Oral feeding - within 7-10 days depending upon the resected structures. 6. Early Nasogastric tube removal with initiation of and continuation of adequate oral diet 7. Blood transfusion if Hb 8 g/dl 8. Early discharge based on set criteria – a. Stable vitals. b. Satisfactory wound healing - Southampton Score equal or less than 2 c. No significant symptoms - fever, vomiting and respiratory distress. d. Pain - less than 5 on scale of 0 to 10 or if Pain can be controlled on Oral analgesics. e. No other complication requiring hospital stay

Brief Summary  

Enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) is a multidisciplinary approach consisting of perioperative and operative management aiming at improving clinical outcomes. 

This is achieved through principles such as patient education, goal-directed fluid therapy, multimodal analgesia, and early mobilization with help of a team consisting of nurses, anesthesiologists, dieticians, physical specialists, social workers and surgeons. 


Oral cancer with a 5-year prevalence of more than 3 lakh is one of the most common cancers in the Indian subcontinent. Surgery is an integral part of treatment and that enormous prevalence along with morbidity of surgery amounts to a huge burden on our Health care system. Advantages of Enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) has been proven in multiple fields such as colorectal surgery, hepatobiliary surgery, and thoracic surgery with factors such as reduced complication rates and shorter hospital length of stay (LOS).


Novelty:

Though there are studies evaluating the effect of Enhanced Recovery After Surgery in Oral Oncosurgery, they are limited in terms of the cases studied, having retrospective analysis and inclusion of only a particular subgroup of patients.


Expected Outcomes:

In this study, we expect to find adherence and response of ERAS in patients with Oral cavity carcinoma undergoing surgery by the specified perioperative and operative intervention as an adjunct to the standard of care that may reduce the hospital stay and reduce the complications.
