Brief summary
Aim: Orthognathic surgeries are generally associated with blood loss, swelling, postoperative nausea vomiting (PONV), and pain. The aim of this study is to improve postoperative outcome in patients undergoing orthognatic surgeries by the use of Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) protocols. Material methods: After Ethics Committee approval (2020/965), the data of 90 patients who underwent elective orthognathic surgery, were investigated. Following standard monitorization and general anesthesia; Group 1 patients were applied traditional approach and received intraoperative 10 mL/kg/h IV izolen infusion. Group 2 received ERAS approach. Patients in Group 2 did not preoperatively smoke for 48 hours, drank clear liquids until the last 2 hours, and received 6 mL/kg/h IV izolen intraoperatively. In these; gastric aspiration was also applied before extubation, PONV prophylaxis and patient controlled analgesia was added to the routine plans for the first postoperative 48 hours. The primary endpoint was length of hospital stay. The secondary endpoints were intraoperative follow-up data, length of postanesthesia care unit (PACU) stay, numeric rating scale (NRS) pain scores, opioid consumption and PONV incidences through the postoperative first 48 hours, and satisfaction scores.
Detailed description
Aim: Orthognathic surgeries are extensive surgeries including both soft and hard tissues of the facial region of the skull associated with blood loss, inflammatory reactions, massive swelling, postoperative nausea vomiting (PONV), and severe pain. Therefore; in most of the patients who are with dentofacial deformity and undergo orthognathic surgery, postoperative recovery generally requires a long troublesome period. The aim of this study is to improve postoperative outcome by the use of Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) protocols. Material methods: After Ethics Committee approval (2020/965), the data of 90 patients who underwent elective orthognathic surgery, were investigated. Following standard monitorization and general anesthesia; Group 1 patients were applied traditional approach and received intraoperative 10 mL/kg/h IV izolen infusion. Rescue analgesics and PONV prophylaxis were applied when required through the postoperative first 48 hours. Group 2 received ERAS approach. Patients in Group 2 did not preoperatively smoke for 48 hours, drank clear liquids until the last 2 hours, and received 6 mL/kg/h IV izolen infusion intraoperatively. In these; gastric aspiration was also applied before extubation, PONV prophylaxis was supported routinely, and patient controlled analgesia was added to the routine analgesia plan for the first postoperative 48 hours. The primary endpoint was length of hospital stay. The secondary endpoints were intraoperative follow-up data, numeric rating scale (NRS) pain scores, opioid consumption, PONV incidences, length of postanesthesia care unit (PACU) stay, satisfaction scores of two groups through the postoperative first 48 hours.
Interventions
PROCEDURETraditional Approach
Patients received intraoperative 10 mL/kg/h IV izolen infusion. Opioids and PONV prophylaxis were applied when required.
PROCEDUREEnhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) Approach
Patients did not preoperatively smoke for 48 hours, drank clear liquids until the last 2 hours and received 6 mL/kg/h IV izolen infusion intraoperatively. In these; gastric aspiration was applied before extubation, PONV prophylaxis was supported routinely, and patient controlled analgesia was added to the routine analgesia plan for the first postoperative 48 hours.
