Brief summary

This study is a single-center, prospective and randomized controlled study to investigate the effects of early recovery of oral intake (E) and late recovery of oral intake (L) on postoperative recovery quality and satisfaction of patients undergoing thyroid surgery. The study's primary outcome is quality of recovery-15 scale (Qor-15).

Detailed description

The subjects of this study are patients who will receive thyroid surgery in Peking Union Medical College Hospital. After the patient is included in the experiment, when the patient meets the exit criteria of the PACU, the patient will be randomly assigned to early resumption of oral intake group and late resumption of oral intake group to receive different treatments. Finally, researchers will collecte and evaluate the different outcome indicators of the two groups of patients.

DOUBLE (Investigator, Outcomes Assessor)

Masking description

The anesthesiologists will obtain the group of patients through computer randomization before the patients leave the Post-Anesthesia Care Unit, and guide the patients to drink water. The questionnaire collectors and outcomes assessor will not be informed of the group of patients.

Intervention model description

Randomized controlled trial:Participants who enroll in RCTs differ from one another in known and unknown ways that can influence study outcomes, and yet cannot be directly controlled. By randomly allocating participants among compared treatments, an RCT enables statistical control over these influences. Provided it is designed well, conducted properly, and enrolls enough participants, an RCT may achieve sufficient control over these confounding factors to deliver a useful comparison of the treatments studied.

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
QoR-15 score on the first day after surgeryone dayUsing QoR-15 questionnaire to evaluate the quality of perioperative recovery. QoR-15 consists of 15 comprehensive questions, including physical comfort (5 items), psychological support (2 items), physical independence (2 items), emotional state (4 items), and pain (2 items), each item is scored with 0-10 points, 0 represents poor state, 10 represents good state, and the total score is the QoR-15 score of the patient.

Secondary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Patient satisfactionthrough patient discharge, an average of 3-4 dayThe overall satisfaction of the patients during hospitalization was scored immediately before the patients were discharged from the hospital. The patients were scored according to 0-10 points, 0 being completely dissatisfied and 10 being completely satisfied.
Postoperative painthrough patient discharge, an average of 3-4 dayThe patients were given self-evaluation before the first drinking water and 8 hours after the operation. They were divided into pharyngeal pain and surgical incision pain, which were scored according to 0-10 points respectively. 0 point was completely painless, and 10 point was unbearable pain.
QoR-15 score on the day of dischargeone dayUsing QoR-15 questionnaire to evaluate the quality of perioperative recovery. QoR-15 consists of 15 comprehensive questions, including physical comfort (5 items), psychological support (2 items), physical independence (2 items), emotional state (4 items), and pain (2 items), each item is scored with 0-10 points, 0 represents poor state, 10 represents good state, and the total score is the QoR-15 score of the patient.
Length of hospital staythrough patient discharge, an average of 3-4 dayLength of hospital stay
Total drainage volume after operationthrough removal of drainage tube, an average of 2 dayTotal drainage volume after operation
Recovery of digestive functionthrough recovery of digestive function, an average of 1-2 day after surgeryPostoperative defecation and exhaustion time
