Abstract

Objective

To systematically evaluate the effect of enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) on perioperative nursing of patients undergoing cardiac surgery.

Methods

A systematic literature search was performed in PubMed, Embase, Web of science, Cochrane, CNKI, Wanfang, and VIP using predefined search strings from inception of database to May 2021. Randomized control trials (RCTs) with sample size >40 on cardiac surgery with either ERAS nursing or routine nursing reporting extubation (trachea) time, length of stay, out of bed activity time, and nursing satisfaction were included in the analysis. Stata SE 12.0 software was used for statistical analysis.

Results

A total of 27 RCTs were included. All the included studies were Chinese due to lack of studies in English. The results of meta‐analysis showed that the extubation time standardized mean difference ([SMD] = −3.11; 95% confidence interval [CI]: −3.77, −2.45; p < .001), out of bed activity time (SMD = −2.89; 95% CI: −3.34, −2.44; p < .001), and hospitalization time (SMD = −2.08; 95% CI: −2.37, −1.79; p < .001) of cardiac surgery patients with ERAS nursing was significantly shorter than those with routine nursing. The patient's satisfaction after surgery with ERAS was higher than that of routine nursing relative risk ([RR] = 1.24; 95% CI: 1.18, 1.30; p < .001).

Conclusion

ERAS nursing can accelerate perioperative rehabilitation of patients undergoing cardiac surgery and highly accepted by patients.

Keywords: cardiac surgery, enhanced recovery after surgery, meta‐analysis, perioperative period, randomized controlled trial

1. INTRODUCTION

The concept of enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) was first proposed by Professor Henrik Kehlet of the University of Copenhagen in Denmark, also known as fast‐track surgery (FTS). 1 ERAS is a multimodal and multidisciplinary evidence‐based surgical nursing method, which aims to optimize perioperative management and prognosis, so as to reduce patients’ surgical stress response, reduce postoperative complications, promote functional recovery, shorten length of hospital stay, and achieve rapid rehabilitation. 2 ERAS was first applied to patients undergoing colorectal surgery. 3 At present, it has been widely used all over the world. Different ERAS guidelines or consensus have been published in many fields, such as rectal/pelvic surgery, 4 pancreaticoduodenectomy, 5 radical cystectomy, 6 gastrectomy, 7 pulmonary surgery, 8 colorectal surgery, 9 gynecology/oncology, 10 cesarean section, 11 and cardiac surgery. 12 Most studies have shown that using ERAS nursing can reduce patients' total length of stay and hospitalization expenses of patients, and improve the quality of life and satisfaction by reducing insulin resistance and inflammatory reaction caused by surgery. 13 , 14 , 15

According to the global disease burden report, cardiovascular diseases are the leading cause of disease burden in the world including China. 16 , 17 , 18 Cardiac surgery is widely used as an effective treatment to reduce the mortality of cardiovascular patients. 19 Although ERAS is still a relatively new concept in the field of cardiac surgery it is expected to play an important role in the perioperative nursing of cardiac surgery. In 2019, guidelines on ERAS in the perioperative period of cardiac surgery were published. 12

Recently, the safety and effectiveness of ERAS in cardiac surgery patients has been increasing studied. A recent study reported a significant reduction in intensive care time, postoperative stay, and length of hospital stay of cardiac surgery patients with ERAS nursing compared with traditional nursing. 20 In the past, many systematic reviews and meta‐analyses have reported the effectiveness and safety of ERAS nursing in different surgical operations. 21 , 22 , 23 However, no meta‐analysis on ERAS nursing in cardiac surgery has been available. Therefore, this study focuses to study the effect of ERAS on perioperative nursing of cardiac surgery patients, to provide evidence on the feasibility, safety, and reliability of ERAS nursing in cardiac surgery patients.

2. METHODS

2.1. Study design

This systematic review and meta‐analysis was conducted to evaluate the effect of ERAS on perioperative nursing of patients undergoing cardiac surgery as per the “Preferred Reporting Items for Systemic reviews and Meta‐analyses” guidelines. 24 An extensive literature search was performed in various databases such as PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, and Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials to identify relevant English articles, while CNKI, VIP, and Wanfang for Chinese articles. Keywords used for literature search include, enhanced recovery after surgery, ERAS, fast track surgery, FTS, enhanced recovery after surgery, cardiac surgery, periodic period of cardiac surgery, periodic nursing, nursing, and nursing care. All articles published from inception to May 2021 were considered.

2.2. Outcomes

Extubation (trachea) time, length of hospital stay, out of bed activity time, and nursing satisfaction of cardiac surgery patients with ERAS nursing or routine nursing were considered as outcomes of this analysis.

2.3. Inclusion and exclusion criteria

All randomized controlled trials comparing ERAS nursing with routine nursing in patients undergoing cardiac surgery with a sample size >40 reporting any one of the outcomes considered for the study were included in the analysis.

Single‐arm studies, nonrandomized controlled studies, meta‐analysis, systematic literature reviews, narrative reviews, case reports, conference proceedings, one or two types of cardiac surgery (like replacing two valves or replacing one valve and plastic surgery or valve replacement and radiofrequency ablation), and studies with a sample size of <40 were excluded.

2.4. Screening and eligibility assessment

After removing duplicates, all the studies were screened as per the inclusion criteria by two independent reviewers to ensure that the studies met prespecified study inclusion criteria. Any disagreement was resolved by the third reviewer.

2.5. Data extraction

Data from included studies regarding author, year of publication, title, study design, demographics of the study population, and outcomes of interest was extracted by two independent reviewers, that are trained and certified on meta‐analysis from West China Hospital, into standardized MS Office Excel.

2.6. Assessment of risk bias

Two researchers independently evaluated the bias risk of the included studies and cross checked the results. The bias risk of randomized control trials (RCTs) was evaluated using the RCT bias risk assessment tool recommended in Cochrane manual 5.1.0. 25

2.7. Statistical analysis

STATA 12.0 software was used for analysis. The standardized mean difference (SMD) was used for effect analysis for the continuous variables and the relative risk (RR) with 95% confidence interval (CI) was used as the effect analysis for the binary variables. The heterogeneity between the included study results was analyzed by χ 2 test (the test level was α = .1) and I 2 to quantitatively judge the heterogeneity. If there is no statistical heterogeneity among the study results, the fixed effect model is used for meta‐analysis; if there is statistical heterogeneity among the study results, the source of heterogeneity is further explored by meta‐regression and sensitivity analysis. The publication bias of the included literature is evaluated by the combination of Begg's and Egger's test and funnel plot. If the p value for heterogeneity is <.05 or I 2 is ≥50% was considered as statistically significant.

3.3. Outcomes

3.3.1. Extubation time

Of 27 studies, 20 studies reported extubation time. The combined SMD value was −3.11 (95% CI: −3.77, −2.45; Z = 9.2; Figure 2A) with p < .001 indicating that the extubation time of patients with ERAS nursing was significantly lower than that of patients with routine nursing. From subgroup analysis, the SMD value for children was −6.92 (95% CI: −11.21, −2.72) and for adults was −3.11 (95% CI: −3.77, −2.45; Figure 2B), and the extubation time of children and adults was significantly shorter with ERAS nursing than that of routine nursing (children: Z = 3.23, p = .001; adults: Z = 10.65, p < .001). A significant heterogeneity was observed among the included studies (I 2 = 95.8%, p < .001).

3.3.2. Length of hospital stay

A total of 20 studies reported length of hospital stay. A significant heterogeneity was observed among studies (I 2 = 84.8%, p < .001), random effect model was used for analysis. The combined SMD value was −2.08 (95% CI: −2.37, −1.79, Figure 3A) with p < .001 (Z = 14.22) indicating that the length of hospital stay of patients with ERAS nursing was significantly lower than that of patients with routine nursing. Subgroup analysis showed that with ERAS nursing, the length of hospital stay of both children and adults was significantly shorter than that of routine nursing (children: Z = 5.97, p < .001; adults: Z = 14.67, p < .001; Figure 3B).

3.3.3. Out of bed activity time

Out of bed activity was reported by 15 studies, which were included in the analysis. Out of bed activity time of patients on ERAS nursing was significantly lower than that of patients on routine nursing as analyzed by random effect model (I 2 = 87.6%, p < .001) with SMD of −2.89; 95% CI: −3.34, −2.44; p < .001 (Z = 12.63; Figure 4).

3.3.4. Nursing satisfaction

A total of 11 studies that reported nursing satisfaction were included in the analysis. No heterogeneity was observed among studies (I 2 = 0%, p = .709) hence fixed effect model was used for analysis. Patients on ERAS nursing showed 1.24 times higher satisfaction compared to routine nursing as analyzed from fixed effect model (I 2 = 0%; p = .709) with RR of 1.24; 95%  CI: 1.18–1.30; p < .001 (Z = 8.73; Figure 5).

3.4. Publication bias

The results of Begg's and Egger's tests showed that there was publication bias among the studies included reporting extubation time, length of hospital stay, and out of bed activity time (p < .05; Table 2; Figure 6), and the funnel plots showed asymmetric distribution, while no publication bias was observed among the studies reporting nursing satisfaction (p > .05). The results showed that there was little difference between the effect values before extubation (effect value: −3.108) and after extubation (effect value: −3.579) (p < .001), but there was no change in the effect values before and after hospitalization and out of bed activity time (p < .001). Hence, it can be considered that the existence of publication bias had no effect on the results of meta‐analysis.

3.5. Source of heterogeneity

A significant heterogeneity was observed among the studies reporting extubation time, length of hospital stay, and out of bed activity time. The meta‐regression analysis showed that the year of publication and the population (children or adults) may be the source of heterogeneity in extubation time and out of bed activity time, while the population (children or adults) may be the source of heterogeneity in length of hospital stay (Table 3). The results of sensitivity analysis showed that the outcome index is extubation time. The sensitivity and robustness between the studies reporting length of hospital stay and out of bed activity time were high and poor respectively, which may be the source of heterogeneity, as shown in Figure 7.

4. DISCUSSION

ERAS nursing involves, preoperative (to optimize patient before surgery), intraoperative and postoperative care (to enhance patient rehabilitation and recovery). Preoperative ERAS includes preadmission counseling, nutritional screening/support, medical optimization of chronic diseases, selective use of bowel preparation, avoid prolonged fasting, carbohydrate loading, antibiotic, and thromboprophylaxis if necessary. Minimally invasive surgery techniques, standardized anesthesia techniques, selective use of drains, avoiding fluid overload, and maintaining normal body temperature are taken care in intraoperative ERAS. Postoperative ERAS includes avoidance of nasogastric tubes, early oral intake of liquids and solids, removing urinary catheter and intravenous infusion tube as early as possible, preventing nausea and vomiting, use of nonopioid analgesics, early mobilization, and preparation for early discharge. 53 , 54

It is speculated that the combination of one or more of the above measures may be applied to patients undergoing cardiac surgery to accelerate their rehabilitation and make them physically and mentally comfortable during the nursing process, so as to shorten the extubation time, out of bed activity time and length of stay and improve their satisfaction with nursing. Li et al. 55 reported shorter discharge time and intensive care unit treatment time after the implementation of ERAS nursing in patients undergoing cardiac valve surgery compared with routine nursing. A recent study on patients undergoing minimally invasive aortic valve or mitral valve surgery reported significantly shorter length of hospital stay and lower hospitalization cost with ERAS nursing compared with patients on routine nursing. 56 A study on Chinese patients showed that compared with routine nursing, the extubation time and out of bed activity time of patients undergoing cardiac surgery was significantly shorter in those receiving ERAS nursing and significantly improved nursing satisfaction. 35 In consistent with the reported studies, the results of the present meta‐analysis also showed significantly shorter extubation time, out of bed activity time and length of hospital stay of cardiac surgery patients with ERAS nursing compared to routine nursing, while the nursing satisfaction of ERAS was higher than that of routine nursing, indicating that ERAS nursing accelerates surgical recovery, improves patient outcomes and highly acceptable by patients.

In the present meta‐analysis, although meta‐regression showed that the publication year and the population (children or adults) of the studies may be the sources of heterogeneity, it can only explain part of the sources of heterogeneity. As all studies included are Chinese and the type of cardiac surgery was not specified, the type and numbers of cardiac surgical procedures undergone by patients may be different in the included studies, which may be the reason of heterogeneity among the studies. However, because ERAS is not widely used in the field of cardiac surgery and only a few studies have been published, hence conducting meta‐analysis on ERAS nursing in each cardiac surgery was challenging.

The present meta‐analysis has certain limitations: All the studies included in the analysis are in Chinese as there is lack of studies in English; due to the lack of relevant literature, subgroup analysis of each cardiac surgery was not conducted; the source of heterogeneity has not been explored clearly, which needs to be further explored through subgroup analysis on the type of cardiac surgery.
