About this trial

Enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) is a strategy of perioperative management aimed to accelerate the rehabilitation of patients through various optimized perioperative managements as well as ongoing adherence to a patient-focused, multidisciplinary, and multimodal approach. Alleviating the injury and stress caused by surgery or disease is the core principle of ERAS, which has been shown to reduce complication rates after surgery, promote patient recovery, decrease hospital length of stay and reduce costs. ERAS has been widely applied in many surgical perioperative fields, and it has achieved remarkable effects. However, there are few applications of ERAS in neurosurgery, especially in clinical trials of neurocritical care patients.

Therefore, the investigators attempt to conduct the study of ERAS in neurosurgical intensive patients using a series of optimized perioperative managements that have been verified to be effective by evidence-based medicine, and to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of ERAS in neurocritical care. The aim of this study is to explore the most suitable ERAS protocols to accelerate the postoperative rehabilitation process of neurocritical care patients, and to provide more evidence-based medicine for the effectiveness and safety of ERAS in neurosurgery.

Trial outcomes

Primary outcomes

1

Clinical prognosis

Glasgow Outcome Scale score (1 = death; 2 = persistent vegetative state; 3 = severe disability; 4 = moderate disability; 5 = good but not necessarily complete recovery; unfavorable outcome was defined as score of ≤3, and favorable outcome was defined as a score of \>3)

Time frame
One month, three and six months after injury or attack
2

Neurological function assessment

Modified Rankin scale score (0 = no symptoms; 1 = no significant disability; 2 = slight disability; 3 = moderate disability; 4 = moderately severe disability; 5 = severe disability; 6 = dead; favorable outcome was defined as score of 0-2, and unfavorable outcome was defined as score of 3-6)

Time frame
One month, three and six months after injury or attack

Secondary outcomes

1

Neuroimaging evaluation
