ObjectiveTo evaluate the effect of fast track surgery (FTS) on clinical parameters and postoperative complications in patients with abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA). MethodFifty Patients with AAA treated in our hospital between December 2009 and May 2015 were enrolled in this study. Ten patients between December 2009 and December 2012 received conventional standard care (conventional group), while 50 between January 2013 and May 2015 received FTS (FTS group). The first exhaust time, the first time of off-bed activities, the duration of hospital stays, and the complications after AAA surgery were analyzed. ResultsThe first exhaust time of patients in the FTS group and conventional group was (2.5±0.9) and (4.0±1.1) days; the first time of off-bed activities was (2.9±1.0) and (4.1±0.9) days; and the duration of hospital stays was (13.5±2.1) and (17.9±2.8) days. All those differences were significant (P<0.05). The incidences of incision infection, renal inadequacy, lower limb swelling, and weakened gastric function in the FTS group were significantly lower than those in the conventional group (P<0.05). On the third day after surgery, C-reactive protein in the FTS and conventional group was respectively (57.5±9.0) and (65.0±13.1) mg/L, and interleukin-6 was respectively (10.2±3.9) and (15.5±5.1) pg/L, both of which were significantly different between the two groups (P<0.05). ConclusionsFast track surgery is effective and safe in patients with abdominal aortic aneurysm, and it may lower trauma stress after surgery and incidence of postoperative complications.
