1. This Integrated Care Pathway (ICP) is a multidisciplinary document and replaces all other documentation to
form the patient’s sole record of care. It is intended as a guide to good practice and is evidence based. (NB
point
2. The ICP is not a rigid document and clinicians are free to use their own professional judgement as appropriate,
recording as a variance any alterations to the practice outlined, or any deviation from the expected plan of
treatment.
3. When using the pathway, sign yourself on below stating your discipline. Always use black ink
4. All sections should be fully completed. Please follow all instructions.
5. It is essential that all entries are signed and dated as indicated. Sign only for care that YOU have carried out or
outcomes that have been met.
6. When completing the pathway insert:
� Your initials if the outcome / plan has been met
� A X if it has not been met
� A 0 If the outcome / plan is not applicable to that patient
7. Any variation from the expected plan/ outcome of care: anything that happens that is not expected outcome /
plan is recorded as a VARIANCE.
8. In recording variances, please give as much information as possible
9. All variances must be recorded on the variance / multi-disciplinary notes sheet. Document the variance code
for the relevant action / outcome alongside the written detail of the variance
10. The Cardiff and Vale UHB generic risk assessment book must be used alongside this ICP to ensure that
patients undergo appropriate risk assessment during their stay
11. It may also be appropriate to use a nursing care plan as an adjunct to the pathway. Please make a record
below of the care plans in place and ensure each one is evaluated TDS in the multidisciplinary notes.
All patients Generic risk assessment book
Diabetic patients Diabetes core care plan
Relevant acute
pain team care
plans
Epidural care plan
PCA care plan
Intrathecal morphine care plan
12. If an outcome of care is not applicable to that patient write (N/A)
13. If the pathway is no longer suitable for a patient, discontinue the pathway, document why as a variance and
fill in the date in the table on page 1.

Complications Tick if
present
Acute myocardial infarction — at least two of:
• New onset or worsening of ischaemic symptoms (eg, chest pain, SOB) lasting > 20 min;
• Changes on the ECG consistent with ischaemia, including:
acute ST elevation followed by the appearance of Q waves or loss of R waves
new left bundle branch block
new persistent T wave inversion for at least 24 hours
new ST segment depression which persists for at least 24 hours
• A raised troponin level
Cardiac arrest — documented sudden cessation of cardiac output maintaining effective circulation
Reintubation
Acute pulmonary oedema — respiratory compromise with CXR showing extravascular fluid in lung tissues and alveoli
Pulmonary embolus — high probability of embolism on V/Q scan or pulmonary angiogram
DVT
Stroke — confirmed by CT scan, and clinical symptoms such as paralysis, weakness or speech difficulties, first documented after operation
Sepsis (systemic inflammatory response syndrome) — new finding of at least two of:
temperature, > 38.3°C, or < 36°C
white cell count, > 12x109/L
respiratory rate, > 20 breaths/min
heart rate, > 90 beats/min or
a positive result of a blood culture alone
Wound infection — purulent discharge or redness, or serous discharge and positive result of culture or having antibiotic treatment
Unplanned return to operating room — related to the surgery (eg, surgical bleeding)
Outcomes Record if any complication below is present during hospital stay from day 8 post op onwards.
Record the post op day that the complication occurs

Analgesia Appendix
Pain assessment
Pain must be assessed at rest, on movement and deep breathing using the terms none, mild, moderate or
severe (0-3). Pain should be assessed at least two hourly although in the initial postoperative period or if there
is a pain related problem more frequently.
Analgesia
Epidural analgesia with 2micrograms fentanyl/0.1% bupivacaine
Or
5micrograms fentanyl/0.1% bupivacaine
Or
0.1% bupivacaine only
With
Regular intravenous paracetamol
Intravenous PCA with regular paracetamol + NSAID (if not contraindicated)
Enhanced recovery programme – Upper GI –Total Gastrectomy Cardiff and Vale UHB: version2 13/01/11
73
Once epidural or PCA have been discontinued:
Intravenous step down analgesia day 4-7
Continue regular intravenous paracetamol
Regular intravenous tramadol 50-100mgs
S/C morphine hourly as required (algorithm)
Oral step down analgesia day 9 >
Continue regular intravenous paracetamol
Regular oral tramadol 50-100mgs
Oramorph hourly as required (algorithm)
Anti emetics
1st line Cyclizine 50 mgs as required 8 hourly intravenously
2nd line Ondansetron 4mgs as required 8 hourly intravenously
3rd line Prochloperazine 3-6 mgs twice daily as required via buccal mucosa
Postoperative fluid management:
• Hartmann’s 1.5L over 24 hrs (=62.5 mls/hr)
• Oral intake 800mls on day of surgery.
• IVI down on post op day 1
• Oral intake 2000mls from day 1 (includes 3 nutritional supplement drinks)
• Aim for mean BP ≥60mmHg.
• If poor urine output or hypotension requiring iv fluids, use 250ml boluses of colloid.
• Patients with epidural analgesia may require more postoperative fluids than other
anaesthetic/analgesic techniques due to the vasodilatory effects of the epidural
• Acceptance of a lower average urine output (0.3 mls/kg/hr averaged over 4
hours)in the first 24-48hrs post-operatively helps to avoid fluid overload with no
adverse effect on the patient – as long as other parameters are normal and patient is
euvolaemic with no renal impairment. In the absence of complications, oliguria
occurring soon after operation is usually a normal physiological response to surgery.
• Oliguria soon after surgery does not necessarily reflect hypovolaemia and should be
evaluated in the context of the patient’s volume status. The key question is whether or
not the oliguric patient has significant intravascular hypovolaemia which needs
treatment. Clinical signs reflecting intravascular volume include capillary refill, jugular
(central) venous pressure, and the trend in pulse and blood pressure. Urine output
should be interpreted in the light of these clinical signs, bearing in mind the normal

short term physiological effects of surgery on urine output.
