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 (0)

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.

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)

Acute renal impairment — increase in serum creatinine level > 20% of preoperative value, or admission to ICU for renal replacement therapy

Unplanned admission — to ICU, CCU or HDU

Death within 30 days

Anastomotic leak

Ileus

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)

Once epidural or PCA have been discontinued:

Intravenous step down analgesia day 7-9

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

87

. 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.

88•

Nursing responsibilities on admission for Oesophagectomy:

• Malnutrition Risk Assessment (WAASP) completed and patient weighed

• Encourage normal diet and supplements (unless undergoing bowel prep)

• Check prescription of Pre-Op as per carbohydrate loading protocol

Day 1 - 2 (Post-operative):

• If tolerates 10ml/hr sterile water for 12 hours commence feed

• Commence Osmolite at 20ml/hr unless contra-indicated

• Increase rate by 10ml every 6 hours

• Continue to increase rate by 10ml every 6 hours until rate of 80ml/hr achieved

• Feed over 24 hours and flush with 30ml of sterile water every 6 hours

• Target Jejunostomy feeding rates: o End of Day 1 – 40ml/hr o End of day 2 – 80ml/hr

• The final rate of feeding will be determined by the Dietitian in conjunction with the surgical/medical team

Day 0 (Operative Day) – Post Operative:

• Administer sterile water at 10ml/hr for 12 hours using an enteral feeding pump

• Sterile water should commence at 6pm post operative unless contra-indicated

• If contra-indicated the reason for not commencing sterile water should be clearly documented in the patients medical notes

Day before surgery:

• No bowel prep (unless for colonic interposition)

• Eat and drink normal diet

• Ensure Plus B.D.

• Pre-Op 200ml x 4 the evening before surgery

Day 0 - Operative Day:

• No food for 6 hours prior to surgery

• Clear fluids up to 2 hours prior to surgery

• Pre-Op 200ml x 2 up to 2 hours prior to surgery

• NBM 2 hours prior to surgery

Oesophagectomy and insertion of 9fr Freka feeding Jejunostomy

Day 3 - 7

• Continue target feeding regimen as devised by dietitian unless contra-indicated

• The reason for any variance form the target regimen should be clearly documented in the medical notes

Day 7 - 10:

• Swallow test and progress onto oral diet

• Change to overnight feeding

• Dietitian to advise on building up diet and reducing or stopping Jejunostomy feeding

Day 10 - 14:

• Dietitian to assess oral diet and consider stopping enteral feeding by Day 14

• If the patient requires HETF this would have been anticipated prior to and throughout their admission and all training would have been put in place

• Post discharge dietetic advice provided and follow up in UGI clinic at next OPA
