Abstract
Background
Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) protocols for bariatric surgery improve clinical outcomes. However, the impact of ERAS protocols on patient satisfaction is unknown. Virtual reality has been implemented as an effective adjunct to standard analgesic regimens. This study seeks to find out if immersive virtual reality in the immediate postoperative period could improve the subjective quality of recovery and further reduce opioid requirements for bariatric surgery patients compared with ERAS care alone.
Methods
This is a single-centre, randomised clinical trial of patients recovering from laparoscopic bariatric surgery. Once in the post-anaesthesia care unit (PACU), participants will receive either an immersive virtual reality plus ERAS protocol or ERAS protocol alone. The primary outcome will be the Quality of Recovery-15 (QoR-15) score at PACU discharge. Secondary outcomes include PACU opioid requirements, length of PACU stay, PACU pain scores, QoR-15 score on postoperative day 1, hospital length of stay, opioid requirements, and opioid-related adverse effects until hospital discharge.
Conclusions
Positive findings from this study could introduce virtual reality as a non-pharmacological adjunct during PACU care that improves subjective recovery for patients undergoing bariatric surgery.
