Journal ArticleDOI
Multimodal Prehabilitation to Enhance Functional Capacity Following Radical Cystectomy: A Randomized Controlled Trial.
Enrico Maria Minnella,Rashami Awasthi,Guillaume Bousquet-Dion,Vanessa Ferreira,Berson Austin,Christine Audi,Simon Tanguay,Armen Aprikian,Francesco Carli,Wassim Kassouf +9 more
TL;DR: It was suggested that multimodal prehabilitation resulted in faster functional recovery after radical cystectomy and showed that using the time before surgery to promote exercise and good nutrition could fasten recovery after the surgical removal of the bladder.
Journal ArticleDOI
Prehabilitation: a new area of integration between geriatricians, anesthesiologists, and exercise therapists.
Francesco Carli,Vanessa Ferreira +1 more
TL;DR: The interaction of physical activity and nutrition promotes anabolism, thereby preparing patients to better withstand the stress of surgery and subsequently mitigating the impact on postoperative outcome.
Journal ArticleDOI
Supervised exercise training with multimodal pre-habilitation leads to earlier functional recovery following colorectal cancer resection.
Rashami Awasthi,Enrico Maria Minnella,Vanessa Ferreira,Agnihotram V. Ramanakumar,Celena Scheede-Bergdahl,Francesco Carli +5 more
TL;DR: The hypothesis of this secondary analysis of the two studies was to determine whether supervised exercise further accelerates the return to baseline walking ability.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effect of two different pre-operative exercise training regimens before colorectal surgery on functional capacity: A randomised controlled trial.
Enrico Maria Minnella,Vanessa Ferreira,Rashami Awasthi,Patrick Charlebois,Barry Stein,Alexander Sender Liberman,Celena Scheede-Bergdahl,José A. Morais,Francesco Carli +8 more
TL;DR: Both MICT and HIIT enhanced pre-operative functional capacity, with no difference between groups: mean (95% confidence interval) oxygen consumption at anaerobic threshold 1.97, and at 2 months after surgery, the HIIT group showed a higher improvement in physical fitness.
Journal ArticleDOI
Preoperative Preparations for Enhanced Recovery After Surgery Programs: A Role for Prehabilitation.
TL;DR: Preoperative risk assessment is valuable only if subsequent targeted optimization of patient care is allowed and should not be exclusively focused on patients' comorbidities, but also include nutritional assessment, functional capacity, and promote healthy life style habits that affect surgical outcomes.
