  8. The Observation Following the introduction of ERAS the protocol was not to give IV fluids, no Oxygen and same day mobilisation post op. It was observed that there was an increase in patients developing AKIs post operation Patients returned from theatre with low BP and many suffered vaso-vagal episodes when attempting to mobilise. The Hypotheses was developed that the lack of fluids contributed to the increased incidence of AKIs and the other symptoms described above

The PDSA The Plan ~ was to determine if giving IV fluids immediately post op would reduce the number of patients developing post op AKI`s, reduce Vaso Vagal episodes and improve patient wellbeing. The Do ~ was SCN discussed the plan with the multidisciplinary team and gained agreement. The Study ~ was to review 100 patients pre overnight IV fluids and 100 post overnight IV fluids. The Act ~ was to review the 100 patients at the end of the study and draw conclusions
