Applying evidence-based Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) principles and quality improvement care bundles to emergency general surgery can significantly reduce the high associated mortality rates.
Can principles of Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) improve survival and outcomes in patients undergoing emergency abdominal surgery?
Applying ERAS principles and evidence-based care bundles to emergency abdominal surgery has the potential to significantly reduce the high mortality associated with these procedures.
Enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) has been adopted by many centres and across whole healthcare systems. The results have shown significant reductions in length of stay and postoperative complications. However, there has been very little change in these factors and mortality in emergency surgery. Can we learn from principles of ERAS for emergency abdominal surgery?
Quiney et al. (Tue,) conducted a editorial in Emergency general surgery. Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) principles was evaluated. Applying evidence-based Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) principles and quality improvement care bundles to emergency general surgery can significantly reduce the high associated mortality rates.
