Does the Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) nursing programme improve perioperative outcomes in patients undergoing major surgery?
Nurses play a central role in the successful implementation of Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) pathways, which aim to reduce complications and hospital stay for surgical patients.
In spite of continuous advances in anaesthesia, surgery and perioperative care, major surgery is still associated with undesirable sequel such as pain, cardiopulmonary, infective and thromboembolic complications, cerebral dysfunction, nausea and gastrointestinal paralysis, fatigue, and prolonged convalescence.1.Kehlet H. Multimodal approach to control postoperative pathophysiology and rehabilitation.Br J Anaesth. 1997; 78: 606-617Abstract Full Text PDF PubMed Scopus (1723) Google Scholar Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) was initiated by Professor Henrik Kehlet in the 1990s,1.Kehlet H. Multimodal approach to control postoperative pathophysiology and rehabilitation.Br J Anaesth. 1997; 78: 606-617Abstract Full Text PDF PubMed Scopus (1723) Google Scholar and enhanced recovery programmes (ERPs) have become an important focus of perioperative management for most major surgeries. These care pathways are integrated as the patient moves from home through the pre-hospital/pre-admission, pre-operative, intraoperative, and post-operative phases of surgery and home again. ERAS represents a model of perioperative care in by re-examining traditional practices and replacing them with evidence-based good practices when necessary. It also covers each phase of the patient's journey through the surgical process. These programmes attempt to modify the physiological and psychological responses to major surgery,2.Fearon K.C.
