Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS)
ERAS has achieved significant benefits, but further improvements in patient optimization and systematic implementation are needed.
Abstract
To date, ERAS has achieved significant benefit for patients and health systems; however, improvements are still needed, particularly in the areas of patient optimization and systematic implementation. During this time of global crisis, the ERAS method of delivering care is required to take surgery and anesthesia to the next level and bring improvements in outcomes to both patients and health systems.
