Implementing the enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) protocol for oncosurgeries in a tertiary level hospital in South India: Key steps and early outcomes

Key Result

Anesthesiologists can effectively implement ERAS care pathways in hospitals by forming a core team and systematically applying ERAS components during surgeries.

Key Points

• Systematically applied ERAS components at each surgical stage
• Monitored and documented outcomes following surgery
• Early outcomes indicate enhanced recovery times
• Patient satisfaction improved post-surgery
