Why the study?
Ongoing accumulation of evidence is needed to guide perioperative care and clarify which components of ERAS protocols provide the most benefit in thoracic and lung resection surgery.
What are the updated guidelines and recommendations for enhanced recovery techniques in thoracic and lung resection surgery?
What are the updated guidelines and recommendations for enhanced recovery techniques in thoracic and lung resection surgery?
This update reviews the accumulating evidence for enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) protocols in thoracic surgery to guide perioperative care.
May guide thoracic perioperative protocols; leaves open need for RCTs to confirm benefits.
The continued accumulation of data and evidence for the benefits of enhanced recovery techniques in thoracic and lung resection surgery will provide the thoracic anesthesiologist with guidance on how to best care for these patients before, during, and after surgery. The data from these studies will also help to elucidate which components of ERAS protocols are the most beneficial, and which components perhaps do not provide as much benefit as previously thought.
