Why the study?
Enhanced recovery programs reduce morbidity, but evidence comparing an enhanced recovery after cesarean protocol to traditional care in this institutional setting was needed.
Does the Enhanced recovery after caesarean (ERAC) protocol reduce the total duration of hospital stay in patients undergoing elective cesarean section?
Does the Enhanced recovery after caesarean (ERAC) protocol reduce the total duration of hospital stay in patients undergoing elective cesarean section?
Implementation of the ERAC protocol significantly reduces hospital length of stay, improves pain relief, and decreases postoperative opioid requirements following elective cesarean delivery.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
ERAC was associated with shorter readiness for discharge after cesarean; leaves open confirmation in randomized trials before practice change.
Gupta et al. (2022) studied this question.
