Does the application of ERAS principles improve outcomes and reduce complications in emergency patients undergoing major abdominal surgery?
p-value: p=0.002
The application of ERAS principles in emergency abdominal surgery is associated with reduced intravenous fluid use, shorter duration of catheters/drains, and significantly fewer major and minor complications.
Wisely et al. (2016) conducted a cohort in Emergency patients undergoing major abdominal surgery (n=370). Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) principles vs. Pre-ERAS management was evaluated on Major complications (p=0.002). The application of ERAS principles in emergency abdominal surgery significantly reduced major complications (P=0.002) and minor complications compared to the pre-ERAS period.
