Key result
ERAS protocols standardize perioperative interventions to improve solid organ transplant outcomes.
Why the study?
Fast-track and enhanced recovery after surgery protocols have become integrated into transplant anesthesiology care, prompting an overview of clinical pathways, current evidence, and recommendations across solid organ transplantation.

This review outlines the concepts, current evidence, and recommendations for fast-track and ERAS protocols in solid organ transplantation.
Clinical pathways such as fast-track and enhanced recovery after surgery protocols have become integrated into transplant anesthesiology care in recent decades. These clinical pathways aim to improve patient outcomes through use of standardized, evidence-based perioperative interventions. In this paper we define the concepts of fast-track and ERAS in the context of transplant anesthesiology and review the origins of these concepts. Next, we discuss clinical pathways in three areas of transplantation: liver transplantation, kidney transplantation, and thoracic organ transplantation. In this expert opinion paper, we review current evidence and recommendations regarding fast-track and ERAS in these areas of transplantation and describe opportunities for future research and guideline development.

ANDERSON et al. (2026) conducted a review in Solid organ transplantation. Fast-track and enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) protocols was evaluated. Fast-track and enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) protocols aim to improve patient outcomes in solid organ transplantation through standardized, evidence-based perioperative interventions.
