Review assesses the combined effects of ERAS protocols and infection prevention strategies on SSIs, suggesting improved outcomes.
Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS®) is a multimodal perioperative framework designed to mitigate the physiological stress response to major surgery. While ERAS protocols consistently reduce length of hospital stay, overall complication rates, and healthcare costs compared to conventional care, their specific impact on surgical site infections (SSIs) remains poorly defined. This review explores the potential synergistic benefits of integrating ERAS protocols with established infection prevention bundles. By evaluating the current clinical evidence, we analyze how the co-implementation of these two evidence-based strategies can collectively reduce the incidence of SSIs.
