Implication
National rollout of enhanced recovery practices may standardize perioperative care; leaves open rigorous outcome evaluation across hospitals.
Structured PICO
P
Population
Patients undergoing colorectal surgery
I
Intervention
Anesthesiology components of colorectal enhanced recovery pathways (including carbohydrate loading, reduced fasting, multimodal preanesthesia medication, antibiotic prophylaxis, blood transfusion, intraoperative fluid management, normothermia, standardized intraoperative anesthesia pathway, and standard postoperative multimodal analgesic regimens)
O
Outcome
Surgical outcomes, patient experience, and perioperative safety culture
This review outlines evidence-based anesthesiology components for enhanced recovery pathways in colorectal surgery to improve perioperative outcomes and safety.
