Key result
The adoption of pediatric Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) guidelines enhances surgical outcomes, establishes strong teamwork, and reinforces patient and family needs as a top priority.
Why the study?
While pediatric ERAS protocols improve clinical outcomes, there are further care domains, such as care coordination and patient and family engagement, that may be strengthened by their adoption.
The adoption of pediatric ERAS guidelines provides a framework for coordinating care, engaging patients and families, and enhancing surgical outcomes.
May strengthen care coordination and patient engagement in pediatrics; leaves open prospective trials before practice change.
The uptake of pediatric Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS®) protocols has gradually increased over the years. While many teams have accepted ERAS® protocols for their improvement in clinical outcomes, there are further domains of care that may be strengthened by the adoption of ERAS®. Enhanced Recovery After Surgery® principles provide the framework for coordinating care among the increasingly complex clinical team required to look after pediatric patients. Engaging our pediatric patients and their families throughout the ERAS® process has multiple benefits. Involving patients in the development and implementation process of ERAS® protocols creates more robust guidelines. In addition, engaged patients have greater compliance to recommendations and improved outcomes. The adoption of pediatric ERAS® guidelines enhances pediatric surgical outcomes, establishes strong teamwork, communication and care coordination and reinforces the patient and family needs as a top priority.
