Key result
The application of Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) protocols in elective major surgeries shortens hospital stay by 2-3 days and reduces complications by 40-50%.
ERAS protocols, involving multidisciplinary perioperative care, reduce complications and improve recovery in surgical patients.
May support ERAS consideration in elective surgery; leaves open need for randomized confirmation across populations.
ERAS (Enhanced Recovery After Surgery) is a multimodal approach which aims to optimize perioperative management. ERAS is a combination of changes in preoperative, intraoperative and postoperative care to reduce organ dysfunction and surgical stress response. This concept is managed by multidisciplinary teams that include various areas of expertise to minimize the patient’s surgical stress response, optimize physiological functions, and facilitate healing. In order to further increase these developments in various surgical specialties, protocols have been established on this subject and many health institutions offer their services in this way. With the use of ERAS protocols, perioperative and postoperative complications decreased, patient survival and quality of care improved, and patient satisfaction was significantly increased.
