Key result
Enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) protocols, including early mobilization, early oral nutrition, and nonopioid analgesia, are strong predictors for shorter hospital stays and lower morbidity.

Supports ERAS integration in perioperative care; leaves open randomized confirmation in cardiac surgery.
Does an enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) pathway reduce hospital stay and morbidity in patients undergoing major surgical procedures?
Enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) protocols, which include early mobilization, early oral nutrition, and avoidance of nasogastric tubes, are associated with shorter hospital stays and lower morbidity in patients undergoing major surgery.
Parks et al. (2018) conducted a review in Major surgical procedures. Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) vs. Traditional perioperative care was evaluated. Enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) protocols, including early mobilization, early oral nutrition, and nonopioid analgesia, are strong predictors for shorter hospital stays and lower morbidity.
