This review explores the key elements of applying an Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) protocol to minimally invasive thoracic surgery to reduce perioperative stress and complications.
This review explores the key elements of applying an ERAS protocol to minimally invasive thoracic surgery to reduce perioperative stress and improve recovery.
May support cautious ERAS adoption in thoracic surgery; leaves open need for randomized validation.
) is a strategy that seeks to reduce patients' perioperative stress response, thereby reducing potential complications, decreasing hospital length of stay and enabling patients to return more quickly to their baseline functional status. The concept was introduced in the late 1990s and was first adopted for use with patients undergoing open colorectal surgery. Since that time, the concept of ERAS has spread to multiple surgical specialties. This article explores the key elements for patient care using an ERAS protocol applied to minimally invasive thoracic surgery.
