Key result
Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) protocols in cardiac surgery face significant evidence gaps and controversies regarding patient blood management, goal-directed therapy, acute kidney injury, opioid reduction, and delirium.
Why the study?
Most preventable morbidity and mortality following cardiac surgery originates outside the operating room, and significant evidence gaps and controversies remain in perioperative management.
Highlights five major areas of controversy and evidence gaps in perioperative care for cardiac surgery to guide future research and standardization of care.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
Prioritizes evidence-based perioperative protocols after cardiac surgery; leaves open which standardized bundles most effectively reduce preventable morbidity.
Shaw et al. (2022) conducted a review in Cardiac surgery. Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) protocols was evaluated. Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) protocols in cardiac surgery face significant evidence gaps and controversies regarding patient blood management, goal-directed therapy, acute kidney injury, opioid reduction, and delirium.
