What are the effective preoperative patient preparation strategies in enhanced recovery pathways for surgical patients?
Prehabilitation and enhanced recovery pathways, including lifestyle modifications and optimized perioperative management, are effective in reducing postoperative complications and hospital stay.
Liu et al. (2019) conducted a review in Surgical patients. Preoperative patient preparation in enhanced recovery pathways was evaluated. Preoperative preparation, including prehabilitation, smoking and alcohol cessation, exercise, and metabolic optimization, is a pivotal component of enhanced recovery after surgery pathways to reduce postoperative morbidity.
