Key result
Prehabilitation and preoperative preparation, including patient education, nutrition optimization, and lifestyle changes, are essential components of enhanced recovery programs that help prepare patients for surgery.
Why the study?
To review the features of preoperative preparation and prehabilitation within enhanced recovery programs to reduce disability duration, shorten inpatient stays, and improve care quality.
Multimodal preoperative preparation and prehabilitation are critical components of enhanced recovery programs to improve surgical outcomes and reduce rehabilitation time.
May support prehabilitation in enhanced recovery pathways; leaves open need for randomized confirmation.
Fast Track surgery (FTS), as well as ERAS (enhanced recovery after surgery/rapid recovery after surgery programs) or ERP (enhanced recovery program, in russian) is a multimodal and multidisciplinary treatment strategy designed to reduce the duration of disability and improve the quality of medical care. This program includes preparation at the preoperative stage, the use of minimally invasive techniques for performing surgical intervention and active management of the postoperative period to reduce the duration of inpatient treatment, rehabilitation time and the fastest possible return of patients to normal life. In the context of this review, the features of preparation and prehabilitation at the preoperative stage of the enhanced recovery program are considered. The main elements of the strategy are reviewed: correction of eating disorders, carbohydrate loading, preoperative education and problems of multidisciplinary interaction, sarcopenia, lifestyle changes, pharmacogenomics, correction of anemia and preoperative bowels preparation. Prehabilitation and preoperative preparation together help make the patient for surgery and subsequent recovery. The main elements of training are patient and staff training, multidisciplinary interaction, correction of concomitant somatic disorders and diseases, nutrition optimization and lifestyle changes.

Vorobev et al. (2023) conducted a review in Surgical patients. Enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) / Prehabilitation vs. Conventional care was evaluated. Prehabilitation and preoperative preparation, including patient education, nutrition optimization, and lifestyle changes, are essential components of enhanced recovery programs that help prepare patients for surgery.
