Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) pathways were first introduced almost a quarter of a century ago and represent a paradigm shift in perioperative care AORN Journal is a perioperative nursing journal providing evidence-based practice information to help meet the physiological, behavioral, and safety needs of patients Definitions and history. Defined as continuous improvement in perioperative care, Enhanced Recovery has served as a term to reference efforts in the perioperative ABSTRACT. Objectives: To assess the evidence on the impact of enhanced recovery programmes for patients undergoing elective surgery in acute hospital settings in the

Enhanced recovery. Introduction. The key factors that keep a patient in hospital after uncomplicated major abdominal surgery include the need for parenteral analgesia (persistent pain), intravenous fluids (persistent gut dysfunction), and bed rest (persistent lack of mobility). These factors often overlap and interact to delay return of function Importance: Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) is a paradigm shift in perioperative care, resulting in substantial improvements in clinical outcomes and cost savings. Enhanced Recovery After Surgery. hospital length of stay. patient-centred outcome. postoperative outcome. readmission. Eight years ago, we wrote an editorial for the British Journal of Anaesthesia exploring whether rapid, uncomplicated recovery after surgery would have downstream benefits other than just reduction in hospital length of
[B] Evidence review for enhanced recovery programmes - NICE
The principles of enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) are well established and have been developed to optimise perioperative care and facilitate discharge. 1 – 3. The aims of the ERAS protocol include reducing complication rates following colorectal surgery and the acceleration of recovery Enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) is an evidence-based and multidisciplinary perioperative care pathway and a surgical quality improvement initiative, which has been shown to promote patient mobilization, reduce complication rates after surgery, decrease hospital length of stay and reduce costs, if carefully implemented Enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) is a multimodal perioperative care pathway designed to achieve early recovery for patients undergoing major surgical procedures. Meta-analyses, randomized controlled trials, and large prospective cohort studies were reviewed Enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) programmes are aimed at reducing the surgical stress response and accelerating patient recovery. ERAS spans the pre-operative, intra-operative, and post-operative periods, with nutritional elements embedded throughout the pathways Enhanced recovery after surgery is an evolving principle that aims to improve patient outcomes following surgery, with minimally-invasive surgery as an Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) protocols are multidisciplinary recommendations for perioperative care aimed at improving recovery through research, Definitions and history. Defined as continuous improvement in perioperative care, Enhanced Recovery has served as a term to reference efforts in the perioperative space. A discussion of the adoption of Enhanced Recovery in the United States could broadly course through the history of surgery This review highlights the remarkable strides made in the realm of enhanced recovery after surgery, shedding light on its multifaceted approaches and tangible benefits. From preoperative optimization to postoperative care, ERAS strategies have revolutionized surgical outcomes, reducing complications and hospital stays while improving patient
