How Does Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) Impact Recovery Times?
ERAS protocols are designed to optimize patient outcomes by integrating evidence-based practices in perioperative care. These protocols emphasize preoperative education, nutritional optimization, pain management, and early mobilization. By addressing these factors comprehensively, ERAS protocols can significantly shorten recovery times and improve overall patient satisfaction. For example, early mobilization helps reduce the risk of postoperative complications such as deep vein thrombosis (DVT) and pneumonia.
