What are the Key Components of ERAS in Gynecology?
ERAS protocols in gynecology encompass several key components:
Preoperative Counseling: Educating patients about the surgical process, expected outcomes, and postoperative care. Optimizing Nutrition: Encouraging a balanced diet before surgery and ensuring adequate hydration. Minimizing Fasting: Allowing patients to consume clear fluids up to two hours before surgery. Multimodal Analgesia: Using a combination of medications to manage pain and reduce reliance on opioids. Early Mobilization: Encouraging patients to move and walk as soon as possible after surgery. Thromboembolism Prophylaxis: Implementing measures to prevent blood clots.
