What Is the Role of Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) Protocols?
Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) protocols have been instrumental in promoting shorter hospital stays. ERAS protocols are evidence-based guidelines that encompass preoperative, intraoperative, and postoperative care. These protocols aim to reduce the physiological stress of surgery, expedite recovery, and minimize hospital stays. Key components of ERAS include early mobilization, optimized pain management, and early resumption of oral intake.
