Enhanced Recovery After Surgery in Colorectal Surgery: A Large-Scale Quality Improvement Project

NCT03189550 · Status: COMPLETED · Type: OBSERVATIONAL · Enrollment: 664

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

Multimodal perioperative care pathways have evolved into enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS). ERAS pathways improve the quality of patient care, reduce morbidity, and shorten length of stay. This project will test the hypothesis that implementation of a multi-modal ERAS perioperative care protocol in colorectal surgical patients will result in significantly reduced perioperative morbidity and mortality.

Conditions

  • Colorectal Surgery
  • Quality Improvement
