No results posted yet for this study

Summary

The concept of "enhanced recovery" was introduced by European anesthesiologists and surgeons who challenged traditional clinical practices involved in peri-operative care in 1990s. The goal of enhanced recovery programs (ERP) is to maintain normal physiology thereby decreasing complications. It focuses on peri-operative optimization of patient care. It was originally created for open colorectal surgeries but now has shown benefit in various surgical specialities including thoracic surgery, vascular surgery, hepatobiliary as well as gynecological surgery.

The successful implementation of structured ERAS program requires an ERAS protocol, audit system and a multidisciplinary team. The investigators will evaluate the effect of compliance with the protocol and outcomes such as length of stay, readmissions, morbidity and mortality.
