Enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) and anesthesia

Abstract

ERAS (Enhanced Recovery After Surgery) is a multimodal approach which aims to optimize perioperative management. ERAS is a combination of changes in preoperative, intraoperative and postoperative care to reduce organ dysfunction and surgical stress response. This concept is managed by multidisciplinary teams that include various areas of expertise to minimize the patient’s surgical stress response, optimize physiological functions, and facilitate healing. In order to further increase these developments in various surgical specialties, protocols have been established on this subject and many health institutions offer their services in this way. With the use of ERAS protocols, perioperative and postoperative complications decreased, patient survival and quality of care improved, and patient satisfaction was significantly increased.
