Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS)

ERAS substantially improves the quality of peri-operative care with a concomitant cost reduction

  • Reduce length of hospital stay

  • Reduce surgical and medical complication rates

  • Reduce readmission rates

  • Significantly improve patient satisfaction

In addition, the ERAS protocols provide guidance to all healthcare professionals involved in perioperative care, helping them to work as a well-coordinated team to reduce marked variability by standardizing clinical practice.

ERAS is a multimodal & multidisciplinary perioperative care pathway designed to achieve enhanced recovery for patients undergoing surgery. The goals of ERAS are:

  • Improving the quality and the speed of recovery from surgery

  • Returning the patient to their pre-operative quality of life or improving their overall quality of life

  • Making the patient a partner in his or her care - leading to a significant improvement in satisfaction and overall patient experience

  • Reducing the overall cost of care

  • Standardizing perioperative clinical practice through evidence-based protocols

These goals are achieved by reducing the neuroendocrine stress response to surgery.
