【 摘 要 】

Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) is a multidisciplinary approach to the care of surgical patient. ERAS protocols are multimodal perioperative care pathways designed to achieve early recovery after surgical procedures by maintaining preoperative organ function and reducing the profound stress response following surgery (1). ERAS started mainly with colorectal surgery but has been shown to improve outcomes in almost all major surgical specialties (2). ERAS process implementation involves a team consisting of surgeons, anesthesiologists, nutritionists, nurses, and other staff from services who are involved in patient care. In the past few years, several different centers have focused on ERAS programs resulting in many protocols that are now available with multiple elements to be considered (3). Despite the evidence of improved postoperative outcomes and recovery (4–7), ERAS implementation is slow and varies between different hospitals.
