Enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) is a multidisciplinary, patient-centred approach aimed at expediting recovery, improving clinical outcomes, and reducing healthcare costs. Initially developed for colorectal surgery, ERAS principles have been successfully applied across various surgical specialties, including cardiac surgery. This study outlines the implementation certification process of program in tertiary centre within Heart-Vessel Department Lausanne University Hospital.
Enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) protocols for elective colorectal reduce the intensity of postoperative complications, hospital stays and costs. Improvements in clinical outcome are directly proportional to adherence recommended pathway (compliance). The aim present study was analyze reasons non-compliance surgeries with ERAS protocol.A consecutive cohort patients undergoing prospectively analyzed regards surgery's compliance protocol. reason every single protocol deviation documented...
Importance Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) guidelines and the World Health Organization Surgical Safety Checklist (SSC) are 2 well-established tools for optimizing patient outcomes perioperatively. Objective To integrate to facilitate key perioperative decision-making. Evidence Review Snowball sampling recruited international ERAS users from multiple clinical specialties. A 3-round modified Delphi consensus model was used evaluate 27 colorectal or gynecologic oncology recommendations...
Summary Introduction Nurses are the linchpin of any Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) program, as they in direct contact with patients and various caregivers. The aim present survey was to assess ERAS key factors challenges from a nurse’s perspective. Methods A qualitative study among dedicated nurses Interactive Audit System (EIAS) administrators using an online questionnaire (Survey Monkey®, Palo Alto, CA, United States) comprising 29 questions. focused on drawbacks encountered during...
Abstract Background Enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) pathways have considerably improved postoperative outcomes and are in use for various types of surgery. The prospective audit system (EIAS) could be a powerful tool large‐scale outcome research but its database has not been validated yet. Methods Swiss ERAS centers were invited to contribute the validation chapter colorectal A monitoring team performed on‐site visits by standardized checklist. Validation criteria (I) coverage (No....
To compare the enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) protocol compliance and clinical outcomes depending on weekday of surgery.Cohort consecutive non-selected patients undergoing elective colorectal from January 2012 to March 2015. This retrospective analysis our prospective database compared operated early in week (Monday Tuesday) with second half (late: Thursday, Friday).Compliance ERAS protocol, functional recovery, complications length stay.Demographic surgical details were similar...
Reported incidence of surgical site infections (SSI) after colonic surgery varies widely. These variations depend not only on patient- and surgery-related parameters but are influenced by type quality follow-up. The aim the study was to compare SSI assessed two independent prospective surveillance systems, a national program based recommendations National Healthcare Safety Network (Swissnoso) versus an international audit system, ERAS® Interactive Audit System (EIAS; Encare, Stockholm,...
Background: Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) programs reduce recovery time, length of stay (LOS), and complications after major surgical procedures. Purpose: We evaluated our 2-year experience with a newly implemented comprehensive ERAS program at high-volume center pancreatic surgery. Methods: Outcomes, cost, compliance metrics were assessed in 215 patients who underwent elective surgery (pre-ERAS; n = 99; post-ERAS: 116). Mann-Whitney U χ 2 tests used to evaluate continuous...
