Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) in Total Knee Replacement

Goals

  1. Improving preoperative optimization of patients and therefore reducing postoperative complications.
  2. Reducing hospital related infections and postoperative physiological and psychological stress by reducing in hospital stay.
  3. Reduction of medical treatment and financial burden of treatment by adopting minimal invisible approach and multimodal pain management.
  4. Adoption of accelerated rehabilitation protocol and early speedy recovery thereby resumption of function post surgery.

Preoperative phase

  1. Patient counseling and education.
  2. Preoperative optimization of organ dysfunction if any.
  3. Preemptive analgesic medicines.
  4. Patient can have solids 6 hours prior to surgery and liquids 2 hours prior to surgery thereby reducing preoperative fasting period.

Operative phase

  1. Least tissue damage and minimal blood loss.
  2. Less surgical time.
  3. Better and aesthetic techniques including multimodal pain management and nerve blocks.
  4. Avoiding use of drains and Foley catheter and high-volume IV fluids.

Post operative phase

  1. Early resumption of physiotherapy.
  2. Adequate pain control.
  3. Active involvement in rehabilitation program.
  4. Minimization of inpatient stay.
  5. Resumption of regular diet within 6 hours post surgery.

Outcomes

Multiple studies have proved that we ERAS protocol reduces inpatient stay increase patient disposition to home, reduces painkiller requirement post surgery and reduces need of post-operative blood transfusion in selected patient population.

 It also accelerates rehabilitation and recovery after surgery and reduces overall cost of the treatment.

FAQs

Enhanced recovery after surgery (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.

By optimizing perioperative knee replacement care, ERAS has reduced surgical stress, leading to decreased complications such as infections and wound-related issues. This not only reduces the benefit to patient health but also significantly reduces healthcare expenditures.

The implementation of ERAS protocols has consistently shown a positive impact on various key outcome measures, including reduced length of hospital stay, decreased complication rates, improved postoperative recovery, and enhanced patient satisfaction.

Enhance Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) is a modern evidence based concept to aid recovery after surgery. It allows for faster recovery with reduced complication rates.
