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