Enhanced Recovery for Cardiac Surgery

Christopher Noss et al. J Cardiothorac Vasc Anesth. 2018 Dec.

Abstract

Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS® Society, Stockholm, Sweden) programs are developing rapidly in multiple specialties, fueled by the promising outcomes in colorectal surgery. There currently are no Enhanced Recovery After Surgery guidelines for cardiac surgery. The elevated burden of mortality, morbidity, and high resource expenditures associated with cardiac surgery present a tremendous opportunity for enhanced recovery. This narrative review sets out to examine the literature involving enhanced recovery in cardiac surgery and explores additional potential areas of interest.

Keywords: ERAS; ERCS; enhanced recovery.
