Embracing change: the era for pediatric ERAS is here

Mary E Brindle et al. Pediatr Surg Int. 2019 Jun.

Abstract

The concept of Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) has increasingly been embraced by our adult surgical colleagues, but has been slow to crossover to pediatric surgical subspecialties. ERAS® improves outcomes through multiple, incremental steps that act synergistically throughout the entire surgical journey. In practice, ERAS® is a strategy of perioperative management that is defined by strong implementation and ongoing adherence to a patient-focused, multidisciplinary, and multimodal approach. There are increasing numbers of surgical teams exploring ERAS® in children and there is mounting evidence that this approach may improve surgical care for children across the globe. The first World Congress in Pediatric ERAS® in 2018 has set the stage for a new era in pediatric surgical safety.

Keywords: Care pathways; ERAS; Enhanced recovery after surgery; Outcomes; Quality and safety.
