Time to make enhanced recovery after surgery the standard

Joseph B John et al. Br J Hosp Med (Lond). .

Abstract

Multimodality perioperative interventions could accelerate patient recovery and improve cost-effectiveness. An evidence review found an association between enhanced recovery after surgery and decreased length of stay, while complications and recovery time were unchanged or reduced. More specialties should develop and implement enhanced recovery after surgery pathways.
