Enhanced Recovery
After Surgery [ERAS] -RAKESH YADAV [40] ❑ Objectives:
❖To describe Pre-Operative Care
❖To describe Intra-Operative Care ❖To describe Post-Operative Care Introduction:
➢ Definition : Multimodal perioperative care pathway designed
to achieve Early Recovery for Patients undergoing Major Surgery ➢ Aims : - Hospital stay {30-50%} - Post-operative complications - Costs of Health Care Systems ➢ Focuses on : Pre- , Intra- & Post-Operative Care [A] Pre-Operative Care:
1)Patient's Education & Councelling
2)Pre-operative Carbohydrate loading; Solid food fasting= 6 hrs before surgery Liquid food fasting= 2hrs before surgery 3)Prehabilitation ; Physical,Nutritional & Psychological status [B] Intra-Operative Care 1)Minimally Invasive techniques when possible 2)Goal – Directed fluid Therapy 3)Anaesthesia : Propofol reduces Risk of Post- operative Nausea & Vomiting 4)Normothermia Maintainance [>/= 36 degree Celsius] [C] Post-Operative Care
1)Early Mobilization reduces adverse physiological effects of
Prolonged bed Rest 2)Early Feeding -reduces infectious complications -Enhances Recovery 3)Pain Management Avoid Opioids & Apply Multimodal analgesia[Paracetamol, NSAIDS] with Epidural / Spinal analgesia when indicated. Case Example : A 65 years old undergoing Colorectal Surgery follows an ERAS Protocol. What are the key interventions ?
