Enhanced recovery after surgery in children.
Enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) is a systematic approach to optimize a patient's health and improve clinical outcomes, increase patient satisfaction and decrease healthcare costs. Enhanced recovery protocols have been used across a variety of surgical disciplines and patient groups to improve patient safety and reduce hospital length of stay without increasing return visits to the system. ERAS involves the application of clinical decision making throughout the patient experience with interventions in the preoperative, perioperative and post operative phases. In addition, ERAS is multidisciplinary and the success of an ERAS program is dependent on the effort and integration of stakeholders across the healthcare system. Utilization of ERAS systems have grown across the global adult surgical community over the last three decades and adoption in pediatric surgery has only occurred recently. Hospitals in both adult and pediatric surgery have found that implementation of ERAS systems lead to a shortened length of stay and reduced complications without increasing patient returns to the system. Importantly patients who have surgery within an ERAS program experience less pain, less opioid utilization, a quicker recovery and increased satisfaction. In pediatric surgery ERAS has successfully been employed across most all disciplines from congenital cardiac surgery to colorectal surgery. The evolution of ERAS continues as a paradigm of quality and safety.
