ERAS – Enhanced Recovery After Surgery

ERAS Program in Mukundapur Kolkata

Enhanced Recovery After Surgery is a multidisciplinary, patient-centric approach aimed at reducing mental and physical stress responses in patients who have undergone surgery. This comprehensive patient-care approach looks over all aspects of surgery – from pre-hospitalisation, pre-surgery, intra-surgery, and post-surgery all the way to discharge, home care and recovery. 

How it Works

Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) is a comprehensive, evidence-based patient care approach that is customised according to each patient’s individual needs. This multidisciplinary approach aims to address post-surgical stress response in patients to fasten recovery rate and improve patient outcomes. ERAS was designed to enhance traditional surgical practices by replacing outdated guidelines and methods with well-researched, evidence-based interventions developed in co-ordination among doctors, nurses, physiotherapists and dieticians, along with the patient.  

ERAS’ core principles lay on preventing post-surgical complications (like infection, cardiac events or thromboembolism), shortening hospital stay, optimizing physiological function and enhancing all-over patient satisfaction. 

Components of ERAS 

ERAS is a comprehensive approach whose protocols revolve around pre-operative, intra-operative and post-operative stages. 

Pre-operative Stage

  • Educating patients and family members for transparency and encouraging participation.

  • Specialised diet 5-7 days before surgery.

  • Physical exercise to improve functionality. 

  • Essential lifestyle modulations like anaemia management, and alcohol and smoking cessation. 

  • Pre-anaesthesia dietary modifications. 

Intra-operative Stage 

  • Using minimally-invasive procedures wherever possible.

  • Fluid management and reducing excess blood loss.

  • Replacing opioid with multimodal pain-management. 

Post-operative Stage

  • Physiotherapy to facilitate mobilisation.

  • Resuming normal diet and daily activities at the earliest.

  • Removing catheters and drains as soon as clinically approved. 

Benefits of ERAS 

  • ERAS offers a range of benefits, such as:

  • Reduction in surgical stress.

  • Patients experiencing shortened hospital stays and faster recovery.

  • Lower risk of complications associated with surgery.

  • Improved patient satisfaction.

FAQ's

ERAS is a multidisciplinary approach that is designed to reduce physiological stress response in patients who underwent surgery. It combines modern medical techniques in anaesthesia, pain control and rehabilitation to improve patient outcomes. 

Traditional surgeries often involve measures like heavy opioid use for pain management, longer recovery period delaying return to regular activities, longer periods of fasting, and delayed feeding after surgery. ERAS prioritises shortened fasting periods, early nutrition, multimodal pain management approach to reduce opioid use and faster return to normal activity, significantly improving patient response and satisfaction. 

ERAS is most commonly implemented in major surgical areas, Coronary artery bypass surgery, valve surgery & surgery for congenital defects.

ERAS is an extensively researched clinical approach putting significant priority towards pain management. It focuses on bypassing use of opioids by using measures like regional anaesthesia, non-opioid medications and anti-inflammatory drugs. This helps prevent complications like nausea, drowsiness and digestive issues. 

Following specific pre-surgery nutrition guidelines, smoking cessation, performing light activities like walking and similar exercise following surgery and practicing breathing exercises to improve lung function are certain measures that should be taken by patients.
