ERAS® is short for Enhanced Recovery After Surgery. The ERAS definition refers to a multimodal perioperative care pathway or protocol designed to achieve early recovery for patients undergoing major surgery.
ERAS® is:

Patient-centered
Multi-modal
Multi-disciplinary
Evidence-based

Numerous research reports have shown that employing ERAS as opposed to traditional care has marked effects on recovery. In many events, recovery time can be shortened by 30% or more, and complication rates after the surgery by at least as much.
The ERAS® guidelines are developed by the ERAS® Society, which is an international, professional non-profit organization. It was founded in 2010 with the mission to “develop perioperative care and to improve recovery through research, audit, education, and implementation of evidence-based practice.”

By working together using the most up-to-date evidence, clinical teams can coordinate their care processes more effectively, reducing the risk of clinical variation and improving compliance to the ERAS program by gathering prospective data to …
