Abstract
Enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) or enhanced recovery protocols (ERP) is a concept first described by Kehlet in the early 1990’s. The approach employs a multimodal peri-operative care pathway designed to attenuate the surgical stress response and accelerate post-operative recovery. Implementation of ERPs across a range of surgical disciplines has led to improved patient outcomes including reductions in post-operative complications and hospital length of stay. Since its introduction 15 years ago, enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) protocols have been successfully used in elective gastrointestinal surgery (colorectal, hepatobiliary and gastric), and, there has been widespread acceptance and implementation in other surgical disciplines too (urology, vascular, thoracic and orthopaedics). The benefits of ERAS/ERPs are well established. They have shown faster physiological patient recovery, and reduced length of hospital stay without an increase in complications. So here in Coimbatore Medical College and Hospital a comparative study is done between ERAS and conventional postoperative care in elective major gastrointestinal surgeries, and to compare the results based on the morbidity, length of hospital stay and complications. This is a prospective cohort study, the duration of study is a period of 1 year, and for 50 patients who have undergone elective gastrointestinal surgeries.
