ENHANCED RECOVERY PATHWAY IN GYNAECOLOGICAL SURGERIES: ARE WE PRACTISING IT IN OUR LOCAL SETTING?

Abstract

Enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) pathway is an established evidence-based standard practice. It reduces physiological stress and organ dysfunction associated with elective surgeries, and also reduces the hospital stay, surgical complications and health care expenditure. Many hospitals throughout the country follow some of its elements, but not as a hospital protocol. Regular auditing to see the adherence to ERAS pathway is essential to ensure the efficacy of the health system and patients’ safety.
