Enhanced recovery after thoracic surgery in low- and middle-income countries: Feasibility and outcomes.

Background: Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) applies multimodal, perioperative, and evidence-based practices to decrease postoperative morbi-mortality, the length of hospital stay, and hospitalization costs.
