Article Synopsis
- Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) pathways lead to better clinical outcomes, lower costs, and higher patient satisfaction in various surgical fields, including a growing application in cardiac surgery.
- In a study involving 102 patients and comparing their outcomes with pre-ERAS controls, ERAS patients demonstrated significantly shorter median ventilation times, ICU stays, and hospital lengths of stay, indicating improved recovery.
- Although the initial results are promising and show no negative impact on patient outcomes, further research is needed to confirm the long-term effectiveness of ERAS protocols in cardiac surgery.
Background: Functional status is an important predictor of outcomes after infrainguinal bypass surgery. There are little data on the effect of functional status on the outcomes of endovascular lower extremity interventions, especially in the elderly frail population.
Methods: This is a retrospective analysis of the American College of Surgeons - National Surgical Quality Improvement Program files for the years 2011-2013 to assess the impact of functional status on outcome after endovascular intervention for critical limb ischemia (CLI).
Kv1.4 channels are Shaker-related voltage-gated potassium channels with two distinct inactivation mechanisms. Fast N-type inactivation operates by a ball-and-chain mechanism.
