Aim: Most of the literature on the environmental impact of surgery has analysed operating theatre practice in terms of its contribution to global warming (by greenhouse gas effects). The aim of this study was to assess the overall environmental impact of a complete perioperative pathway with and without implementation of an enhanced recovery programme (ERP).
Method: We compared two scenarios: an ERP scenario and a conventional scenario (CONV) for colorectal surgery.
Article Synopsis
- High compliance with enhanced recovery programs (ERP) is correlated with better healthcare outcomes, specifically in liver surgery (LS) patients.
- A study analyzed 706 LS patients and found that those with over 70% ERP compliance had significantly higher rates of achieving textbook outcomes (TO) compared to those with lower compliance.
- Key factors negatively affecting TO achievement included having cholangiocarcinoma, undergoing high complexity LS, experiencing intraoperative hypotension, and suffering from postoperative ileus.
Objective: To issue recommendations for reduced energy consumption in controlled environment zones (CEZ) in operating theaters and interventional sectors.
Design: A committee bringing together seven experts from the SFAR, AFC, SF2H, ASPEC and SOFCOT was convened by CERES. A conflict-of-interest statement was developed at the beginning of the process and enforced throughout the elaboration of the reference document.
