Background: The impact of post-surgical same day ambulation in lung resection patients is relatively unstudied. We sought to determine the relationship between day of surgery ambulation and postoperative outcomes after lung resection.
Methods: This was a prospective cohort study at one healthcare system with six hospitals (1/2019-3/2023).
Background: Benefits of thoracic enhanced recovery after surgery programs have been described. However, there is ongoing discussion on the importance of full protocol compliance. The objective of this study was to determine whether strict adherence to an enhanced recovery after surgery protocol leads to further improvement in outcomes compared with less strict compliance.

Background: The effect of implementing the ERAS Society/European Society of Thoracic Surgery thoracic ERAS protocol on postoperative outcomes throughout an entire health care system has not yet been reported.
Methods: This was a prospective cohort study within one health care system (January 2019-March, 2023).
Introduction: Compliance with thoracic Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) protocols is critical to achieving their maximum benefits. We sought to examine utilization of quality review meetings as a method to improve protocol compliance through identification and resolution of barriers with compliance.
Methods: A multidisciplinary committee implemented a thoracic ERAS protocol for anatomic lung resections across five hospitals within our health system.
