Introduction: The aim of this study was to analyze the rate of enhanced recovery programs (ERP) implementation in a range of surgical specialties in both the public and private sectors.
Methods: This was a retrospective longitudinal study based on hospital stays between March to December 2019. We studied thirteen of the activity segments most frequently included in ERP protocol.

This study aimed to develop an ultra-high-performance liquid chromatography-tandem spectrometry method for the simultaneous quantification of 14 psychotropic drugs in human plasma and 4 in breast milk.
Methods: The samples were precipitated with methanol containing the stable isotope-labeled analogs.
Background: The optimal approach to improving patient experience and analgesia after ambulatory orthopaedic surgery remains unclear.
Methods: This multicentre, randomised clinical trial compared single-injection nerve block analgesia with home delivery of continuous nerve block analgesia by remote-controlled electronic pump. The primary outcome was patient-reported satisfaction (Evaluation du Vecu de l'Anesthesie Generale [EVAN-G]; 0-100) assessed on postoperative Day 2.
