Background: Enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) protocols strive to optimise outcomes following elective surgery; however, there is a dearth of evidence to support its equitable application and efficacy internationally.
Materials And Methods: The authors performed a systematic review and meta-analysis of studies on the uptake and impact of ERAS with the aim of highlighting differences in implementation and outcomes across high-income countries (HICs) and low-middle income countries (LMICs). The primary outcome was characterisation of global ERAS uptake.
Importance: Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) guidelines and the World Health Organization Surgical Safety Checklist (SSC) are 2 well-established tools for optimizing patient outcomes perioperatively.
Objective: To integrate the 2 tools to facilitate key perioperative decision-making.
Evidence Review: Snowball sampling recruited international ERAS users from multiple clinical specialties.
Background: This is the first Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS®) Society guideline for primary and secondary hospitals in low-middle-income countries (LMIC's) for elective abdominal and gynecologic care.
Methods: The ERAS LMIC Guidelines group was established by the ERAS® Society in collaboration with different representatives of perioperative care from LMIC's. The group consisted of seven members from the ERAS® Society and eight members from LMIC's.
Background: Colorectal surgery is commonly performed for benign and malignant colorectal disease. The aim of this study was to describe length of stay (LOS), complications and its associated factors in patients undergoing elective colorectal surgery following implementation of an enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) programme in South Africa (SA).
Methods: Socio-demographic, pre- intra- and postoperative clinical details and compliance to the ERAS guidelines were recorded in all patients undergoing colorectal surgery in a private practice in Cape Town, SA.
