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.
Article Synopsis
- Trochanteric bursitis, a common issue after total hip replacement (THR), can significantly impact a patient's quality of life; excising the trochanteric bursa might help prevent this complication.
- A study evaluated whether performing trochanteric bursectomy at the same time as THR reduces the occurrence of post-operative bursitis by comparing outcomes from 954 patients over 11 years.
- Findings showed that bursectomy did not significantly lower the incidence of post-operative bursitis, though it did help some patients with existing bursitis and hip osteoarthritis during surgery.
Context: Right ventricular (RV) dysfunction occurs after lung resection and is associated with postoperative morbidity. Noninvasive evaluation of the RV is challenging, particularly in the postoperative period. A reliable measure of RV function would have value in this population.
