This document discusses Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS), which aims to standardize care to reduce recovery time after surgery. It outlines the concept developed by Dr. Henrik Kehlet to address factors that cause delayed recovery after surgery. The key components of ERAS include optimization of care before, during, and after surgery through measures such as counseling, carbohydrate loading, minimized fluid use, early mobilization and diet to reduce length of stay and complications. Regular audit of outcomes and reassessment of the ERAS protocol are emphasized.
