Abstract:
Despite modern perioperative care, postoperative complications continue to play a significant role in patient's recovery. Implementation of enhanced recovery pathways has consistently demonstrated better outcomes, reduced complications, and improved length of stay across the globe. However, the literature is scarce with regard to the peaks and valleys encountered during the implementation of these programs in Latin America. The purpose of this review is to shed light on the development and establishment of enhanced recovery pathways in the region. Moreover, it discusses current challenges and future perspectives on perioperative optimization.
