Abstract:
Enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) is a new way of working where evidence-based care elements are assembled to form a care pathway involving the patient's entire journey through surgery. Many elements included in ERAS have stress-reducing effects on the body or helps avoid side effects associated with alternative treatment options. This leads to less overall stress from the injury caused by the operation and helps facilitate recovery. In old, frail patients with concomitant diseases and less physical reserves, this may help explain why the ERAS care is reported to be beneficial for this specific patient group.
