Abstract:
Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) protocols represent a contemporary, evidence-based strategy for optimizing perioperative care to enhance patient outcomes through a standardized approach. While ERAS protocols have demonstrated significant benefits across a range of surgical specialties, specific guidelines tailored for cardiothoracic transplantation have yet to be developed. Given the unique complexity and heightened vulnerability of transplant patients, the implementation of ERAS principles in this context could potentially mitigate postoperative complications, reduce the length of hospital stays, and facilitate improved recovery trajectories. This review highlights the critical importance of adapting and applying ERAS methodologies in cardiothoracic transplantation to achieve improved surgical outcomes and elevate patient quality of life.
