Enhanced Recovery after Surgery cover

This book provides up-to-date information and practical approaches to Enhanced Recovery after Surgery (ERAS) programs for digestive and / or cardiopulmonary surgery.

ERAS programs following surgical interventions are now part of the standard of care for patients undergoing various operative procedures. These programs have been associated with reductions in complications, in length of hospital stay after surgery and in related costs, and have led to improved patient QOL.

Enhanced Recovery after Surgery discusses a range of aspects of the program, from surgical procedure to perioperative management. Each chapter is written by experts in the field, including digestive, cardiopulmonary and pediatric surgeons.

It is a valuable resource for surgeons, nurses and administrators interested in initiating an ERAS program. 

“The audience includes all practitioners involved in preoperative and postoperative care. The book is also a worthwhile read for physicians in training as it provides an evidence‐based platform to challenge archaic concepts … . This is a comprehensive book on newer and protocol‐driven care of surgical patients. It is unique in that it expands on the protocols already in place for colorectal surgery to include recommendations for other types of surgeries, including esophageal, gastric, cardiac, and vascular.” (Peter Nau, Doody's Book Reviews, April, 2018)
