What Is ERAS (Enhanced Recovery After Surgery)?
ERAS is an evidence-based, multidisciplinary approach designed to reduce surgical stress, shorten hospital stay, and improve patient recovery by optimizing care before, during, and after surgery.
ERAS focuses on recovery—not just the operation.
Why ERAS Programs Are Important in Modern Hospitals
Traditional surgical care often resulted in:
❌ Prolonged bed rest
❌ Delayed oral intake
❌ Excessive IV fluids
❌ Longer hospital stay
ERAS replaces outdated practices with science-based recovery protocols.
Core Principles of ERAS

Prepared patients heal faster.
🔹 Reduced Fasting

Prevents dehydration and weakness.
ERAS Protocol – Intra-Operative Phase
