ERAS - Enhanced Recovery After Surgery - in elective and emergency surgery 

@ L. Puusepa 8, Tartu 

The lecture is in English.

ERAS is a multimodal perioperative care pathway designed to achieve early recovery for patients undergoing major surgery. 

ERAS represents a paradigm shift in perioperative care in two ways. First, it re-examines traditional practices, replacing them with evidence-based best practices when necessary. Second, it is comprehensive in its scope, covering all areas of the patient’s journey through the surgical process. 

The facilitator is Dr Folke Hammarqvist, an Associate Professor in Surgery at Karolinska Institutet and Consultant at Karolinska University Hospital.
