Abstract

The uptake of pediatric Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS®) protocols has gradually increased over the years. While many teams have accepted ERAS® protocols for their improvement in clinical outcomes, there are further domains of care that may be strengthened by the adoption of ERAS®. Enhanced Recovery After Surgery® principles provide the framework for coordinating care among the increasingly complex clinical team required to look after pediatric patients. Engaging our pediatric patients and their families throughout the ERAS® process has multiple benefits. Involving patients in the development and implementation process of ERAS® protocols creates more robust guidelines. In addition, engaged patients have greater compliance to recommendations and improved outcomes. The adoption of pediatric ERAS® guidelines enhances pediatric surgical outcomes, establishes strong teamwork, communication and care coordination and reinforces the patient and family needs as a top priority.
