ERAS represents a new way of thinking about how we look after patients undergoing major surgery. It helps patients recover from their operation sooner, so that life can return to normal as quickly as possible. ERAS is a treatment program made up of a number of different elements based on the Introduction Fast track methodology or enhanced recovery schemes have gained increasing popularity in perioperative care.
