Enhanced Recovery in a Minimally Invasive Thoracic Surgery Program
What is already known:
ERAS for thoracic surgery is relatively new with limited amount of research in this area.
What this paper adds:
The author is a nurse at Inova Fairfax Hospital in Virginia and describes how their institution set up their ERAS program. There is a strong emphasis on the nursing perspective, but readers from all disciplines would benefit from reading this review. She discusses the barriers they faced when starting the program and also reports clinical outcomes as well as patient reported outcomes including satisfaction.
