Abstract

Despite significant improvements in perioperative care, major surgery is still associated with major complications. Enhanced recovery after surgery was introduced by the National Health Service in the UK with the aim of improving patient outcomes and reducing length of stay in hospital. The degree of applicability differs between surgical specialties, and in thoracic surgery it has not been developed until recently. We have therefore reviewed recent literature specific to thoracic surgery, and will discuss key elements of the design, implementation and monitoring of an enhanced recovery (ER) program based on our recent experience. The program is divided into several high impact intervention measures that involve the preoperative, intraoperative and postoperative periods. Physical activity promotion and educational programs that provide information about the surgery and the surgical pathway are an essential part of the preoperative strategies. During surgery, an optimal pain control strategy, antibiotic prophylaxis and protective ventilation are important. Minimally invasive surgery and well-planned postoperative care including early drain removal and planned discharge are also important. Overall, we have shown that ER in thoracic surgery can facilitate early discharge from hospital and possibly reduce postoperative complications. Further studies are required to understand the extent of ER benefits when applied to thoracic surgery, and to test individual components in a prospective manner.
