ASCRS Guide to Enhanced Recovery Programs

Drs. Liliana Bordeianou, Eric Weiss and Joseph Carmichael explain the new ASCRS Enhanced Recovery Program Guidelines in this free video presentation, originally recorded from a live webcast. This involves every aspect of care, from preoperative evaluation to perioperative care and surgery to post-operative recovery. Learn about this multi-disciplinary approach to enhanced recovery after surgery, including:

  • Physiologic principles behind preoperative carbohydrate loading
  • Medications used in multimodal analgesia (MMA)
  • Strategies for prophylaxis of post-operative ileus
  • How to implement an ERP at your own institution
  • Benefits for all elective colorectal surgery patients—including those undergoing complex operations to reduce sub-optimal post-operative patient outcomes
