CME Credit Hours: 1.5
Enhanced Recovery Protocols (ERP) have become common in colorectal surgery based on a multitude of data demonstrating improvement in surgical outcomes. A cross-disciplinary team of experts, drawn from every point of surgical care, is critical to the successful development, implementation and maintenance of ERPs. While many institutions have adopted ERPs, sustained success can be challenging and there are many unanswered questions. In this multidisciplinary symposium we will review practical tips and tricks relevant to the practicing surgeon for optimizing outcomes within Enhanced Recovery.
Objectives
At the conclusion of this session, participants should be able to:
- Identify administrative barriers and mitigation strategies for successful ERP implementation
- Recognize the differences in techniques and efficacy of various regional anesthesia modalities
- Explore the association between NSAIDs and surgical complications
- Describe the components of Prehabilitation
