ABSTRACT
PURPOSE OF REVIEW What are the latest enhanced recovery elements for cesarean delivery? RECENT FINDINGS:
Enhanced recovery after cesarean delivery (ERAC) provides an evidenced-based system to improve maternal outcomes, functional recovery, maternal-infant bonding, and patient experience. Postsurgical recovery has evolved from a one-dimensional pain score to a holistic multidimensional approach emphasizing faster functional recovery. ERAC involves multidisciplinary efforts of the anesthesiologist, obstetrician, nursing, hospital, and patient. Components of ERAC include preoperative patient education, limited fasting, carbohydrate load, limiting opioids intra- and postoperatively, using scheduled non-opioid analgesics and supplementing with advanced therapies for women at higher risk for pain. ERAC protocols reduce opioid consumption, reduce length of stay, and improve maternal and neonatal outcomes.SUMMARY:
Implementing ERAC standardized care will likely be the most important change you can make in your practice to improve outcomes, improve quality care, help address racial disparities, and minimize opioid exposure and potential for addiction.
