The concept of enhanced recovery after surgery(ERAS) has been well accepted by medical providers, which can be realized by a multidisciplinary team approach and minimally invasive surgical technology performed during perioperative periods. As the outcomes of the ERAS protocols, well effects are anticipated, and consistent outcomes are actually obtained. At the same time, there are some aspects which are not consistent including ① the evolution and challenge of ERAS concept:connotation and extension, ② consensus and arguments on the evaluation standard of ERAS protocol, ③ the cause of poorly compliance in medical providers and patient, ④ the function of multimodal programme and multidisciplinary team approach in ERAS protocol, which one is better? ⑤ methods and barriers of implementing enhanced recovery in clinic application.
Neonates represent a unique population with distinct physiological characteristics. The application of Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) principles in neonatal care remains in its early developmental stages. In 2024, the ERAS Society published evidence-based perioperative care recommendations tailored for neonates undergoing non-cardiac surgical procedures. These recommendations are intended to be implemented within the Neonatal Intensive Care Units (NICUs). This article provides an interpretation of the guideline, aiming to establish a reference framework for implementing ERAS in neonatal surgical care .
