Perioperative nursing principles guided by the concept of enhanced recovery after surgery†

Abstract

Abstract Objective To explore the clinical effect of perioperative nursing guided by the concept of enhanced recovery after surgery and summarize them. Methods Pubmed, Chinese National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI), Chinese Biomedical Literature Database (CBM), Wanfang Database, and VIP Database were searched to obtain the relevant literature involving enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) guidance, obtain the effective clinical data, review the reports in literature, and obtain the effective scheme. Results Compared with the traditional nursing program, perioperative nursing principles guided by the concept of ERAS provide more accurate nursing care to patients and reduce the occurrence of intraoperative stress events through comprehensive nursing measures such as preoperative pre-rehabilitation measures, intraoperative body temperature and fluid management, postoperative analgesia, prevention of nausea and vomiting, early mobilization, catheter nursing, and better out-of-hospital follow-up. Conclusions Perioperative nursing principles guided by the concept of ERAS can significantly reduce the incidence of perioperative complications, shorten the hospital stay of patients, and promote postoperative rehabilitation of patients. The transformation and implementation of this concept can bring significant benefits to hospitals, medical care, and patients.
