Summary
This multihospital prospective study in Surgery aimed to determine whether strict adherence to an enhanced recovery after surgery protocol leads to improvement in outcomes, compared with less strict compliance. The study looked at all consecutive anatomic lung resection patients on the thoracic enhanced recovery after surgery pathway from May 2021 to March 2023 and compared this cohort with a historical control from January 2019 to April 2021. The authors found that enhanced recovery after surgery protocols improve outcomes after anatomic lung resection, and that increasing compliance to individual elements further improves patient outcomes. They argue that continued efforts should be directed at increasing compliance to individual protocol elements.
