Focused Review of Enhanced Recovery After Abdominal Trauma Surgery in the Pediatric Population and Development of a Pediatric Enhanced Recovery After Trauma Surgery Pathway

Paediatr AnaesthPublished Focused review

Authors' conclusion

We propose a pediatric enhanced recovery after trauma surgery pathway, which highlights several principles of ERAS pathways (multimodal analgesia, goal-directed fluid therapy, early initiation of nutrition, timely administration of antibiotics, avoidance of hypothermia, DVT prophylaxis, the early removal of drains and indwelling catheters, and patient education).
