Implementing ERAS can significantly reduce hospital stay lengths

In Ethiopia, adherence to Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) guidelines was achieved in 65.2% of cases among 555 patients reviewed. The study revealed that following all five ERAS recommendations led to a remarkable reduction of approximately 5 days in postoperative hospital length of stay (LOS), with early mobilization and prompt feeding showing consistent decreases across procedures. This indicates that even limited ERAS implementation can enhance recovery outcomes in resource-constrained environments.
