Gastric Sleeve ERAS
Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) pathways promote an evidence based, multidisciplinary approach to patient care aimed at facilitating faster recovery from surgery, decreasing hospital length of stay, and minimizing post-operative complications. From scheduling through discharge, all phases of perioperative care are incorporated into ERAS pathways.
ERAS Pathway:
- Prior to surgery Algorithm
- Pre-op and intraoperative Algorithm
- Post-op PACU Algorithm
- Post-op inpatient to discharge Algorithm
- Gastric Sleeve Synopsis (provides care standards employed for this ERAS)
Additional tools associated with this ERAS:
Inclusion criteria:
- All patients undergoing a gastric sleeve procedure.

Disclaimer
This care process model does not establish a standard of care to be followed in every case. It is recognized that each case is different, and those individuals involved in providing health care are expected to use their judgment in determining what is in the best interests of the patient based on the circumstances existing at the time. It is impossible to anticipate all possible situations that may exist and to prepare care process models for each. Accordingly, this care process model should guide care with the understanding that departures from them may be required at times.
