Abstract

Objectives: To evaluate the feasibility and initial results of the application of the enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) program in trauma and orthopedics surgery at the 108 Central Military Hospital. Subjects and methods: A prospective descriptive study on 1275 patients undergoing trauma or orthopedic surgery and applying the ERAS program in the period from July 2022 to December 2022 and a retrospective descriptive study of 601 patients undergoing surgery in the period from April 2022 to June 2022, has not yet been subjected to the ERAS. Results: Overall compliance with ERAS protocol interventions ranged from 78% to 100%. The average of hospital stay is 7.07, a decrease compared to before applying ERAS. The average postoperative VAS score of the first three days was < 4 points. 100% of patients could sit up early and exercise their limbs, and 48% were trained to stand and walk early. Twenty patients (0.015%) had complications after surgery. Eight patients (0.006%) had to be hospitalized within 30 days after discharge. Conclusion: Applying the ERAS program in orthopedic trauma surgery is a feasible and safe option, reducing hospital stay and treatment costs, reducing complications, and helping patients recover early.
