Enhanced recovery after surgery pathway leads to decreased length of stay for patients undergoing minimally invasive lung resection

CONCLUSIONS: The implementation of an ERAS protocol led to decreased LOS and decreased ICU admission in patients undergoing minimally invasive lung resection. Process standardization optimizes performance by providers by decreasing decision fatigue and improving decision making, which may contribute to the improved outcomes observed in this study.PMID:38505051 | PMC:PMC10944727 | DOI:10.21037/jtd-23-1500
