Evaluation of the impact of enhanced recovery after surgery protocol implementation on maternal outcomes following elective caesarean delivery

We applaud Kleinman et al. for their positive findings after the implementation of an enhanced recovery programme after caesarean delivery.1 Since Henrik Kehlet introduced us to the world of fast-track surgery or enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS), we have seen some impressive improvements in patient quality of care.2 Many surgical specialities have introduced specific ERAS programmes and the Society for Obstetric Anesthesia and Perinatology (SOAP) has recently created a consensus statement advocating the benefits of its implementation after caesarean delivery.
