Enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) pathways aim to improve postoperative recovery through evidence-based practices, including early ambulation, multimodal opioid-sparing analgesia, and reduction of surgical stress. This study evaluated outcomes after implementation of ERAS in patients undergoing resection for pulmonary malignancy.
A retrospective review compared outcomes for patients undergoing pulmonary resection for primary lung cancer. Analysis was performed between three periods: pre-ERAS (January 1, 2006, to December 31, 2011), transitional period with elements of ERAS (January 1, 2012, to August 31, 2015), and full implementation of ERAS (September 1, 2015, to December 31, 2016).
We analyzed 2,886 lung resections (pre-ERAS, n = 1615; transitional, n = 929; ERAS, n = 342). For all patients, length of stay decreased in the ERAS and transitional periods compared with pre-ERAS (4 [3] versus 4 [3] versus 5 [3] days, p < 0.001). Pulmonary complications were decreased with ERAS compared with transitional and pre-ERAS (19.9% versus 28.2% versus 28.7%, p = 0.004). Cardiac complications decreased with ERAS (12.3% versus 13.1% versus 18.1%, p = 0.001). There was less thoracic epidural use (2.9% versus 44.5% versus 75.5%, p < 0.001). There were no differences in hospital readmission (p = 0.772) or mortality rates (p = 0.417). After thoracotomy, ERAS was associated with decreased length of stay, fewer intensive care unit readmissions, and decreased frequency of pneumonia, atrial arrhythmias, and need for home oxygen (all p < 0.05). ERAS was independently associated with decreased pulmonary (p = 0.046) and cardiac (p = 0.001) complications on logistic regression after thoracotomy but not minimally invasive operations.
ERAS was associated with improved postoperative outcomes, including decreased length of stay and pulmonary and cardiac morbidity after thoracotomy, but not after minimally invasive operations. ERAS safety was demonstrated by low rates of adverse events without effect on hospital readmission or perioperative deaths.
