ERAS including minimal Narcotic Pain Management Is Successful After Heart Transplant and LVAD Implantation: A Single Center Review
For heart transplant and LVAD surgery, ERAS reduced opioid consumption, preserved mechanical ventilation time, and limited acute delirium. ERAS limited postoperative opioid induced gastroparesis while preserving acceptable pain scores, maintained the length of hospitalization, and prevented unnecessary opioid prescribing at discharge up to and including 30 days thereafter.
