Standardized Recommendations for the Implementation of Enhanced Recovery Protocols in Thoracic Surgery in Spain: A Delphi Consensus Study
This study establishes a structured, consensus-based perioperative management protocol for thoracic surgery patients. By optimizing perioperative care and standardizing interventions, these recommendations aim to improve clinical outcomes, enhance recovery, and raise the quality of care during thoracic surgery. They may also facilitate the broader adoption of ERAS strategies, ultimately improving patient recovery and resource utilization.
