Enhanced Recovery After Surgery

Enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) protocols exist to optimize perioperative care for patients of all ages. The efficacy of ERAS protocols has been studied in various surgical specialties, including pediatric surgery and otolaryngology, but its role in pediatric otolaryngology has not been widely demonstrated in the literature. This review article attempts to assess the current state of ERAS within otolaryngology, pediatric surgery, and more specifically, pediatric otolaryngology to identify opportunities for future development and utilization.
