TopMedTalks to... Henrik Kehlet: The evolution and challenges of Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) | #ANES24
This important piece shines a light on the evolution and challenges of Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS). If you’ve never listened to TopMedTalk, this is a great place to start. If you’ve listened before it’s possible you’ve heard us talking with excitement about today’s guest, we hope you find this session to be worth the wait. Hear how our guest's insights on the need for an understanding of the pathophysiological basis and integrated pre-, intra- and post-operative care for the best patient centered outcomes. We cover the concept of “DReaMing” (Drinking, Eating, Mobilizing) as both a goal and measure of recovery; it simplifies complex pathways, encouraging a focus on practical, patient-centered outcomes while reminding us to investigate barriers when these aren’t achieved. Also, listen to our timely discussion regarding the misinterpretation of fluid management—shifting from avoiding overload to outright restriction—reiterating the importance of precision and nuance in applying guidelines. Can these approaches then be turned into individualized risk assessments, which bridge the gap between protocolization and personalization? Finally there's a powerful call for increased post-discharge research, to monitor and mitigate challenges like fatigue and pain. Recovery does not stop at hospital discharge. Presented by Desiree Chappell, Mike Grocott and Monty Mythen with their guest, Henrik Kehlet, Professor of Surgery at Copenhagen University and Professor of Perioperative Therapy at Rigshospitalet, Copenhagen University, Denmark. He is also an Honorary Fellow of the Royal College of Anaesthetists, UK, the American College of Surgeons, the American Surgical Association, the German Surgical Society, the German Anaesthesiological Society and American Society of Anesthesiology. Professor Kehlet has published more than 1,250 scientific articles and has given more than 300 invited lectures at international scientific meetings, several honorary lectures including the ASA Excellence in Research Award 2014. He was the first recipient of the BJS Society Award 2023. Like this? Want more?
