Anesthesiology and Pain Management

Enhanced Recovery after Surgery (ERAS)

The ERAS plan is a clinical pathway developed by Baylor Scott & White Health that helps patients by:

  • Allowing them to take part in their own recovery
  • Increasing their comfort
  • Decreasing their hospital stay
  • Preventing dehydration
  • Allowing them to eat/drink soon after surgery
  • Lowering their body’s reaction to stress

Patients who participate in the ERAS plan typically go home sooner and have fewer complications than those who do not follow the plan.
