Summary

This study aims to evaluate the clinical effectiveness of the Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) program for pediatric lung surgery at our institution.

Detailed description

Using a prospective cohort design, we will observe pediatric patients undergoing lung surgery following the implementation of the ERAS program as standard practice. Outcomes will be compared with a historical control group (2014-2023) to assess whether ERAS reduces hospital length of stay, lowers postoperative complication rates, accelerates recovery, and decreases healthcare costs.

Conditions

• Lung Surgery
• Enhanced Recovery After Surgery, ERAS
• Pediatric
