ERAS® stands for Enhanced Recovery after Surgery, and we improve surgical care and recovery through research, education, audit, and implementation of evidence-based practices. In early 2017, a group of cardiac surgeons, anesthesiologists, and intensivists first met to establish the Enhanced Recovery After Cardiac Surgery (ERACS) Society to achieve these goals for patients undergoing heart surgery. This initial organization’s work led to the publication of the first-ever expert consensus recommendations for a cardiac surgical enhanced recovery protocol. We have since joined with the ERAS® Society and have established an organization of multinational experts representing all aspects of healthcare delivery.
