Abstract
Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) protocols represent a contemporary, evidence-based strategy for optimizing perioperative care to enhance patient outcomes through a standardized approach. While ERAS protocols have demonstrated significant benefits across a range of surgical specialties, specific guidelines tailored for cardiothoracic transplantation have yet to be developed. Given the unique complexity and heightened vulnerability of transplant patients, the implementation of ERAS principles in this context could potentially mitigate postoperative complications, reduce the length of hospital stays, and facilitate improved recovery trajectories. This review highlights the critical importance of adapting and applying ERAS methodologies in cardiothoracic transplantation to achieve improved surgical outcomes and elevate patient quality of life.
期刊介绍：
The aim of the journal is to serve as a forum for the exchange of scientific information in the form of original and high quality papers in the field of transplantation. Clinical and experimental studies, as well as editorials, letters to the editors, and, occasionally, reviews on the biology, physiology, and immunology of transplantation of tissues and organs, are published. Publishing time for the latter is approximately six months, provided major revisions are not needed. The journal is published in yearly volumes, each volume containing twelve issues. Papers submitted to the journal are subject to peer review.
