We've all heard it: "Nothing to eat or drink after midnight." But what if that long-standing rule isn't the best thing for our patients?
In this week's episode of First Case, we sit down with Lisa Spruce, Senior Director of Evidence-Based Perioperative Practice at AORN, to challenge one of the most ingrained habits in surgical care.
Together, we'll walk through the research behind Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) protocols, evidence-based practices designed to optimize patients before, during, and after surgery. From preoperative nutrition to multimodal pain management and early mobility, ERAS is helping teams across the country reduce complications, shorten recovery times, and improve outcomes.
Tune in to learn: ✅ Why strict NPO after midnight is outdated ✅ How ERAS protocols enhance safety and satisfaction ✅ Practical steps for implementing evidence-based change in your facility
Tune in to learn and together we can move past an old idea and implement evidence-based practices!
