This piece, originally streamed live on www.topmedtalk.com features a conversation about the implementation of enhanced recovery protocols and the results practitioners report. The discussion starts with the observation that just implementing the ERAS intraoperative protocols drove outstanding outcomes in practice. The wider discussion focuses on the importance of putting into practice a bigger plan.

Presented by Desiree Chappell with her guests Raul Castillo, Anesthesia Medical Director at the University of Missouri Hospital, Jennifer Clark, Staff Nurse Anesthetist at the University of Missouri Hospital Department of Anesthesiology, and Kay Smith, pain nurse coordinator University of Missouri Hospital.
