The concept of enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) has gained gratifying achievements in clinical practice, but there are still many disputes and incompatibilities in its application. The reasons for this phenomenon are multifaceted, is evident at multilevels and needs further exploration and improvement.By combining previous studies and our clinical experience, we propose an enhanced concept of ERAS, i.e., precision organ function protection (POFP) for ERAS to promote lasting rehabilitation of patients after surgery. We prefer to use "important organ function outcomes" (IOFOs) as the clinical target of ERAS. Perioperative optimal organ function preservation by using a series of techniques can help patients recover quickly and return to baseline function as soon as possible. This concept has greatly expanded the connotation of the traditional ERAS, whose core idea was reducing stress, providing analgesia and humane care.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
