“…Foley catheters are traditionally used intraoperatively to monitor urine output for all major surgical procedures. However, use of urinary catheters is associated with multiple problems such as urethral injury during placement, increased risk for urinary tract infection, recatheterization due to retention triggered by urethral manipulation in males with benign prostatic hypertrophy (BPH), discomfort, restriction of patient mobility, and a delay in hospital discharge ( Sanchez et al, 2018 ; Tammela, Kontturi, & Lukkarinen, 1986 ). Screening occurs in the preoperative setting to determine which patients can forgo having a catheter placed at the time of surgery.…”

The Enhanced Recovery Program (ERP) is a comprehensive, multidisciplinary approach that directly impacts the functional recovery and quality of life of patients after surgery. Initiated in 2013 at The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center by the Liver Surgery group and expanded to numerous specialties, the Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery Department developed a version of Enhanced Recovery After Thoracic Surgery in 2014. The benefits gained thus far include (1) decreased postoperative complications, (2) reduced hospital length of stay, (3) decreased opioid usage, (4) decreased healthcare costs, and (5) improved patient satisfaction. This article aims to provide a brief description of the history of the enhanced recovery approach and to identify the critical elements of the program necessary for improved patient care. It is intended to serve as a practical guide for program implementation in thoracic surgery departments at other institutions.
