Preoperative optimisation in fast-track and enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) programs for total hip and knee joint replacement: a systematic review protocol
Abstract:Introduction:
Emerging evidence suggests that fast-track and enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) targeting modifiable risk factors reduce complications after total hip (THR) and knee replacement (TKR). However, what constitutes an effective preoperative optimisation protocol for THR and TKR remains unclear. The aims are to: (1) describe pre-operative optimisation protocols for THR and TKR; (2) evaluate the effects of pre-operative optimisation protocols for THR and TKR on morbidity, and patient-reported out… Show more
