Enhanced Recovery After Surgery Symposium: Implementing Change and New Standard of Care in Surgery 2018
OVERVIEW
Enhanced Recovery After Surgery Symposium: Implementing Change and New Standard of Care in Surgery is organized by University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center and will be held during Feb 12 - 13, 2018 at University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center, Houston, Texas, United States Of America.
The target audience for this medical event is for surgeons, anesthesiologists, preoperative- and postoperative nurses, dietitians and nutritionists, statisticians, pain management specialists, hospital administrators, and trainees. This CME Conference has been approved with a maximum of 15.25 AMA PRA Category 1 Credits.
Conference description:
Enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) programs aim to hasten functional recovery and improve postoperative outcomes. ERAS programs are associated with shorter length of hospital stay, a reduction in overall health care costs, and improvements in patient satisfaction.
The key to the success of an ERAS program involves preoperative, intraoperative, and postoperative strategies including; pre-admission counseling, avoidance of preoperative bowel preparation, use of opioid-sparing multimodal perioperative analgesia (including loco-regional analgesia), intraoperative goal-directed fluid therapy (GDT), and use of minimally invasive surgical techniques with avoidance of routine use of nasogastric tube, drains and/or catheters. Postoperatively, it is important to encourage early feeding, early mobilization, timely removal of tubes and drains, if present, and function oriented multimodal analgesia regimens.
The activity is designed to change the outcomes of patients undergoing surgery and the expected outcome is to see the implementation of ERAS programs in other centers with the goal of achieving a high level of compliance with all items of the ERAS guidelines. This conference will also open opportunities for surgeons to collaborate on future projects related to ERAS outcomes.
Successful implementation of an ERAS program requires a multidisciplinary team effort and active participation of the patient in their goal-oriented functional recovery program.
Conference Objectives :
• Utilize the basic principles of ERAS guidelines and the steps to implement such goals in their surgical program to improve patient care (Knowledge, Competence, Performance, Patient Outcomes)
• Assess the elements regarding preoperative patient education, carbohydrate loading and prehabilitation (Knowledge, Competence)
• Understand the principles of ideal anesthesia guidelines including use of total intravenous anesthesia, goaldirected fluid therapy, euvolemia and opioid reduction (Knowledge)
• Understand the assessment of Patient Reported Outcomes (PROs) in patients undergoing gynecologic surgery (Knowledge, Competence, Performance, Patient Outcomes)
• Understand how to create a database and integrate all elements of data collection, storage, and analysis (Knowledge, Competence)
