Enhanced recovery after surgery in head and neck surgery: Reduced opioid use and length of stay

The Laryngoscope Jul 24, 2019

Jandali DB, et al. - In this retrospective cohort study, researchers assessed narcotic usage and length of stay after the implementation of an enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) protocol in addition to several other outcomes. Mean morphine equivalent dose, mean pain score, and percentage of patients prescribed narcotics on discharge were included outcomes. ICU and a total length of stay were secondary outcomes included. For ERAS patients, the average length of stay was shorter but there was no significant difference in the length of stay of ICU. Patients undergoing head and neck surgery had decreased narcotic use in the immediate postoperative period and at discharge following the implementation of an ERAS protocol, while also showing improved postoperative analgesia.
