Core Tip
Core Tip: Data of 115 gastrointestinal surgery patients were analyzed. Patients were divided into the enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) group and the control group according to different nursing modes. The postoperative outcomes of these patients, such as recovery status and medical expense indicators, were compared. A self-designed questionnaire survey was used to evaluate the cognitive level of medical staff toward ERAS and the factors that hinder the implementation of ERAS. ERAS significantly shortened the time for patients to move out of bed for the first time and eat for the first time after surgery. The understanding of ERAS among medical stuff is related to their education level, work experience, and ERAS training experience.
