Abstract

The ERAS protocols (Enhanced Recovery After Surgery) have been based on concepts in the utilization of tools in the perioperative period and often supported by scientific evidence. These are a set of multimodal perioperative strategies that aim to reduce the time of hospitalization, recovery, complications and costs associated with different surgical procedures.


Multiple interventions are required for its implementation: anesthetic, surgical, functional, nutritional and nursing interventions. There is a strong body of evidence supporting its application in the daily  practice, but there are multiple barriers that have limited its development in the hospitals. This review intends to highlight the difficulties of the applications of the nutritional components involved in these protocols, not only by experience but also by the scientific evidence.


The objective of this review is to give some recommendations that can be used in these protocols in the daily hospital practice.
