Season 11 Rewind – Going Beyond Opioids: Implementing ERAS Pathways

A new season of First Case is coming soon! Until then, we’re bringing some Season 11 favorites back for another listen.

Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) Pathways are changing the surgical experience for our patients. Our surgical patients are experiencing shorter lengths of stay, decreased postoperative pain, a more rapid return of bowel function, and decreased readmission rates. Joining us today to provide more insight into the implementation and benefits of ERAS pathways is Kim Duggan, Senior Director and ERAS Specialist at Pacira Biosciences. Tune in to hear Kim’s personal experience establishing ERAS pathways at her facility, learn what barriers she faced, and how she succeeded. We’ll also learn more about one of the non-opioid medications commonly used to provide long-term pain relief for our surgical patients. Tune in for more!
