Most hospitals doing ERAS are doing it with genuine commitment. The question is: do they know how well?
Dr Bonnie Kyle, Consultant in Cardiothoracic Anaesthesia, at Barts Health NHS Trust, has spent three years building one of the UK’s most committed ERAS cardiac surgery programs. Around 1,200 patients. Real clinical results. And a clear-eyed view of what they still could not see.
In this short interview, she talks about what drove that commitment, what a structured audit system changes in practice, and what she would say to other centers doing ERAS their own way.
“To do ERAS® properly, you really need to understand that it is the entire perioperative pathway.”
Barts is now working toward ERAS® Qualification. We are proud to support that journey.
