Enhanced Recovery After Surgery Protocol on Early Mobilization After Colorectal Surgery

Early mobilization is an important factor in increasing postoperative colorectal surgeries outcome. There are four components held by anesthesiologist in ERAS protocol for colorectal surgery in our hospital: PONV prophylaxis, intraoperative fluid management, intraoperative multimodal analgesia, and postoperative opioid-free pain management. Although early mobilization affected by postoperative pain, vomiting and nausea, and fluid balance management, nonetheless, there is no clear evidence of how much each of these components will affect early mobilization. This study was a retrospective cohort study by collecting secondary data from patients underwent elective colorectal surgery in our hospital from January 2020 to December 2022. The outcomes assessed were early mobilization rate and factors affecting it (PONV prophylaxis, intraoperative fluid management, intraoperative multimodal analgesia, and postoperative opioid-free pain management).
