Clinical significance of enhanced recovery after surgery is not only to shorten the duration of hospital stay

Enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) has developed continuously in China for 10 years, including optimizing step by step the perioperative analgesia regimens and goaloriented fluid therapy. The ERAS principle has been accepted and expanded extensively in the surgery field, meanwhile, ERAS for perioperative care have been proved valueble in shortening hospital stay, reducing complications, improving organ function, reducing surgical stress reaction, accelerating recovery and increasing survival rate. ERAS is in the ascendant, and promotes development of multidisciplinary training and education program, supples of highquality research evidences and translational clinical applications seem to be the direction of ERAS. And therefore, the content that this paper talks about is of 〖JP4〗great significance to deepen the research and understanding of ERAS.
