Q

A 70kg patient was NPO for 8 hours. What is this patients calculated fluid deficit?

A

(4-2-1 rule)
40ml + 20mL + 50mL = 110mL/hr

30
Q

What are the intraoperative “Must-Haves” of the ERAS Protocol? (3)

A
  • Limited fasting
  • Carb-rich drink up to 2 hours prior to surgery
  • Opioid sparing-multimodal analgesia continuing through discharge.
31
Q

What are the postoperative “Must-Haves” of the ERAS Protocol? (3)

A
  • Ambulation within 8 hours of surgery stop time
  • Formal discharge education (incision and mobility specifically)
  • Continuation of opioid-sparing multimodal analgesia
32
Q

Can patient education vary from surgeon to surgeon according to the ERAS protocol?
