Abstract
APARICIO MORALES, Antonio Ismael; AGUERO MARTINEZ, María Oslaida; BERNAL GONZALEZ, Mario de Jesús and RIZO FIALLO, Yaima. Intensified Recovery Protocol during Brachial Plexus Surgery (RIPLEX). Rev. Cuban de Anestesiol y Reanim [online]. 2023, vol.22 Epub Apr 20, 2023. ISSN 1726-6718.
Introduction:
Restoration of upper limb function in patients suffering from brachial plexus injuries, in view of favoring improvement in their quality of life or their social and labor reinsertion, can be optimized by means of implementing multimodal, multidisciplinary, intensified or enhanced recovery programs with high qualitative standards, called ERAS (enhanced recovery after surgery) protocols. The use of methods based on the best available scientific evidence is recommended. The protocol presented here is applied at Complejo Científico Ortopédico Internacional “Frank Paísˮ and derived from an ongoing institutional research.
Objective:
To contribute to the development of scientific knowledge essential to favor the introduction and systematization of multimodal perioperative care during brachial plexus surgical interventions.
Keywords : enhanced recovery after surgery; brachial plexus; peripheral nerves trauma; perioperative care; orthopedic procedures; neurosurgery.
