TikTok Summary: Consensus Guidelines for Perioperative Care in Neonatal Intestinal Surgery: Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS®) Society Recommendations
Guideline · Sep 2020 · 1 min read
In brief
In brief
First ERAS Society consensus guideline for neonatal intestinal resection surgery, developed through systematic review of 3514 publications and multidisciplinary expert consensus. Seventeen evidence-based recommendations address perioperative care elements from communication strategies to antibiotic protocols, establishing a framework for enhanced recovery protocols in pediatric surgical specialties.
- First ERAS® Society guideline for pediatric surgery, specifically targeting neonatal intestinal resection procedures.
- 17 evidence-based recommendations developed through systematic review of 3514 publications and multidisciplinary consensus.
- Guideline covers perioperative care from communication strategies to antibiotic protocols with parental input integrated.
- Variable evidence quality required elimination of topics with poor/conflicting data to maintain clinical rigor.
- Framework establishes foundation for future pediatric ERAS guidelines across multiple surgical specialties.

Background
Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS®) Society guidelines integrate evidence-based practices into multimodal care pathways that have improved outcomes in multiple adult surgical specialties. There are currently no pediatric ERAS® Society guidelines. We created an ERAS® guideline designed to enhance quality of care in neonatal intestinal resection surgery.
Methods
A multidisciplinary guideline generation group defined the scope, population, and guideline topics. Systematic reviews were supplemented by targeted searching and expert identification to identify 3514 publications that were screened to develop and support recommendations. Final recommendations were determined through consensus and were assessed for evidence quality and recommendation strength. Parental input was attained throughout the process.
Results
Final recommendations ranged from communication strategies to antibiotic use. Topics with poor-quality and conflicting evidence were eliminated. Several recommendations were combined. The quality of supporting evidence was variable. Seventeen final recommendations are included in the proposed guideline.
Discussion
We have developed a comprehensive, evidence-based ERAS guideline for neonates undergoing intestinal resection surgery. This guideline, and its creation process, provides a foundation for future ERAS guideline development and can ultimately lead to improved perioperative care across a variety of pediatric surgical specialties.
