Summary
The institution of perioperative Enhanced Recovery Protocols (ERPs) has been found to decrease hospital length of stay, in-hospital costs, and complications among adult surgical populations but data in pediatric populations are lacking. The Assessing Effectiveness and Implementation of a Perioperative Enhanced Recovery Protocol for Children Undergoing Gastrointestinal Surgery, which has the short title "ENhanced Recovery In CHildren Undergoing Surgery (ENRICH-US)," study is a multicenter, pragmatic, prospective study, using a stepped wedge cluster randomized controlled trial design. The study is designed to test the adoption, effectiveness, and generalizability of a newly developed, 21-element ERP for children undergoing elective gastrointestinal surgery.
