Abstract

Enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) pathways have been shown to improve patient outcomes, increase patient satisfaction, and decrease costs. First created and implemented in the adult population, these pathways are now commonplace and continue to expand in the pediatric realm. While there are many proven benefits to ERAS pathways, there continue to be challenges to their proper implementation and long‐term success. This article aims to explore common challenges in pediatric ERAS development and implementation, along with strategies to avoid potential pitfalls. Key themes include departmental and institutional support, stakeholder engagement, awareness of pathways, data management and dissemination, and long‐term maintenance including Plan‐Do‐Study‐Act (PDSA) cycles. Pathway development teams should be aware of these considerations and potential pitfalls, and focusing on them can promote long‐term success for a well‐designed pathway. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
