Enhanced recovery after surgery: Recommended pre-, intra-, and post-operative care interventions in the enhanced recovery after surgery.
Study summary
As China's society ages faster, the number of elderly patients undergoing spinal fusion surgery will gradually increase. Since elderly patients are at higher risk of postoperative complications than younger patients, minimizing complications after spinal fusion becomes a priority in postoperative rehabilitation. The purpose of this prospective cohort study is to develop an enhanced recovery after surgery program including individualized perioperative smoking cessation strategies in Chinese elderly undergoing spinal fusion.
