Abstract

Objectives: To evaluate the results of application of enhance recovery after surgery (ERAS) protocols in burn surgery treatment at Nghe An General Friendship Hospital.
Subjects and methods: A Prospective descriptive study of 83 patients diagnosed with burn and treated with surgery at Nghe An General Friendship Hospital from January 2024 to January 2025.
Results: The mean age of patients were 47.9 ± 9.5 years (11 - 89), 62.7% were male and 37.3% were female. The average body mass index (BMI) was 18.98 ± 2.05 (15.5 - 25.5) kg/m2. 56.6% patients were classified as ASA II and 28.9% patients were classified as ASA III. The average surgical time was 127 ± 39.78 (60 - 150) minutes. The overall compliance rate for the interventions was 85.86%%. In which, each intervention had a different compliance rate. The average VAS scores of 4 days were all < 4 points. The more ERAS interventions performed the shorter the recovery time the hospital stay. The rate of postoperative complications was 24.09%, mainly surgical site infections and endocrine complications. The hospital stay in the group of patients with complications was longer than the group without complications (p < 0.05).
Conclusions: The application of Enhanced recovery after burn surgery was a safe method, contributing to reducing complications and improving treatment efficiency.
