Summary
Brief summary (as posted)
This study evaluates the safety and effectiveness of an innovative care assessment tool for early feeding and mobilization following thoracic surgery, based on the Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) protocol. The aim is to improve postoperative recovery by helping healthcare providers implement a structured, evidence-based plan for early feeding and activity. The study will compare the new care model (ERAS-based) with traditional postoperative care. The investigators will focus on outcomes like recovery quality, complications, hospital stay, and medication use. This research aims to provide solid evidence for integrating early feeding and mobilization into routine thoracic surgery recovery, potentially improving patient comfort, reducing recovery time, and lowering complications.

- label
- ERAS nursing group
- description
- The ERAS nursing group implements the Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) protocol, where the medical team uses developed assessment tools to individualize the timing for each patient's first mobilization and oral intake after surgery. This intervention aims to promote postoperative recovery, reduce postoperative complications, and shorten hospital stays.
