Publisher: | Amer Assoc Neurological Surgeons | Abstract: | OBJECTIVE Enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) protocols are standardized perioperative care that reduce patients' stress response during hospitalization and improve hospitalization time, complication rates, costs, and read-mission rates. This study aimed to investigate the application rate of protocols for elective craniotomy in the surgery of unruptured anterior circulation aneurysms (AnCAs) at tertiary-level healthcare (TLH) institutions in Turkiye and its effect on the outcomes of the patients.METHODS An electronic survey was sent to all Turkish TLH institutions (n = 127) between May and June 2023. The number of institutions participating in the survey was 38 (30%). The institutions were subdivided according to three main factors: institution type (university hospital [UH] vs training and research hospital [TRH]), annual case volume (low [<= 20 aneurysms] vs high [> 20 aneurysms]), and institution accreditation status (accredited vs nonaccredited).RESULTS Overall, 55.3% (n = 21) of the institutions participating in the study were UHs. The rates of those that were accredited and had a high case volume were 55.3% (n = 21) and 31.6% (n = 12), respectively. It was determined that the accredited clinics applied preoperative protocols at a higher rate (p = 0.050), and the length of stay in the postoperative period was shorter in the clinics that used the intraoperative protocols (p = 0.014).CONCLUSIONS The length of stay in the postoperative period is lower in TLH institutions in Turkiye that highly imple-ment intraoperative protocols. Furthermore, this is the first study in the literature evaluating protocols for elective crani- otomy in unruptured AnCAs. | URI: | https://doi.org/10.3171/2023.9.FOCUS23546 https://hdl.handle.net/11499/56270 |
