In brief

This implementation trial evaluates the feasibility of adapting Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) protocols—evidence-based perioperative care bundles—for neonatal intestinal resection in the NICU setting. The study examines clinical outcomes and guideline adherence following a light-touch implementation approach in this vulnerable patient population.

ERAS guidelines bundle evidence-based recommendations to improve perioperative care quality and safety in surgical patients.
This study tests feasibility of adapting ERAS protocols specifically for neonatal intestinal resection in the NICU setting.
Light-touch implementation approach allows assessment of adherence barriers before full-scale ERAS rollout in neonatal surgery.
NICU-specific ERAS adaptation addresses unique physiologic and care delivery challenges in critically ill newborns undergoing surgery.
