Authorship SCIMAGO INSTITUTIONS RANKINGS

ABSTRACT

Objective: To identify the Nursing interventions, described in literature, in the ERAS^® program.

Method: We defined a scoping review based on the recommendations of The Institute Joanna Brigs (JBI) and on research in electronic databases. We chose the studies through flow diagrams "Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA)" and presented them in a chart.

Results: We found 306 articles published between 2010 and 2018 and included 14 of them. The main results were: the crucial role nurses play throughout the surgical process, which begins at the preoperative nursing consultation; goes to post-operative care, such as early giving food to patients, effective management of pain or early mobilization; and ends in telephone follow-up.

Conclusion: The introduction of the surgical program ERAS^® may be an opportunity for nurses to play a more influential role in the surgical path, directly involving with their clients' results.
