Brief Summary  
Emergency laparotomies constitute majority of the
emergency surgical operations amongst which surgeries done for small bowel
pathologies account for 22 % to 33 % of the cases.Postoperative mortality rates
of 10-14 % have been reported following emergency procedures for small
bowel pathology in India.This indicates the dire need for revising the
perioperative care practices in the emergency setting. Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) pathway, is an integrated
care pathway that utilizes multimodal evidence based approach to optimize patient’s
recovery.The purpose of these pathways is to use current evidence in a streamlined
multidisciplinary manner with the aim of minimizing surgical pain and enhancing
recovery, leading to fewer complications, more rapid hospital discharge and improved
overall outcomes.
The applicability of ERAS pathways has been tested in numerous elective procedures
but there is a dearth in the studies conducted in an emergency setting. Hence this study is planned to assess the feasibility of ERAS in patients undergoing
emergency surgery for perforation peritonitis.
