The ERAS Cardiac Society Conference | ERAS Cardiac 2021

"You didn't have to think about it, the compliance continued, because it was so standardized. We had a well oiled machine that just kept on working through COVID". The Society for Enhanced Recovery After Cardiac Surgery (ERAS® Cardiac)'s conference has gotten off to a great start; this exclusive chat gets into some of the stand out moments so far; nutrition, data collection, the essentials of ERAS and the importance of standardization.
