    Use of Enhanced Recovery Elements in Emergency General Surgery Practice

  • Thank you for participating in this survey on ERAS/ERP in emergency general surgery!

    This questionnaire, a joint effort by the Educational and Research Committees of the European Society for Trauma and Emergency Surgery (ESTES), aims to assess how ERAS/ERP principles are applied, identify barriers and facilitators, and gather data to improve future guidelines.

    The survey is anonymous; aggregate results may be used for scientific publications and for the development of educational and research projects within ESTES.

    We truly appreciate your time and want to let you know that joining any future project is entirely up to you.

    If you're interested in being contacted for upcoming international collaborative groups and snapshot studies related to this survey, please leave your email on the next page.

    With kind regards,

    Diego and Gary
    on behalf of the ESTES Educational Committee & Research Committee
