Objective:

To investigate the impact of ERAS-based refined nursing on early postoperative activities, specifically focusing on ambulation and recovery metrics.

Key Findings:
  • ERAS group had significantly earlier ambulation and higher walking distances at 24 h and 48 h (P < 0.001).
  • Enhanced postoperative recovery with earlier gastrointestinal function and reduced length of stay (LOS) (P < 0.001).
  • Lower incidence of postoperative complications, including pulmonary infection and DVT, in the ERAS group.
  • Significant reductions in postoperative pain and analgesic pump usage in the ERAS group.
  • Higher nursing compliance and patient satisfaction in the ERAS group.
Interpretation:

ERAS-based refined nursing significantly improves early mobilization, enhances postoperative recovery, and reduces complications after lung cancer surgery, aligning with ERAS principles.

Limitations:
  • Retrospective design may introduce bias, affecting the reliability of the findings.
  • Single-center study limits generalizability to broader populations.
Conclusion:

ERAS-based refined nursing is associated with improved early mobilization and recovery outcomes in lung cancer surgery patients.
