          Abstract

          Background

          The implementation of ERAS represents a promising solution to improve treatment efficiency and facilitate patient involvement. This innovative care model aims to optimize recovery processes following surgeries by adopting a holistic, interprofessional approach. At our hospital, ERAS was implemented in minimally invasive heart valve surgery, offering two distinct ERAS models. Additionally, there is also the standard of care without ERAS. The objective of the study is to gain insight into patient satisfaction and perceived differences across these various care models.

          Methods

          Patients were interviewed using semi-structured interviews approximately two to three months after undergoing surgery. The data were analysed using qualitative content analysis in accordance with the methodology proposed by Kuckartz. Four main categories were established: Preoperative care, postoperative care and communication, patient participation and involvement, and rehabilitation and post-clinical course.

          Results

          Comprehensive preoperative education and seamless communication throughout the perioperative care journey were identified as fundamental to patient satisfaction and optimal care processes. Patients in the ERAS + model reported higher overall satisfaction with their care compared to patients in the standard of care and ERAS groups.

          Conclusion

          Preoperative education establishes the foundation for patients’ subsequent behaviours and expectations regarding their treatment. Physical activity, nutrition, and mental health are significant aspects. The active involvement and participation of patients and their families in the treatment process facilitated superior postoperative care, intensive physiotherapy, mental support, and faster recovery. A functional flow of information throughout the entire care process is vital. Moreover, having a dedicated point of contact had a beneficial impact on patients´ well-being. The integration of innovative ERAS concepts, which encompass interprofessional preoperative patient education and psychosomatic support, represents a promising approach from a patient perspective, offering benefits to a broad spectrum of cardiac surgical patients.

          Coming of age: ten years of next-generation sequencing technologies.

          Since the completion of the human genome project in 2003, extraordinary progress has been made in genome sequencing technologies, which has led to a decreased cost per megabase and an increase in the number and diversity of sequenced genomes. An astonishing complexity of genome architecture has been revealed, bringing these sequencing technologies to even greater advancements. Some approaches maximize the number of bases sequenced in the least amount of time, generating a wealth of data that can be used to understand increasingly complex phenotypes. Alternatively, other approaches now aim to sequence longer contiguous pieces of DNA, which are essential for resolving structurally complex regions. These and other strategies are providing researchers and clinicians a variety of tools to probe genomes in greater depth, leading to an enhanced understanding of how genome sequence variants underlie phenotype and disease.

            Guidelines for Perioperative Care in Cardiac Surgery

            Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) evidence-based protocols for perioperative care can lead to improvements in clinical outcomes and cost savings. This article aims to present consensus recommendations for the optimal perioperative management of patients undergoing cardiac surgery. A review of meta-analyses, randomized clinical trials, large nonrandomized studies, and reviews was conducted for each protocol element. The quality of the evidence was graded and used to form consensus recommendations for each topic. Development of these recommendations was endorsed by the Enhanced Recovery After Surgery Society.

              Patient empowerment, patient participation and patient-centeredness in hospital care: A concept analysis based on a literature review.

              The concepts of patient empowerment, patient participation and patient-centeredness have been introduced as part of the trend towards a more participatory health care and have largely been used interchangeably. Although these concepts have been discussed for a number of years, their exact meaning in hospital care remains somewhat unclear. This absence of theoretical and conceptual clarity has led to (1) poor understanding and communication among researchers, health practitioners and policy makers and (2) problems in measurement and comparison between studies across different hospitals.
