CSA president and session moderator Christopher McHenry, from MetroHealth Medical Center in Cleveland, said he was impressed with the study and called the findings very believable.
“I think all of these recovery pathways can be very beneficial,” Dr. McHenry said in an interview. “It helps us re-look at how we’re managing our patients and see if there are ways that we can improve on their postoperative management that may lead to earlier discharge.”
The study was funded by an investigator-initiated research grant from Ethicon Canada. Dr. Madani, his coauthors, Dr. Brunt, and Dr. McHenry reported having no financial conflicts.
