Abstract
Enhanced recovery after surgery is a concept put forward by Henrik Kehlet in 1997 for colorectal surgery & presented a protocol. Since then, it is adopted for various surgical procedures in many developed countries. Obstetricians & obstetric anaesthesiologists are also following the same line. In 2020 Society for obstetric anaesthesia & perinatology (SOAP) USA published a consensus statement on “early recovery after caesarean section”, presenting the pathways. Is it possible to adopt it fully in our country? Do we need to modify here & there? We are trying to find out the answers.
