6. Enhanced Recovery – How far have we come?
• Evidence based
approach
• Improves patient
experience
• Quality is the driving
principle
• Spread beyond original
8 elective surgical
procedures
7. ER is becoming the norm
“We believe that
enhanced recovery
should now be
considered as standard
practice for most
patients undergoing
major surgery across a
range of procedures
and specialties”.
8. A patient centred approach
Getting better soonerr
• Patient involvement
and shared decision
making at the heart of
ER
• The potency of patient
involvement helps to
drive spread and
adoption of ER
9. ER improves patients experience
……………………………… patients get better sooner

Falling length of stay
170,000 fewer bed days
Increasing day of surgery

No increase in readmissions
12. Variation in practice – Elective Caesarean Section
Variation in adoption of practice Variation in momentum of spread
13. Efficient and Effective Elective Care
• The right person for the right operation at the
right time
• Enhanced recovery plus
• Productivity in the operating room

16. Background
• Wrench 2014
95% Lead clinicians in favour
3 units have implemented ER
Commonly practised: regular oral analgesia,
minimal fasting, ‘early’ mobilisation
Uncommon: Temperature management, cord
clamping, skin to skin
Concerns… Not resource neutral… safety
NHS-IQ Enhanced Recovery CS 2014 16
17. Introduction
The enhanced recovery care bundle is associated with
improved patient experience and better clinical
outcomes including earlier discharge. With a view to
introducing a similar care bundle in our unit, we
undertook to determine what aspects of current
management would preclude early (24 hour) discharge.
NHS-IQ Enhanced Recovery CS 2014 17
18. Method
50 consecutive parturients undergoing Caesarean
section were reviewed prospectively to determine
frequency of clinical interventions, including
observations and medications. The period of time
between surgery and urinary and epidural catheter
removal, transfer to a post-natal ward and to discharge
home were noted.
NHS-IQ Enhanced Recovery CS 2014 18
19. Results 1
• Parity: Multips – 63%
• Anaesthesia: Combined spinal-epidural - 100%
• Surgery ‘uncomplicated’ [estimated blood loss
<1L] – 100%
• Post operative epidural analgesia – 34%
[1 -4 top-ups]
• Time in Recovery - 4 – 6 hrs – 69%
NHS-IQ Enhanced Recovery CS 2014 19
22. Discussion
Better patient experience –
more family centred
Less stressful
Better bonding
Better breastfeeding
NHS-IQ Enhanced Recovery CS 2014 22
23. Discussion
• Many aspects of enhanced Recovery are
routine in obstetrics
• 91% only required VTE prophylaxis & simple
oral analgesia 24 hours after surgery
NHS-IQ Enhanced Recovery CS 2014 23
24. Potential Barriers to enhanced Recovery
1. Resistance to change
2. Unpredictability of elective work
3. Bladder care
4. Lack of community resources
NHS-IQ Enhanced Recovery CS 2014 24
26. Conclusions
Women, especially those with children at home are
highly motivated to make their inpatient stay as short
as possible. Our results suggest that post-operative
care can be adapted to minimise delay, but to minimise
pre-operative delays, elective obstetric lists must be
run independently of the emergency workload & close
cooperation with services in the community is key

27. Building the case for change in practice –
what do women experience and want?

28. Our Birth Journey
The gentle arrival of Annabelle, by Helen Pickering
29. A Definition of a Gentle Caesarean
Section
An experience which mimics a natural birth, in
that a mother is able to watch her baby being
born. The baby is able to make a slow and calm
transition into the outside world and receive the
blood and stem cells from its own placenta and
cord. The mother and baby to be united skin to
skin immediately following delivery, to begin the
maternal bonding and breastfeeding journey.
31. Challenges
• Access to appropriate support
• Advocates for mothers
• Lack of education
• Resistance to change
• Time constraints
• Team working
32. Opportunities
• Local birth choices group
• Consultant midwife clinic
• Breastfeeding support
• Internet based information and social media
• Time
33. Testimonial
• Dear Helen
•
• Lovely to hear from you and I am so glad that you are sharing your experience. I think your choices and care about
the birth of your baby had a profound impact on the staff.
•
• Here is an email I received from one of the midwives who was at your daughter’s birth:
•
• Just thought Id send you a quick email with regards to a birth I was involved in where you had seen her to do a birth
plan and just to let you know how it couldn't have gone any better and it will be a birth I'll remember for a long
time.
•
• She was wanting a gentle Caesarean section, delayed cord clamping and immediate skin to skin which all happened
and the joy on her face when the sheet was lowered as baby was being born will stay with me forever and summed
up why I started my midwifery career. We even did biological nurturing with her struggling feeding last time and it
was so nice for everyone being so relaxed and I believe it was a pleasure for everyone to be involved.
•
• It would be nice if this was talked about in community and if this could become the normal for elective caesareans
(well those which would want to) it will be definitely something I will be advocating in my further practice and I
just so thankful that we have you and Gill and all this can be possible for woman and feel that I can now offer this
without being looked upon as crazy.
•
• So, thank you as I think you have enhanced this midwives practice and this will have an ongoing positive effect!

– Readmissions
– Patient satisfaction
– Reflections
60. Client Satisfaction Feb – June 13
• Satisfied with programme – 100 EROS clients
– 42 very satisfied, 53 satisfied, 5 neutral
• But: Non EROS clients (45)
– 5 very satisfied, 33 satisfied, 7 neutral
• Recommend to a friend
– 92 Yes, 5 No, 3 Yes until postnatal ward
– Reasons for No
• Wanted to wait longer before recatheterisation
• Pain control and light headed
• Wanted to leave Day 2 but no paperwork and results –
then couldn’t leave til 17:00 next day either
61. What we could still improve on
• The catheter!
• Reducing fasting times
• Patient information
• Decisions around patient inclusion
(particularly around catheter removal)
• Staff involvement - OWNERSHIP
• Follow up
62. Conclusions
• Enhanced Recovery in Obstetrics is going to
be important over the next 5 years
• It is possible to set up a workable
programme in obstetrics
• Requires full multi-disciplinary team
approach
• Requires fail safe follow up plans in place
• Rewarding for both patients, staff, and
hospital management
63. Developing a consensus/agreement
of pathway – what does the care
pathway look like?

105. Patients comments
The good
• Midwives were great and very
professional, listened to their patients
and were very supportive
• I, initially, had concerns about ERP but it
worked very well and will definitely
want the same level of care if I come
back in the future
• It was a great experience and we had a
very supportive and responsible staff
• Very nice and relaxed atmosphere
which helped with my anxiety due to a
previous experience
• Energy drinks helped with hunger pain
and tasted good (4 patients)
The bad
• Hourly Observations were horrible
• We should be given the choice to stay
an extra night
• Uncomfortable in the sitting area for 6
hours starved
• Husband had to stop going to work to
look after me. I was too tired to go
home
• I was pushed out of hospital and it was
getting too late
• I felt that the midwife was too
aggressive telling me that “this is what
we do and you have to leave tonight”. I
think that if you take the responsibility
for looking after patients the least you
can do is to listen to them
106. The future
• Patient information
– DVD
– Patient diary
– Section School
• Roll out to emergency
– Starvation in labour
– Increase patient and staff awareness
109. Where to next?
Key challenges and solutions to
implement care pathway – what lessons
have we learnt?
