Abstract: This review summarizes the importance of enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) implementation for cesarean deliveries (CDs) and explores ERAS elements shared with the non-obstetric surgical population. The Society for Obstetric Anesthesia and Perinatology (SOAP) consensus statement on ERAS for CD is used as a template for the discussion. Suggested areas for research to improve our understanding of ERAS in the obstetric population are delineated. Strategies and examples of anesthesia-specific protocol elements are included.
