What this trial studies

This study evaluates the impact of an Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) nursing program on self-reported outcomes for patients undergoing minimally invasive lung cancer surgery. It compares the length of hospital stay, complications, and readmission rates between patients receiving ERAS nursing care and those receiving standard nursing care. The goal is to determine if ERAS nursing can improve recovery metrics for these patients.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, this study could lead to improved recovery experiences and outcomes for patients undergoing lung cancer surgery.

How similar studies have gone: Other studies have shown positive outcomes with ERAS protocols in various surgical settings, suggesting potential success for this approach.
