The new technique helps to quickly recover

Accelerated Rehabilitation - a technique that allows you to quickly discharged from the hospital after a serious treatment. Some experts think it is dubious, but most of it delighted.

You have heavy surgery? For decades it is meant the need to spend a lot of days and weeks in the hospital, before the actual operation (if it was planned), so thereafter, during rehabilitation . But over the last three years, all the rules in this matter proved to be overwritten. In vogue so-called accelerated rehabilitation .

This new system has revolutionized hospital care. It includes pumping patients high-calorie snacks and beverages immediately before and immediately after the operation as soon as possible the rapid rise from the bed and more localized pain relievers. Some experts believe the technique highly dubious, but it shows excellent statistics. The level dropped postoperative complications and duration of hospital days decreased in most cases by 50%.

The creators of the system on the theory that patients tiring long days in a hospital bed when they gain weight and lose muscle mass. And the sooner they will put on their feet, the more stable they will face complications and infections. In some hospitals, the British system of accelerated rehabilitation   offer for three years.

"This system does not necessarily mean the intentions of medical staff quickly shove patients home - says Professor Mike Richards, the chief oncologist UK. - At the time of discharge passed through accelerated rehabilitation of the patients are just as healthy as those who issued much later. They just get better faster . The level of readmissions does not grow. The patient system is also very like it. Give any of us to get better quickly - unless we give up? "

The system was created by the Danish professor Henrik Kehletom in 1997. He decided that the traditional medicine, which makes the patients before and after surgery to starve, do not provide these people with the power and the energy needed for recovery.
