Prehabilitation for the Enhanced Recovery After Surgery Patient.

BACKGROUND: Prehabilitation proposes that broad health interventions at the time of decision for surgery will improve the patient's starting functional status and therefore recovery.

METHODS: The impact of preoperative exercise, preoperative nutrition, smoking cessation, alcohol cessation, anemia, and psychological support were reviewed.

RESULTS: Interventions to improve the patient's underlying health typically improve recovery, although the duration and intensity necessary for meaningful surgical recovery benefit need further study.

CONCLUSIONS: Preoperative health interventions may improve recovery in the postoperative period and patient health years later.
