The primary aim of this study is to understand how intraoperative medication administration patterns change in response to ERAS® protocol implementation for patients who underwent laparoscopic donor nephrectomy. ⋯ We examined intraoperative practice pattern changes by anesthesiologists in response to ERAS protocol implementation for laparoscopic donor nephrectomies. Our results suggest that there was a variable uptake of recommendations from ERAS protocol. While ERAS protocols are often studied as a bundle of best practice recommendations, understanding the variability of provider adherence represents an important future research direction for the ERAS initiative.
