About
Anette Forsberg is a leading researcher in perioperative care and enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS), with a particular focus on postoperative mobilization and patient outcomes following colorectal surgery. Her work bridges the gap between evidence-based guidelines and clinical practice, addressing the persistent challenge of low physical activity levels after major abdominal procedures. In her landmark randomized controlled trial published in 2024, Forsberg demonstrated that immediate mobilization in the post-anesthesia care unit does not significantly increase overall postoperative physical activity in patients undergoing elective colorectal surgery within an ERAS protocol. This counterintuitive finding, already garnering 13 citations, challenges conventional assumptions and has important implications for refining recovery pathways. Forsberg’s research is distinguished by its rigorous methodology—double-blinded, controlled design—and its direct relevance to improving patient recovery and reducing complications. Her contributions are shaping how clinicians implement mobilization strategies, ensuring that ERAS protocols are both evidence-based and practically effective. Through her work, Forsberg continues to advance the science of perioperative rehabilitation, making her a key voice in surgical recovery research.
