ABSTRACT
Objective To explore the reasons and preventive measures of early dislocation after total hip arthroplasty in elder patients. Method A retrospective study was done to analyze dislocation time, reason and time of 168 elderly patients with early anti-dislocation after total hip arthroplasty in joint surgery. Results Only 7 patients (4.1%) had type I joint dislocation, including 2 male and 5 female patients aged 65~89 years. The dislocation happened in 4~5 weeks postoperatively, mainly resulting from hip joint over flexion when urinating in bed, sleep-turning, loaded-moving, walking and stoop and diachoresis. Conclusions For the elderly patients after total hip replacement, it is type I dislocation which happened 4 ~ 5 weeks after operation, more femal than male, reasons including over-exercrse. Effective prevention measures includes regular rehabilitation training, early precautions enhanced mental support and safety nursing.
ABSTRACT
Objective To explore the establishment and implementation of nursing quality evaluation system in department of orthopedics. Methods Randomly 527 patients hospitalized in the department of orthopedics from December 2011 to December 2012 were selected and assigned into the control group, where a traditional evaluation system was used. Another 528 patients hospitalized from April 2013 to June 2014 as the observation group, where orthopedics specialist evaluation system was used. The two groups were compared in terms of hospital evaluation accuracy, observation accuracy, accuracy rate of specialist intervention complications, the qualified rate of nursing records and patient satisfaction. Result The hospital evaluation accuracy, observation accuracy, the accuracy rate of specialist intervention complications, the qualified rate of nursing records and patients satisfaction of the observation group were significantly higher than those of the control group (P<0.01) and there was no incidence in two groups. Conclusion The establishment of orthopaedic nurse quality evaluation system can make up the shortage of traditional evaluation system and improve the quality of the orthopaedic nursing management.
