ABSTRACT
Objective:To analyze the compliance with enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) protocol in geriatric patients with fresh fracture.Methods:A retrospective study was conducted on the data of the patients with fresh extremity fracture which had been included in the ERAS perioperative protocol database during May 2019 and January 2022 at Department of Orthopaedic Trauma, Beijing Jishuitan Hospital. The patients ≥65 years were selected as a study group which was matched by a control group of the patients < 65 years in sex, fracture type and date frame of hospitalization at a ratio of 1∶1. The 2 groups were compared in the compliance with the 14 ERAS core perioperative elements.Results:The study group and the control group each included 66 patients who were matched in sex and fracture type. 62.1% (41/66) of the patients in the study group had combined diseases, significantly more than that [16.7% (11/66)] in the control group( P<0.001). Altogether, the compliance with the 14 ERAS core perioperative elements was 78.6 (71.4, 85.7) % in both groups, showing no significant difference between them ( P>0.05). Respectively, the compliance with the postoperative oral intake in the study group (80.3%, 53/66) was significantly lower than that in the control group (92.4%, 61/66) ( P<0.05); the compliance with the other 13 elements showed no statistically significant difference between the 2 groups ( P>0.05). Conclusion:The ERAS perioperative protocol can be carried out smoothly in geriatric patients with fresh fracture whose compliance may be comparable to that of the none-elderly patients.
ABSTRACT
Objective:To evaluate the effectiveness of perioperative fasting abbreviation in traumatic patients with orthopaedic trauma and diabetes mellitus undergoing selective surgery.Methods:The patients were selected for this prospective nonrandomized controlled study who had undergone selective surgery from June 2019 to June 2021 at Department of Orthopaedic Trauma, Beijing Jishuitan Hospital. They were divided into an intervention group and a control group according to the wards where they stayed. The intervention group was fasted for solids from 0 o'clock on the surgery day and received oral solution with 6.25% maltodextrin which had been prepared by the nutritional department 3 hours prior to surgery. The control group was fasted for either liquids or solids from the midnight before surgery. All patients were evaluated according to the wake-up score and defensive reflex score after surgery. Once they were awakened, they were allowed slag-free drinks. Normal food was allowed if there was no discomfort after 2 hours. The 2 groups were compared in terms of basic information, actual preoperative fasting time, total amount of preoperative drinking, and postoperative time for initial drinking and eating. The perioperative subjective feelings (anxiety, thirst, hunger, nausea, fatigue, dizziness, sweating, stomach discomfort, etc.), grip strength and blood glucose were observed and compared between the 2 groups. Adverse reactions in the 2 groups were also observed.Results:A total of 135 patients were included, including 52 in the intervention group and 83 in the control group. The intervention group consisted of 22 males and 30 females aged from 30 to 84 years; the control group consisted of 39 males and 44 females aged from 29 to 81 years. There was no significant difference in the basic information between the 2 groups, showing comparability ( P>0.05). The intervention group had significantly shorter preoperative fasting time [3.5 (2.5, 6.3) h versus 12.0 (9.0, 16.0) h], significantly higher water intake before surgery [300 (200, 300) mL versus 100 (100, 200) mL], significantly shorter postoperative fasting time [0.08 (0, 1.25) h versus 2.00(0, 6.00) h], and significantly reduced time to return to normal diet [2.0 (2.0, 2.3) h versus 3.0(2.0, 6.0) h] than the control group (all P<0.05). The symptoms of anxiety, fatigue, sweating, and stomach discomfort in the intervention group were significantly fewer than those in the control group throughout the evaluation period. The thirst in the intervention group was significantly alleviated than that in the control group immediately after returning to the ward after surgery, and the dizziness and hunger were significantly alleviated than those in the control group when the patients left the ward to the operation room before surgery and immediately after returning to the ward. The symptom of nausea after returning to normal diet in the intervention group was significantly relieved compared with the control group. All the comparisons above showed statistically significant differences ( P<0.05). The blood glucose in the intervention group 2 hours after taking slag-free drinks was significantly higher than that in the control group ( Z=-2.108, P=0.035). There was no significant difference in the blood glucose between the 2 groups during other measurement periods ( P>0.05). There were no serious adverse reactions in either of the 2 groups. Conclusion:The protocol of perioperative fasting abbreviation may be safe and feasible for the patients with orthopaedic trauma and diabetes mellitus undergoing selective surgery, because it shows benefits of improving the patients' subjective feelings and stabilizing the blood glucose perioperatively.
ABSTRACT
Objective:To study the integrated information nursing mode of perioperative medical care under the multidisciplinary cooperation of hip fracture in the elderly patients, provide reference for perioperative nursing of elderly hip fracture.Methods:A total of 1 019 patients with hip fracture from May 2018 to May 2019 in Beijing Jishuitan Hospital were randomly selected as the study object, and the non synchronous control was used for the study. From May to December 2018, 527 elderly patients with hip fracture in orthopaedic department of general trauma were taken as the control group, adopting the traditional treatment and nursing mode; from January to May 2019, 492 elderly patients with hip fracture in elderly trauma orthopaedics department were taken as the intervention group. Under the multidisciplinary cooperation, the information-based nursing mode of integrated medical care was implemented, and a multidisciplinary integrated medical care team was established. The information-based platform was used to optimize the clinical nursing path, and standardized, individualized and continuous nursing scheme was developed. The time from visit to hospitalization, the time from hospitalization to operation, hospitalization time, incidence of more than moderate pain, incidence of venous thromboembolism, incidence of stress injury, incidence of delirium and satisfaction of patients and their families at discharge were compared between the two groups.Results:The number of patients in the intervention group was higher than that in the control group within 4 and 24 hours. The rate of operation in 48 h increased from 8.0%(42/527) to 50.0%(246/492), and the rate of operation in 1 week increased from 70.0%(369/527) to 99.0%(487/492). Compared with the control group, the incidence of more than moderate pain in the intervention group decreased from 85.0%(448/527) to 2.0%(10/492), the incidence of venous thromboembolism in the hospital decreased from 12.0%(63/527) to 4.1%(20/492), and the incidence of pressure injury in hip fracture in the elderly decreased from 2.1%(11/527) to 0.2%(1/492); the incidence of delirium in the hospital decreased from 21.1%(111/527) to 8.1%(40/492); the hospital stay was shortened from (13.42 ± 3.36) d to (7.26 ± 2.03) d, and the satisfaction of patients and their families increased from 60.9%(321/527) to 95.9%(472/492). There were statistical significance between the two groups (χ 2 values were 4.157-708.006, t value was -35.119, P<0.05 or 0.01). Conclusions:The information-based nursing mode of integrated medical care under the multidisciplinary cooperation can adapt to the development of hip fracture in the elderly, which is conducive to the accelerated rehabilitation of patients.
ABSTRACT
Objective:To analyze the factors which may influence postoperative early ambulation in patients with fresh fracture so as to further optimize the perioperative protocol based on the concept of enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS).Methods:A retrospective analysis was conducted of the patients who had been treated for a single fresh fracture at the extremity, pelvis or acetabulum from May 2019 to July 2019. Collected were the data concerning basic features of patients, perioperative ERAS management and surgery, as well as early ambulation on the day of surgery or the first day after surgery. The patients were divided into an early ambulation group and a non-early ambulation group according to the time of ambulation. Statistical analyses were performed of the relationships between early ambulation and 20 potential factors concerning basic features of patients, perioperative ERAS management and surgery. Logistic correlation analysis was performed to identify risk factors for postoperative early ambulation.Results:A total of 306 patients were included, including 96 upper limb, 203 lower limb, 5 acetabular and 2 pelvic fractures. Of them, 150 ambulaed from bed on the day of surgery or the first day after surgery while 156 did not. Significant differences were observed between the 2 groups in fracture site, intake of carbohydrate liquids the night before surgery and the day of surgery, catheter indwelling, intraoperative liquid transfusion volume and postoperative complications ( P < 0.05). Logistic correlation analysis of the relationship between the above factors and postoperative early ambulation found that fracture site and intraoperative liquid transfusion volume were significantly correlated with postoperative early ambulation ( P < 0.05). Conclusions:About half of the patients with a single fresh fracture may ambulate early after surgery. Fracture site and intraoperative liquid transfusion volume may be significantly correlated with postoperative early ambulation.
ABSTRACT
Objective To evaluate the effectiveness of perioperative fasting abbreviation in traumatic patients undergoing selective surgeries.Methods The traumatic patients undergoing selective surgeries from November 2016 to January 2017 at our department were selected for this prospective cohort study.They were divided into an intervention group (69 patients) and a control group (121 patients) according to the wards where they stayed.The intervention group was fasted for solids 6 hours prior to surgery and received oral solution with maltodextrin 2 hours prior to surgery.After surgery,they were allowed to drink liquids as soon as they were awakened.Normal food was allowed 2 hours later.The control group was fasted for either liquids or solids the night before surgery.After surgery,the patients who had received brachial plexus block only were allowed liquids with no limitation while the other patients were allowed liquids 6 hours after surgery and then were free for solids and liquids if no discomfort was observed.The time periods for preoperative liquids and solids fasting and for postoperative intake of liquids and solids were recorded and compared between the 2 groups.The perioperative well-beings (including anxiety,thirst,hunger,nausea,fatigue,dizziness,sweating and stomach discomfort) and serum glucose levels were compared between the 2 groups.Adverse reactions were observed.Results The preoperative fasting time for liquids for the intervention group (4.5 ± 2.9 hours) was significantly shorter than that for the control group (14.3 ±3.9 hours) (P ＜ 0.05).The preoperative fasting time for solids for the intervention group (17.6 ± 3.0 hours) were significantly longer than that for the control group (16.1 ±3.8 hours) (P ＜ 0.05).The postoperative fasting time periods for both liquids [1 (0,3) h] and solids [2 (1,4) h] for the intervention group were significantly shorter than those for the control group [6(6,6) h] hours and [6(6,6) h] (P ＜ 0.05).Compared with the control group,the perioperative anxiety,thirst,hunger,nausea,fatigue,dizziness and stomach discomfort were significantly improved in the intervention group (P ＜ 0.05).The average serum glucose level was similar in both groups upon admission (P ＜ 0.05);it was significantly higher in the intervention group immediately before surgery (P ＜ 0.05) but was gradually decreased after surgery until there was no significant difference between the 2 groups (P ＞ 0.05).No major adverse reaction was observed in either group.Conclusion The protocol of perioperative fasting abbreviation may be safe and feasible in traumatic patients for selective surgeries,showing benefits of decreased anxiety,thirst,hunger,nausea,fatigue,dizziness and stomach discomfort.

ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate fracture patients' perception about pain and analgesic.Methods In-depth interview for 30 min was done for 20 fracture patients within 12 h after their admission.Data were analyzed based on Colaizzi phenomenological research method.Results Fracture patients underestimated the influence that pain had dosne to them.When they were suffering from pain,most of them chose to endure until they couldn't endure anymore.For analgesics,most of them chose to avoid from using them unless they couldn't endure anymore.Conclusions Pain management education should be done to help patients correct their bias about pain,know more about analgesics according to their personal conditions,and help them self-report their pain and manage their pain timely and properly.
ABSTRACT
Objective To compare the clinic effects of suspension and pillow elevation on limb swelling after elbow surgery. Methods One hundred patients receiving operations on elbow fracture were randomly divided into experiment group(suspension elevation)and the control group(pillow elevation)to eliminate limb swelling,50 cases in each group.The forearm circumference(10 cm below elbow)were measured 1-5d after operation,the circumferences on the first day and the fifth day recorded for comparing effects of the limb swelling elimination.Results The circumferences on the 1st day and 5th day of the suspension elevation group and the pillow elevation group were(2?53±0?76)cm,and(4?19±2?36)cm,respectively.The differences in circumference between the two groups were statistically significant(P<0?05).Conclusion The suspension elevation is more effective in promoting venous circulation and eliminating swelling,so it is conducive for the elbow fracture patients in early functional exercise?
