RESUMO
Objective: To investigate the current situation of stress ulcer prevention in patients with orthopedic joint replacement in our hospital and explore the necessity of preventing bleeding of peptic ulcer in patients with hip/knee replacement. Methods: The ca-ses of hip/knee replacement discharged from our hospital in September 2017 were retrospectively analyzed. The age and gender of the patients were analyzed. The underlying medical conditions, the related laboratory indices and the uses of stress ulcer prevention drugs, analgesic and anticoagulation drugs were statistically analyzed. Results: A total of 109 cases were collected including 40 cases of hip replacement and 69 cases of knee replacement. The median of age was 63. The use rate of non-steroidal analgesic drugs was 98. 16% , that of deep venous thrombosis prevention drugs was 95. 4% , and that of stress ulcer prevention drugs was 67. 9% . No patient suffered from gastrointestinal bleeding. Conclusion: The majority of patients undergoing hip /knee replacement are the elderly, and the knee replacement patients are older with more operation duration and more bleeding during the hip replacement. Nonsteroidal anti-inflamma-tory drugs and the drugs for preventing deep venous thrombosis are widely used during perioperative period. At present, it is still uncer-tain whether the population needs regular prevention of stress ulcers. However, the combination of aspirin and NSAID is a risk factor. The other high-risk factors, as well as the necessity of prevention medication, still need to be investigated in a larger scale.
