Effect of multidisciplinary cooperative pain management on rapid recovery of patients undergoing total hip and total knee replacement / 中华麻醉学杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective To evaluate the effect of multidisciplinary cooperative pain management on the rapid recovery of patients with total hip and total knee arthroplasty.Methods A total of 120 patients,of American Society of Anesthesiologists physical status Ⅰ or Ⅱ,aged 20-64 yr,with body mass index of 18-25 kg/m2,were divided into 2 groups using a random number table method:test group (group T,n=66) and control group (group C,n=54).Multidisciplinary cooperative pain management mode was adopted for pain management in the perioperative period in group T,while traditional pain management was used in group C.Numeric rating scale scores were recorded at 4 h and 1,2,3 and 7 days after surgery and on discharge from hospital.The postoperative joint recovery time,length of hospital stay and satisfaction were recorded in two groups.Results Compared with group C,the numeric rating scale scores were significantly decreased at 4 h and 1,2,3 and 7 days after surgery and on discharge from hospital,the postoperative joint recovery time and length of hospitalization were shortened,and the degree of satisfaction was increased in group T (P＜0.05).Conclusion Multidisciplinary cooperative pain management can effectively promote the rapid recovery of patients with total hip and total knee replacement.
