ABSTRACT
Objective To formulate targeted nursing measures and prevent or reduce falls of inpatients through the analysis of related risk factors of falls of spinal degenerative disease patients. Methods Review and analysis falls of inpatients happened between January 2015 and April 2016 in our department and find out that all kinds of dangerous reasons lead to falls. All inpatients risk assessments are evaluated with Morse Fall Scale on admission and during hospitalization. The grading standard of patient safety events was used in the classification of fall outcomes. Results A total of 13 inpatients were all high risk patients by Morse Fall Scale. Risk factors of falls:periods between 0:00 and 2:00, 6:00 and 8:00am, 18:00 and 20:00, in 3 days and 2 weeks after admission; combined diseases such as cardiovascular disease, diabetes, osteoarthritis of the knee; accompanied by muscle strength, muscle tension abnormalities. use related drugs;need of accompany or assisted walking;lack of safety awareness;slippery ground, compressed activity space and lack of light. Conclusions Falls of inpatients with spinal degenerative diseases are caused by the joint action of physiological difference, disease, medicine and weak safety consciousness of inpatients and caregivers, with specialty and occurrence in a certain time. Nursing measures can help to avoid and reduce the falls of inpatients.
ABSTRACT
Objective To summarize the experience in the perioperative nursing of one-stage bilateral total hip arthroplaaty (THA) for the systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) patients with avascular necrosis of the femoral head (ANFH).Methods From June 1998 to April 2007,17 cases of patients who were diagnosed as SLE with bilateral ANFH were treated by one-stage bilateral THA.Perioperative nursing included psychological support,diet control,observation and nursing of various complications,correct functional exercise and health education.Harris score and SF-36 score were evaluated before and after operation.Results There were 2 cases with delayed incision healing,1 with early prosthesis dislocation,1 with thigh pain for 10 months and 1 with acute renal failure postoperatively,which were improved and recovered after proper treatments.Asymptomatic deep vein thrombosis (DVT) in low extremities were detected by color Doppler ultrasonography in 6 cases.There were no pulmonary embolism and no deep infection around prosthesis.There was no Addisonian crisis postoperatively.The pain was relieved and the motion of joint was improved during follow-up.There was no radiological evidence of implant loosening.The Harris hip score and SF-36 score greatly alleviated after operation.All patients were followed up and the mean follow-up time was 28 months.Conclusions One-stage bilateral THA has good results for the patients with SLE and AVNH.Strengthening of perioperative nursing contributed to improvement of success rate of surgery and reduction of complication.
