Abstract:
Objectives:To investigate the nursing effect of perioperative enhanced recovery after surgery(ERAS)management model in elderly patients with hip fracture.Methods:A retrospective case-control study was conducted to analyze the clinical data of 94 elderly patients with hip fracture admitted to Second Affiliated Hospital of Soochow University from July 2017 to June 2018,including 24 males and 70 females aged 76-98 years[(83.7±5.4)years]. There were 54 patients with intertrochanteric fracture and 40 patients with femoral neck fracture. Surgical method was proximal femoral nail antirotation(PFNA)fixation or artificial hip arthroplasty. A total of 44 patients were managed by ERAS(enhanced recovery group)and 50 patients by traditional nursing(traditional rehabilitation group). The off-bed time was compared between the two groups from aspects of different fracture sites,bone mineral density and causes of injury. The visual analogue scale(VAS)was tested preoperatively and at postoperative days 1,3 and 7. The complications were recorded at postoperative 1 month. The activity of daily living(ADL)score was assessed preoperatively and at postoperative 1 week,1 month and 3 months. The Harris hip score was assessed at postoperative 1 week,1 month,3 months and at the last follow-up. The length of hospital stay and death at postoperative 3 months and at the last follow-up were recorded.Results:All patients were followed up for 12-24 months[(17.7±6.2)months]. In enhanced recovery group,the off-bed time of patients with different fracture sites(femoral neck,femoral intertrochanter),bone mineral density(>-2.5 SD,≤-2.5 SD)and causes of injury(falls,traffic accidents and others)were markedly shortened as compared with traditional rehabilitation group( P<0.01). There was no significant difference in VAS between the two groups before operation( P>0.05). However,the VAS in enhanced recovery group was(3.4±0.9)points,(2.7±0.5)points,(1.7±0.6)points at postoperative days 1,3 and 7,significantly lower than that in traditional rehabilitation group[(4.3±1.1)points,(3.5±0.5)points,(2.7±0.9)points]( P<0.01). One month after operation,the incidence of pulmonary infection was 0% in enhanced recovery group and 28%(14/50)in traditional rehabilitation group( P<0.01). While there showed no significant differences in incidences of cardiovascular system,nervous system,urinary tract infection,lower limb deep vein thrombosis,impaired liver and kidney function,anemia,electrolyte disorder or hypoalbuminemia between the two groups( P>0.05). There was no significant difference in preoperative ADL score between the two groups( P>0.05). The ADL score in enhanced recovery group was(37.0±6.6)points,(70.1±8.4)points,(86.2±9.3)points at postoperative 1 week,1 month and 3 months,significantly higher than that in traditional rehabilitation group[(26.5±10.4)points,(50.1±11.4)points,(70.7±9.0)points]( P<0.01). The Harris hip score in enhanced recovery group was(80.9±8.6)points at postoperative 1 month,significantly higher than that in traditional rehabilitation group[(71.1±9.2)points]( P<0.01). There were no significant differences in Harris hip score between the two groups at postoperative 1 week,3 months and at the last follow-up( P>0.05). The length of hospital stay was(4.7±2.4)days in enhanced recovery group,significantly shorter than(7.8±3.9)days in traditional rehabilitation group( P<0.01). The enhanced recovery group showed no death within 3 months after operation and 2 deaths[5%(2/44)]at the last follow-up,while the traditional rehabilitation group revealed 4 deaths[8%(4/50)]within 3 months after operation. There was no significant difference in the mortality between the two groups until the last follow-up( P>0.05). Conclusion:For elderly patients with hip fracture,perioperative ERAS management model can effectively shorten periods in bed,relieve postoperative pain,reduce incidence of postoperative pulmonary infection,accelerate recovery of hip function,improve quality of life,shorten length of hospitalization and promote early recovery.
