Effect of high-quality nursing on orthopedic trauma based on a fast-track surgery model

OBJECTIVETo explore the effect of fast-track surgery (FTS) based high quality nursing on orthopedic trauma. METHODSIn this retrospective study, 94 patients who received orthopedic trauma surgery in our hospital from December 2018 to November 2020 were included. The patients were assigned to a research group (n=47) or a control group (n=47) according to which nursing method they received. The control group received routine nursing, while the research group also received FTS-based high-quality nursing. Perioperative situation, quality of life score (SF-36) before and after operation, incidence of complications, pain score (VAS) at different time periods after operation, and nursing satisfaction were compared between the two groups. RESULTSThere was no significant difference in operation time or blood loss between groups (P>0.05). The time to getting out of bed for the first time, time to drainage tube removal, and length of hospital stay in the research group were shorter than those in the control group (P
