THE EFFECTIVENESS OF APPLYING FAST TRACK SURGERY CONCEPT IN PRIMARY TOTAL HIP ARTHROPLASTY

The International Society for Technology in Arthroplasty (ISTA), 29th Annual Congress, October 2016. PART 1.



Abstract

Objective

To investigate the effectiveness of applying fast track surgery concept in primary total hip arthroplasty.

Methods

The data of patients with primary total hip arthroplasty in our department from January 1, 2013 to October 1, 2015 were retrospectively analyzed. The patients were divided into traditional recovery group, enhanced recoverygroup and update enhanced recovery group according to different interventions. The blood loss, transfusion rate, complications rate, postoperative function, length of stay, hospitalization expense and readmission rate were compared between three groups.

Results

A total of 435 cases were included. Compared with traditional recovery group, the average blood loss, length of stay and total cases of complication in update enhanced recovery group were reduced 91.44 ml, 1.34 days and 14.05%, respectively, and the differences showed statistical significance. From 2013 to 2015 the hip flexion and abduction degree increased annually, the differences also showed statistical significance. The blood transfusion rate, other complications and hospitalization expense were all reduced, but there were no statistical significance.

Conclusions

The emphasis of fast track surgery concept in primary total hip arthroplasty was the management in perioperative period. Through continuous optimization of intervention measures under the guidance of evidence based medicine, it can effectively accelerate recovery, diminish complications and reduce the length of hospital stay.
