Area of Science:

  • Orthopaedic Nursing
  • Patient Safety
  • Evidence-Based Practice

Background:

  • Adverse events pose risks in orthopaedic care, including falls, surgical site infections, venous thromboembolism, and neurovascular injuries.
  • These events can occur during intraoperative and postoperative phases of patient management.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To highlight the critical role of orthopaedic nurses in mitigating adverse events.
  • To emphasize the use of evidence-based interventions to improve patient safety and care quality.

Main Methods:

  • Review of current literature on adverse events in orthopaedic nursing.
  • Analysis of the impact of evidence-based interventions on patient outcomes.

Main Results:
