Background:
There is a lack of studies on the effects of enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) with multidisciplinary collaboration on the nursing outcomes of total knee arthroplasty (TKA).
Aim:
To explore the effect of ERAS with multidisciplinary collaboration on nursing outcomes after TKA.
Methods:
We retrospectively analyzed the clinical data of 80 patients who underwent TKA at a tertiary hospital between January 2021 and December 2022. The patients were divided into two groups according to the nursing mode: the ERAS group (n = 40) received ERAS with multidisciplinary collaboration, and the conventional group (n = 40) received routine nursing. The following indicators were compared between the two groups: length of hospital stay, hospitalization cost, intraoperative blood loss, hemoglobin level 24 h after surgery, visual analog scale (VAS) score for pain, range of motion (ROM) of the knee joint, Hospital for Special Surgery (HSS) knee score, and postoperative complications.
Results:
The ERAS group had a significantly shorter length of hospital stay, lower hospitalization cost, less intraoperative blood loss, higher hemoglobin level 24 h after surgery, lower VAS score for pain, higher knee joint ROM, and higher HSS knee score than the conventional group (all P < 0.05). There was no significant difference in the incidence of postoperative complications between the two groups (P > 0.05).
Conclusion:
Multidisciplinary collaboration with ERAS can reduce blood loss, shorten hospital stay, and improve knee function in patients undergoing TKA.
