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).
To explore the effect of ERAS with multidisciplinary collaboration on nursing outcomes after TKA.
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
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).
Multidisciplinary collaboration with ERAS can reduce blood loss, shorten hospital stay, and improve knee function in patients undergoing TKA.
Core Tip: Enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) with multidisciplinary collaboration improves nursing outcomes in total knee arthroplasty (TKA). Compared to conventional nursing, ERAS leads to shorter hospital stays, lower costs, reduced blood loss, higher hemoglobin levels, decreased pain as per visual analog scale scores, improved knee joint range of motion, and higher Hospital for Special Surgery knee scores. There is no significant difference in postoperative complications. Multidisciplinary collaboration with ERAS enhances TKA patient outcomes by reducing blood loss, shortening hospital stays, and improving knee function.
