RESUMO
Daytime hip arthroplasty refers to a medical procedure where a patient undergoes admission, surgery, and discharge all within a single day (24 hours). The establishment of daytime hip arthroplasty centers signifies a significant paradigm shift in the development model of modern hospitals. While numerous nationally accredited large medical institutions are undertaking daytime hip arthroplasty in various forms and scales, there remains a lack of standardized system processes and criteria. In this context, the National Clinical Research Center for Geriatric Disorders (Xiangya Hospital), Bone and Joint Specialty Committee of the China Ambulatory Surgery Alliance, Joint Surgery Branch of the Chinese Orthopedic Association, and Osteoarthritis Study Group of the Chinese Association of Orthopedic Surgeons have collaboratively organized experts in the relevant field domestically. Leveraging international experiences in daytime hip arthroplasty and integrating them with the clinical practices of well-established medical institutions conducting daytime surgeries in China, they have arrived at consensus recommendations. These recommendations cover the establishment of daytime hip arthroplasty centers, policies, procedures, and perioperative management. The ultimate goal is to provide reference points and guidance for the standardized implementation of daytime hip arthroplasty.
