X-Ray Film under Artificial Intelligence Algorithm in the Evaluation for Nursing Effect of Gamma Nail Internal Fixation in Elderly Patients with Intertrochanteric Fracture of Femur.

The aim of this work was to explore the effects of Gamma nail internal fixation for intertrochanteric fracture of femur by X-ray film classification and recognition method based on artificial intelligence algorithm. The study subjects were 100 elderly patients with intertrochanteric fracture of femur admitted to hospital. The cases were diagnosed as elderly (over 60 years old) femoral intertrochanteric fractures by X-ray or CT. They were divided into two groups, with 50 persons in each group: one group used the X-ray film evaluation image guidance based on the artificial intelligence algorithm (research group), and the other group did not use algorithmic guidance (control group). The results showed that the segmentation effect of the proposed algorithm was similar to the gold standard segmentation result, indicating that the algorithm was effective and feasible in the segmentation of fractures and bones. The global level set algorithm was set as the control. The ultimate measurement accuracy (UMA) value of the algorithm group was (1.77 ± 0.22), and the UMA value of the global level set algorithm group was (3.42 ± 0.36), indicating that the image processed by the algorithm group had obvious numerical effect, high accuracy, and good retention of details. The operation time, intraoperative blood loss, incision length, hospital stay, weight-bearing time, and fracture healing time of the two groups were all better than those of the control group. One month after surgery, the Harris score of the algorithm group was 67, and that of the control group was 51, with a 16-point difference between the two groups (p < 0.05). The patient had less pain and fast recovery speed, indicating that it was a good way to treat elderly intertrochanteric fractures with the nursing effect of X-ray Gamma nail internal fixation based on an artificial intelligence algorithm. The artificial intelligence algorithm not only can be applied to the Gamma nail internal fixation of elderly patients with intertrochanteric fractures but also can be applied to the X-ray image processing of other fractures and other surgical methods to provide effective treatment for fracture patients.

Comprehensive nursing based on feedforward control and postoperative FMA and SF-36 levels in femoral intertrochanteric fracture.

OBJECTIVE: To study the effect of comprehensive nursing based on the concept of feedforward control on postoperative FMA (Fugl-Meyer Assessment) and SF-36 (health status questionnaire) in patients with femoral trochanteric fracture. METHODS: 114 patients with femoral intertrochanteric fracture were enrolled in the study. Patients were divided into control group and observation group according to order of admission, 57 cases in each group. Both groups of patients received proximal femoral nail antirotation surgery, conventional nursing and feedforward control based comprehensive nursing. Nursing effects of the two groups of patients were compared. RESULTS: Anus first exhaust time, the time of getting out of bed and hospitalization time, and after nursing, SAS (Self-Rating Anxiety) and SDS (Self-Rating Depression) score of the observation group were significantly lower than those of the control group (p<0.05). FMA and SF-36 score of the observation group after surgical nursing were significantly higher than those of the control group (p<0.05). The total incidence of complications in the observation group was lower than that in the control group (p<0.05). CONCLUSIONS: Comprehensive care based on the concept of feedforward control has a better nursing effect for patients with intertrochanteric fracture, which can shorten the time of patient getting out of bed and hospitalization and reduce the incidence of post-complications.

Acompanhamento por telefone de idosos submetidos a cirurgias de coxa e quadril: Estudo-piloto / Monitoring for elderly subject phone to thigh and hip for surgery: Pilot study / Acompañamiento por teléfono de ancianos sometidos a cirugías de muslo y cadera: Estudio piloto

Este estudo-piloto analisa o acompanhamento por telefone comparado ao tratamento convencional em idosos no pós-operatório de cirurgias de coxa e quadril. Observou-se uma redução sob o ponto de vista clínico entre a primeira e a última avaliação para "perda do apetite sem náuseas", "dificuldade para movimentar-se" e "fadiga". Houve tendência de queda da "dor" e da "infecção pós-operatória no local da incisão". As atividades de intervenção exercidas através do telefone mostram-se acessíveis à população, com boa adesão e baixo custo.

This pilot study analyzes the telephone follow-up compared to the conventional treatment in the elderly in the postoperative period of thigh and hip surgeries. He observed a clinical reduction between the first and last evaluation for "loss of appetite without nausea," "difficulty to move" and "fatigue". There was a tendency for "pain" and "postoperative infection at the incision site to drop." Intervention activities carried out through the telephone are accessible to the population, with good adherence and low cost.

Este estúdio-piloto analiza el seguimiento por teléfono comparado al tratamiento convencional en ancianos en el postoperatorio de cirugías de muslo y cadera. Se observó una reducción desde el punto de vista clínico entre la primera y la última evaluación para "pérdida del apetito sin náuseas", "dificultad para moverse" y "fatiga". En la mayoría de los casos, se observó un aumento de la mortalidad por rotavirus en el momento de la vacunación.

Introducción. Existen diversas intervenciones de enfermería para reducir el dolor y la ansiedad tras la cirugía, entre las que destacan: relajación sistemática, música, técnicas de distracción o aplicación de calor. Objetivos. Verificar si determinadas intervenciones enfermeras intraoperatorias disminuyen el dolor y la ansiedad posteriormente. Metodología. Estudio experimental de 129 pacientes sometidos a tres tipos de cirugía (prótesis total, parcial y osteosíntesis de cadera). La muestra se dividió en dos grupos: experimental (64 pacientes, a quienes se aplicó la intervención enfermera) y control (65 pacientes). La valoración de la ansiedad se llevó a cabo mediante el State- Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI) y la del dolor con la Escala Numérica Verbal (ENV) y el consumo de analgésicos. Se realizó un análisis estadístico comparativo utilizando el programa SPSS. Resultados. Se encontraron diferencias estadísticamente significativas intergrupos en el nivel de ansiedad-estado tras la cirugía a favor del grupo experimental (p = 0.007). Respecto al dolor, se evidenció una tendencia decreciente en ambos grupos sin que las diferencias se revelaran significativas. Los menores de 70 años presentaban menor ansiedad-estado tras la operación. La prótesis total de cadera generaba menor ansiedad que las otras operaciones. Conclusiones. La intervención enfermera mostró su utilidad en la reducción de la ansiedad, pero no en la mejoría del dolor. Mientras que en el dolor crónico la ansiedad y la percepción dolorosa se reforzarían mutuamente, en el dolor quirúrgico agudo este vínculo sería más débil, lo cual explicaría los resultados obtenidos. No obstante, se precisan más estudios al respecto (AU)

Introduction. Diverse nursing interventions have been used to relief postoperative pain and anxiety, for instance: systematic relaxation, preoperative teaching visit, music, distraction techniques or warming methods. Aim. To verify if certain nursing interventions during surgery relief postoperative pain and anxiety. Methodology. Experimental study with 129 patients under three types of surgery (total and partial hip replacement and hip osteosynthesis). The sample was divided in two groups: experimental group (64 patients, who received the nursing interventions) and control group (65 patients). The State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI) and the Numerical Verbal Scale (NVS) were used to measure postoperative anxiety and pain respectively. Analgesic drug administration was also registered. A comparative statistical analysis was carried out through SPSS computerized program. Results. Statistically significant differences between both groups ere found in state anxiety after surgery in favor of experimental group (P = 0,007). Postoperative pain reflected a decreasingly tendency in both groups but differences were not statistically significant. Patients younger than 70 years old suffered less state anxiety after surgery. Total hip replacement generated less anxiety than the other two operations. Conclusions. Nursing interventions showed effectiveness in postoperative anxiety amelioration but not in pain relief. While anxiety and chronic pain would mutually reinforce, in postoperative acute pain this link may be a weaker one; hypothesis that could explain the obtained results. However, new investigations re needed (AU)

[Negative pressure therapy in traumatology]. / La thérapie par pression négative en traumatologie.

The treatment of complex wounds in traumatology is a source of concern for nurses. Negative pressure therapy constitutes a solution for difficult-to-treat situations in the framework of open fractures and loss of limb tissue.

Supracondylar humerus fractures in children.

Supracondylar fractures of the humerus are the most common fractures in children that require surgery. A significant advancement in the field of pediatric orthopedics has been closed reduction and percutaneous pinning of these fractures. This technique, using high quality fluoroscopic imaging, allows for a near anatomical reduction of fractures without the need for an open surgical procedure or prolonged traction. Supracondylar fractures in children are often associated with neurologic and vascular damage that must be recognized before fracture reduction. Nursing staff members' skill with pediatric patients can greatly aid the surgeon in the timely and safe treatment of these fractures.

Acetabular fractures.

Trauma injuries to the acetabulum and the associated pelvic region are second only to head injuries in mortality and morbidity for surgical patients. Surgeons in the past avoided exposing and stabilizing complex fractures of the acetabulum because of the intricate anatomy of the pelvic region. Recent advances in surgical techniques have increased the use of open reduction internal fixation of acetabular fractures. Early internal fixation of acetabular fractures allows rapid mobilization of severely injured patients and provides trauma patients optimal, long-term, functional results.

An agenda to promote self-care. Nursing care of skeletal pin sites.

Treatment of skeletal pin sites is often open to ritual practice. To avoid pin reaction, reassessment of cleansing agents used and the involvement of patients in their care is required. By motivating patients to self-care, nurses can help them come to terms with an altered body image.
