The wrestling of may 27, the news of the mass health news, new hunan, is no small thing for the elderly. A fall can lead to fractures in hips, with long-term bed rest and its complications, often constituting a “fatal blow” to the health of the elderly. In recent days, the first people's hospital in loudy city has again breached the “excessive age exclusion zone” and successfully performed a hip replacement for a 90-year-old。
When grandma gong, aged 90, went down the stairs, she accidentally stepped on the air and fell, causing swelling pain to the right hip. At first, the family thought it would be easy for the elderly to rest at home。
After 10 days, her pain continued to increase, with coughing and coughing. The family was present and immediately taken to the first people's hospital in loudy city for treatment for bone trauma, chest and chest surgery and trauma centres。
After completing his examination, the attending physician, kim fai, was diagnosed with fractures of the right femur, lung infections, combined with various diseases such as hypertension and alzheimer's disease。
The fracture of the hip is one of the most common fractures caused by osteoporosis in old age, which can cause patients to stand and walk functionally. If conservative treatment is taken without surgery, the patient will need to stay in bed for long periods, which may eventually result in multiple complications, such as lung infections, deep vein embolism and even life-threatening conditions。
In view of her state of health, the deputy director of the hospital, the chief of the osteoporosis unit and the chief of the heart and chest surgery centre and the chief of the trauma centre immediately organized multidisciplinary mdt discussions with the medical department of respiratory and critical diseases, the neurology section, the anaesthetic surgical section and the icu. The experts agreed that after active treatment for infection resistance and the correction of electrolytic disorders, surgery could take place at alternative stages。
As a result of active support for the treatment of symptoms, grandma gong's physical condition has improved markedly and life signs have stabilized. The doctor explained the details of the operation and the risks to the family, who, after careful consideration, decided to undergo an artificial hip replacement。
Operation for patients
Subsequently, with the full cooperation of the anaesthesia surgery, yang led a team that successfully performed a right-hand double-bone replacement operation for her grandmother, which took only half an hour。
Check the health of the elderly
After the operation, a precision surgery management and rapid rehabilitation programme was initiated. Medical personnel perform intensive aerobic care, haemorrhage prevention, piped care and pain management, closely monitor daily the signs of life of the elderly, the function of the heart and lungs and the recovery of wounds, dynamically adjust anti-infection, nutritional support and treatment programmes, and effectively prevent complications such as post-operative infections, re-emergence of haemorrhages and lung infections。
With the care and care of the team, the lung infection of the elderly is completely controlled, life signs are smooth, wounds are healed, physical pain is completely reduced, standing and walking capacity is gradually restored, and rehabilitation is now in place。
Yang zheng stated that he was over-age and was not a “no-go zone” for post-mortem fracture surgery. In cases of ultra-age fractures of the neck of a person with physical conditions that are resistant to surgery and anesthesia, artificial joint replacements can help him to stand and walk at an early stage, effectively reduce the risk of complications and promote rapid recovery。
In recent years, the section has been actively pursuing a multidisciplinary and collaborative treatment model for older sepsis patients, improving pre-operative assessment, timely and effective interventions for patients with combined internal medical-related illnesses, and adapting the patient's capabilities to optimal conditions to ensure that the operation is carried out successfully. At the same time, rapid individualized rehabilitation measures have been introduced for patients during the circumsurgical period to help more older patients regain their freedom of movement and enjoy their well-being。
