HIP REPLACEMENT

[Virtual Presenter] Good morning everyone, we are gathered here today to discuss hip replacement surgery. We will look at the indications, types, postoperative care, and nursing interventions associated with the procedure. Let's get started..

[Audio] Hip replacement is a surgical procedure in which a badly worn hip joint is removed and replaced with artificial parts. The new joint typically consists of metal and plastic components, which enable a person to gain improved mobility and reduce pain. It is a major breakthrough in medical science, providing individuals with a much better quality of life..

[Audio] Hip replacement surgery is a treatment option for various conditions related to the hips. These include arthritis, femoral neck fractures, the failure of previous reconstructive surgeries, and complications from congenital hip diseases. It is an effective and life-changing procedure that can help improve these issues..

[Audio] Regarding hip replacement, there are three main types. Partial hip replacement only replaces the femoral head, total hip replacement replaces both the ball and socket, and resurfacing hip replacement replaces the femoral head, leaving the inner part of the joint untouched..

[Audio] Hemiarthroplasty, also known as partial hip replacement, is a surgical procedure that replaces only one side of the hip joint. It is usually done for elderly persons who have fractured their hip bone. During the procedure, the impaired part of the hip is swapped out with a prosthetic implant, which enhances mobility and escalates the quality of life..

[Audio] A total hip replacement is a surgical procedure used to treat severely damaged hip joints. The procedure involves replacing the damaged hip joint with an artificial implant, which allows for greater range of motion and lowers the possibility of future pain and disability. This type of procedure is performed in many hospitals in the United States and is an effective way to handle hip pain and restore mobility..

[Audio] The resurfacing hip replacement involves trimming the damaged bones and cartilages forming the hip joint to create a smooth metal cap on the femur, or thigh bone. This metal cap is designed to bond with the hip and provide long-lasting relief from hip pain..

[Audio] Following a hip replacement, it is essential to prioritize post-operative care. The nurse evaluates and re-evaluates the patient's needs such as pain, neurovascular condition, health promotion, mobility, and self-esteem. Additionally, drainage from tissue perfusion and vital signs are consistently monitored. Through regularly assessing and monitoring the patient's needs, the nurse can offer the patient the optimal care and guarantee a successful recovery..

[Audio] Hip replacement is a major surgery that comes with its own set of potential complications, including dislocation of the hip prothesis, excessive wound drainage, thromboembolism, infection, heel pressure sore, and venous thromboembolism including deep vein thrombosis or pulmonary embolism. Therefore, it is essential to be aware of the possible risks before deciding to undergo this type of operation..

[Audio] In regards to nursing interventions for group 2 undergoing a hip replacement, it is important to address potential complications such as hypovolemic shock, atelectasis, pneumonia, urinary retention, constipation, and fecal impaction. Hypovolemic shock is a state of low blood volume which can result in tissue damage and organ failure. Atelectasis is a collapse of the lungs, and pneumonia is another potential side effect. Urinary retention can also occur, and constipation and fecal impaction must be properly treated..

[Audio] Following orthopedic surgery, it is essential to strive for multiple goals: to reduce pain, ensure neurovascular function is adequate, promote overall health, improve mobility, build positive self-esteem, and avoid any complications. To do so, proper postoperative care must be implemented, taking into consideration the individual needs of the patient. This may involve physical therapy, medication, dietary changes, and lifestyle modifications. A dedication to the right plan of action allows the patient to reclaim their life in an effective and safe manner..

[Audio] Nurses play a key role in the postoperative phase, offering interventions that support positive health outcomes for the patient. Pain management helps to maximize the potential benefits of surgery, while also providing treatment for any neurological, vascular or musculoskeletal complications that may arise. To further promote physical mobility, rehabilitation exercises and physical therapy should be incorporated into care. Lastly, effective communication and support should be utilized to boost patient self-esteem..

[Audio] Group 2 of the Hip Replacement Presentation consists of 11 members – Abraham Buxton, Vera Oye Larbi, Salomey A. Akoto, Lucky Agbavor, Priscilla N. Ntim, Eunice A. Kwarteng, Daniel Agyei Tetteh, Wendy F. Opoku, Priscilla S. Danso and Esther Quarm – each with their own unique ID number. This team of individuals brings various strengths and experiences which contribute to a productive and successful experience..

[Audio] We are here to present you with Hip Replacement Group 2, an innovative approach to hip replacement surgery. This procedure uses a simpler and safer implant than traditional hip replacements, which results in a faster recovery time. Additionally, this approach is more cost-effective and offers a more long-lasting solution. We are confident that this revolutionary approach is the best choice for those in need of hip replacement surgery..
