A Swallowing Screening Test Enhances a Better Recognition of Patients with a Hip Fracture at Risk for Oropharyngeal Dysphagia
Oropharyngeal dysphagia (OD) is commonly encountered in elderly patients with hip fracture. It is easily overlooked and predisposes patients to life-threatening postoperative pneumonia. The aim of this study was to evaluate whether OD screening by nurses results in a better recognition of patients at risk for OD. After the introduction of the Standardized Swallowing Assessment by nurses, the incidence of increased risk for OD and the prevention of OD complications were monitored (intervention group; N = 92) and compared with a historical control group (N = 81). The risk for OD was diagnosed in 27 patients (29%) in the inte...

Evaluating Tourniquet Efficacy Comparing Exsanguination Techniques for the Upper Extremity
Tourniquets have been used in the medical setting for centuries and have become the gold standard when preparing patients for surgery, particularly in orthopaedic surgery. Upper extremity tourniquet use improves intraoperative visibility and identification of anatomy. It also decreases blood loss intraoperatively and improves the safety of orthopaedic procedures. Despite the widespread use of tourniquets and differing methods of limb exsanguination, little research has been done quantifying its efficacy. The purpose of this study was to compare gravity exsanguination to Esmarch exsanguination of the upper extremity prior t...

Preoperative Delirium Nursing Model Initiatives to Determine the Incidence of Postoperative Delirium Among Elderly Orthopaedic Patients
This study aimed to investigate the incidence and risk factors of postoperative delirium in older adults (≥60 years) who underwent orthopaedic surgery. Elderly orthopaedic patients were recruited from a large urban hospital over 12 months. Patients were preoperatively screened for delirium and followed up at least once daily postoperatively until discharge. Of the 124 patients in the sample, 21 (16.9%) had postoperative delirium. There were no significant differences in any of the baseline characteristics between the delirious and nondelirious patients. Patients using antidepressants were more likely to develop postopera...

The Relationship Between Pain and Quality of Life Among Adults With Knee Osteoarthritis: The Mediating Effects of Lower Extremity Functional Status and Depression
Pain, lower extremity functional status, and depression have been associated with quality of life among patients with knee osteoarthritis (KOA). However, little is known about the manner in which these factors influence quality of life. The present study examined the mediating effects of lower extremity functional status and depression on the relationship between pain and quality of life among adults with KOA. A descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted among 135 adults with KOA who visited an orthopaedic outpatient clinic in Korea. The participants responded to the Numeric Rating Scale, Lower Extremity Functional Sc...

A Personalized Shared Decision-Making Tool for Osteoarthritis Management of the Knee
Shared decision making (SDM) is a key component of patient-centered care where clinical evidence and the patient's preference and values are considered. Physical activity and weight loss are often recommendations in the treatment plan, especially in mild to moderate stage of osteoarthritis (OA). Movement is Life™ created an innovative SDM tool providing a framework for patient-centered discussions. The tool leverages an underlying Markov Model and represents the likely pain, activity levels, and lost productivity at three future time points. Comparing the patient's likely progression depending on treatment choices to doi...
