Practica segura del proceso de atención de enfermería en las complicaciones post operatorias de prótesis de cadera

Abstract

The total hip prosthesis is the replacement of the natural joint by an artificial one, it is one of the greatest achievements of orthopedic surgery of the 21st century. Patients who enter hospitalization diagnosed as hip fracture, may have two post-surgical axes of which 50% of cases do not leave sequelae or there are minimal sequelae that do not alter their functional status, otherwise 30% of cases leave serious sequelae and may even be bedridden in a fixed way. Hildegard Peplau in her theory, defines the nursing activity to the process of interpersonal therapeutic relationship to the individual that requires help and to the professional nursing staff that is qualified to provide help recognizing and satisfying the needs that for evident reasons before a surgical process arise feelings of anxiety, fear of change in their lifestyle. We indicate as objective in this work to theoretically look for the most frequent post-surgical complications, to propose the prevention of morbidity and mortality by applying the process of nursing care.
