An Analysis of the Outcomes From Protocolized Perioperative Care for Patients Receiving Total Hip or Knee Arthroplasty

The care for patients receiving total hip and knee arthroplasty at the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences has followed a structured care pathway since July 2015. This system of perioperative care has focused on preoperative assessment of medical co-morbidities and risks to postoperative functional recovery, anesthetic care focused on postoperative nausea and vomiting prevention and optimizing immediate postoperative functional ability, and aggressive postoperative physical therapy.

This is an observational study to look at the outcomes of this program at University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences. Areas of focus will be hospital length of stay, postoperative narcotic consumption, Visual Analog Scale scores, incidence of postoperative nausea and vomiting, and 30-day readmission rates, and health literacy rates.
