Objective  To explore the influence of applying the fast-track surgery (FTS) to optimize the process in the perioperative period of cardiac intervention on the rehabilitation of patients with radial artery stenting surgery. Methods  A total of 190 patients with radial artery stenting surgery in the Department of Cardiology, West China Hospital from June 2017 to May 2018 were enrolled. They were randomized into a control group (n=95) and a FTS group (n=95) by random umber table. There were 60 males and 35 females aged 35-88 (65.2±9.6) years in the control group as well as 62 males and 33 females aged 34-86 (61.5±11.3) years in the FTS group. Patients in the control group received routine perioperative care, but patients in the FTS group received individual precision interventions by applying the FTS concept to optimize the process of perioperative care, including individual care management before being admitted into hospital, during hospital, and after discharge from hospital. Duration of hospital stay, satisfaction scores, number of comorbidities after surgery, disease self-management ability, and readmission rates were compared between the two groups. Results  Compared to the control group, the FTS group had significantly shorter duration of hospital stay, less comorbidities, higher satisfaction scores and disease self-management ability, and lower readmission rate to hospital (P<0.05). Conclusion  Applying FTS into the perioperative period of cardiac interventions to optimize its process can help patients recover from radial artery stenting surgery, increase patients’ self-management abilities, shorten duration of hospital stay and decrease comorbidities and cardiac adverse events.
