  • Mode establishment and preliminary clinical application of anterior cervical surgery in outpatient setting

    Objective To establish the mode of anterior cervical surgery in outpatient setting, and evaluate its preliminary effectiveness. Methods A clinical data of patients who underwent anterior cervical surgery between January 2022 and September 2022 and met the selection criteria was retrospectively analyzed. The surgeries were performed in outpatient setting (n=35, outpatient setting group) or in inpatient setting (n=35, inpatient setting group). There was no significant difference between the two groups (P>0.05) in age, gender, body mass index, smoking, history of alcohol drinking, disease type, the number of surgical levels, operation mode, as well as preoperative Japanese Orthopaedic Association (JOA) score, visual analogue scale score of neck pain (VAS-neck), and visual analogue scale score of upper limb pain (VAS-arm). The operation time, intraoperative blood loss, total hospital stay, postoperative hospital stay, and hospital expenses of the two groups were recorded; JOA score, VAS-neck score, and VAS-arm score were recorded before and immediately after operation, and the differences of the above indexes between pre- and post-operation were calculated. Before discharge, the patient was asked to score satisfaction with a score of 1-10. Results The total hospital stay, postoperative hospital stay, and hospital expenses were significantly lower in the outpatient setting group than in the inpatient setting group (P<0.05). The satisfaction of patients was significantly higher in the outpatient setting group than in the inpatient setting group (P<0.05). There was no significant difference between the two groups in operation time and intraoperative blood loss (P>0.05). The JOA score, VAS-neck score, and VAS-arm score of the two groups significantly improved at immediate after operation when compared with those before operation (P<0.05). There was no significant difference in the improvement of the above scores between the two groups (P>0.05). The patients were followed up (6.67±1.04) months in the outpatient setting group and (5.95±1.90) months in the inpatient setting group, with no significant difference (t=0.089, P=0.929). No surgical complications, such as delayed hematoma, delayed infection, delayed neurological damage, and esophageal fistula, occurred in the two groups. Conclusion The safety and efficiency of anterior cervical surgery performed in outpatient setting were comparable to that performed in inpatient setting. Outpatient surgery mode can significantly shorten the postoperative hospital stay, reduce hospital expenses, and improve the patients’ medical experience. The key points of the outpatient mode of anterior cervical surgery are minimizing damage, complete hemostasis, no drainage placement, and fine perioperative management.

  • Expert consensus on postoperative early mobility for patients undergoing anterior cervical surgery

    Getting out of bed early after surgery is an important measure to promote the clinical concept of accelerated rehabilitation surgery and promote physical and mental rehabilitation of patients. However, at present, the specific implementation plan for early postoperative ambulation of patients undergoing anterior cervical surgery has not formed a unified standard, and there is a lack of reliable evidence to recommend and guide clinical nursing practice. To this end, the Orthopaedic Nursing Professional Committee of Chinese Nursing Association, the Nursing Group of Spine and Spinal Cord Professional Committee of Chinese Rehabilitation Medical Association, and the Nursing Group of Orthopaedic Professional Committee of Sichuan Medical Association, based on evidence-based medical evidence and combined with the clinical experience of experts in related fields, formed an expert consensus on the theme of early postoperative get-out activities of patients undergoing anterior cervical surgery. To provide reference for clinical work, 9 recommendations on early ambulation of patients undergoing anterior cervical surgery were put forward.
