Abstract

Background: The ERAS (Enhanced Recovery After Surgery) program provides comprehensive care for patients in the pre-operative, intra-operative and post-operative stages to reduce length of hospital stays, improve treatment quality, reduce costs and reduce complication rates for patients. Objectives: Evaluation of pain level according to pain scale VAS (Visual Analog Scale), length of hospital stays and complications rate of hip replacement surgery patients applied ERAS program. Methods: Descriptive research design. Data collection period is from December 2021 to December 2022 at the Department of Orthopaedics – University Medical Center, Ho Chi Minh City. Results: VAS pain score pre-operative: 3.52 ± 0.97and VAS at the time of hospital discharge: 2.91±0.63 (P<0.01). The mean hospital stay was 7.14±2.89 days. The rate of general complications of patients after hip replacement surgery was 3.3%. Conclusions: The ERAS program being applied in the department initially showed a statistically significant decrease in VAS pain score after hip replacement surgery compared to before surgery.
