Main Article Content
Abstract
Background: Knee replacement is a common surgery worldwide. The ERAS program (Enhanced RecoVery After Surgery) – enhances recoVery after orthopedic surgery with the goal of reducing hospital stay and reducing complication rates. Objectives: EValuation of pain leVel according to pain scale VAS (Visual Analog Scale), length of hospital stays and complications rate of knee 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 preoperatiVe: 3.02±0.75 and VAS at the time of hospital discharge: 2.58±0.60 (P<0.01). The mean hospital stay was 6.49±1.67 days. The rate of complications (urinary tract infection) of patients after knee replacement surgery was 3.1%.
