This is an interesting topic. It amazes me how for so many years we pushed rest and letting a body recover and how we know now that while laying in has its place it can also put the body in situations that can be life threatening.
I enjoyed your color scheme as well as the pie chart to break down the types of research articles you used. Well done.
Thanks for sharing your poster on fast tracking rehabilitation! I enjoyed reading it. It is amazing to me that healthcare professionals used to think that making a patient lay in bed for several days after a surgery was beneficial in their healing process. Now we are wanting to get patients up often in the first hours after surgery. Working in the ER, I do get to see my share of post-op complications. Usually these complications are due to patients not following their physician and nurses discharge instructions. Do you think there is any way that we are able to determine who is going to be noncompliant after discharge? What do you think we could do to help those patients that are noncompliant?
I found your poster to be very informative. Fast tracking rehabilitation seems to be becoming standard. In the facility I work at we used to get patients for skilled swing bed care staying in the hospital for therapy because of a recent hip or knee replacement or break. We don’t really see that much anymore. Is there a noticeable difference when a patient is over a certain age as far as their fast track rehabilitation or does it differ with the person? Do any comorbidities play a factor in their ability to recover at the rate fast tracking requires?
