Prevention and management of anemia and blood loss in the orthopaedic patient undergoing surgery is a major concern for healthcare providers and patients. Although transfusion technology can be lifesaving, there are risks to blood products that have led to increased awareness of blood management and development of hospital patient blood management programs. Use of patient blood management can be effective in addressing preoperative anemia, a major modifiable risk factor in patients undergoing surgery. In this informational article, evidence-based practice guidelines for perioperative blood management are addressed. A case scenario is introduced focusing on a patient whose religious preference is Jehovah's Witness having "no blood wishes" undergoing elective orthopaedic surgery. Orthopaedic nurses can facilitate optimal patient blood management through multidisciplinary collaboration.

The benefits of isometric strengthening exercises (ISEs) are compromised when patient teaching on ISEs is delayed and/or ineffectively delivered due to healthcare resources constraint, especially when health resources are stretched, as occurred during the COVID-19 pandemic. This study aims to examine the effect of a video-assisted ISE program on pain and muscle strength of patients following surgical stabilization of lower limb fracture. A quasi-experimental study with repeated measures was employed. Primary study outcomes were assessed using the Brief Pain Inventory and Manual Muscle Test. Effects over time were analyzed using generalized estimating equations. In comparison with usual care group (n = 32), the intervention group (n = 33) showed better pain reduction over time (p < .001, effect size [ES] = 0.39-1.77) and muscle strength preservation (p < .05; ES = 0.8-0.9). Patient acceptance of the intervention was favorable. Integration of video clips into patient teaching on ISEs is potentially beneficial in managing pain and muscle strength; it can be easily deployed to aid early ISE initiation.

Postoperative constipation is a common problem among orthopaedic surgical patients leading to discomfort, increased length of stay, and other complications. The primary purpose of this study was to determine the effectiveness of polyethylene glycol compared with docusate sodium for the prevention of constipation, after total knee arthroplasty. The secondary purpose was to examine the effectiveness of polyethylene glycol on pain and strain with bowel movement. A two-group nonequivalent cohort design was used to evaluate the effect of one 17-g dose of polyethylene glycol by mouth on postoperative day 1 compared with usual care with docusate sodium 100 mg starting the day of surgery and continued twice daily at home. There was no significant difference in the rate of constipation between the two cohorts in the 3 days after surgery. There was no difference in reported pain and strain. Future research should focus on the use of pharmacologic and nursing interventions together for prevention of postoperative constipation in patients with arthroplasty surgery.
