Undersedation during total hip arthroplasty reduction results in worse patient outcomes

Journal of Arthroplasty Aug 18, 2019

Ryan SP, et al. - Via a retrospective review of isolated propofol conscious sedation conducted in the ED for closed reduction of 79 THA dislocations from 2013 to 2019, researchers hypothesized that “undersedated” individuals would have worse outcomes in comparison with relevantly sedated individuals on the basis of the dose. Thirty-seven individuals had undergone revision surgery and 44 formerly had a dislocation. A total of 39 individuals were undersedated. No important variation in demographics or arthroplasty-specific variables between undersedated and “protocol” sedation individuals was found. Undersedated individuals had significantly prolonged sedation time, more re-doses, and greater total dose. These individuals were also more inclined to have failed ED closed reduction. In an undersedated individuals, one complication of a skin tear from countertraction was noticed. Historically, conscious sedation for THA dislocations had been the responsibility of the emergency room clinician. In regards of our outcomes, researchers advocated for a multidisciplinary team to make a sedation protocol, burdening the necessity to maintain a dosing regimen of 0.5 mg/kg/dose to enhance the care of THA individuals.
