Abstract

Hip fractures in the elderly have skyrocketed, from 1.7 million in 1990 to an estimated 6.3 million by 2050. Disability, described as a loss or impairment of baseline daily function following the fracture event, has been found in two-thirds of this group of patients. Following hip fracture repair surgery, patients over the age of 60 have been found to have a higher risk of serious pulmonary complications such as pneumonia, atelectasis, and pulmonary thromboembolism. When major pulmonary complications arise, the 30-day mortality rate has been reported to be as high as 17%. Finally, we discovered that after hip fracture surgery, the one-year incidence rate of stroke was 1.5 percent, with five distinct risk factors: advanced age, prior stroke history, ASA III and above, long-term aspirin use, and elevated RDW level. Despite the fact that the majority of them are unchangeable, they can provide data for the creation of predictive models for stroke occurrence and assist in patient counseling about their stroke risk following surgery. The aim of this study was to test whether our hospital's integrated hip fracture and osteoporosis rehabilitation programme (I-HOPE programme) could help this demographic. This research has a number of flaws, including its nonrandomized nature, limited sample size, and lack of lung physiology measures including pulmonary function. On a chest x-ray, there is a drop in lung volume and arterial blood gas. However, to our knowledge, this is the first analysis of its kind to investigate the effects of an inpatient pulmonary rehabilitation programme on respiratory problems in the elderly after surgery. Patients who have undergone hip fracture surgery. Our findings point to the advantages. The forming a multidisciplinary team to increase service quality which is clinical environment necessitates a high level of treatment. Finally, multidisciplinary treatment, which includes a pulmonary rehabilitation team, will minimize the length of hospitalization and the risk of pneumonia during the recovery period following discharge.
