Abstract
Aims The aim of this meta-analysis was to determine the pooled incidence of postoperative urinary retention (POUR) following total hip and knee arthroplasty (total joint replacement (TJR)) and to evaluate the risk factors and complications associated with POUR. Methods Two authors conducted searches in PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, and Scopus on TJR and urinary retention. Eligible studies that reported the rate of POUR and associated risk factors for patients undergoing TJR were included in the analysis. Patient demographic details, medical comorbidities, and postoperative outcomes and complications were separately analyzed. The effect estimates for continuous and categorical data were reported as standardized mean differences (SMDs) and odds ratios (ORs) with 95% CIs, respectively. Results A total of 31 studies were included in the systematic review. Of these, 29 studies entered our meta-analysis, which included 3,273 patients diagnosed with POUR and 11,583 patients without POUR following TJR. The pooled incidence of POUR was 28.06%. Demographic risk factors included male sex (OR 1.81, 95% CI 1.26 to 2.59), increasing age (SMD 0.16, 95% CI 0.04 to 0.27), and American Society of Anesthesiologists grade 3 to 4 (OR 1.39, 95% CI 1.10 to 1.77). Patients with a history of benign prostatic hyperplasia (OR 1.99, 95% CI 1.41 to 2.83) and retention (OR 3.10, 95% CI 1.58 to 6.06) were more likely to develop POUR. Surgery-related risk factors included spinal anaesthesia (OR 1.44, 95% CI 1.19 to 1.74) and postoperative epidural analgesia (OR 2.82, 95% CI 1.65 to 4.82). Total hip arthroplasty was associated with higher odds of POUR compared to total knee arthroplasty (OR 1.10, 95% CI 1.02 to 1.20). Postoperatively, POUR was associated with a longer length of stay (SMD 0.21, 95% CI 0.02 to 0.39). Conclusion Our meta-analysis demonstrated key risk variables for POUR following TJR, which may assist in identifying at-risk patients and direct patient-centered pathways to minimize this postoperative complication.

Abstract
Knee osteoarthritis is a degenerative disorder of the knee, which leads to joint pain, stiffness, and inactivity and significantly affects the quality of life. With an increased prevalence of obesity and greater life expectancies, total knee arthroplasty (TKA) is now one of the major arthroplasty surgeries performed for knee osteoarthritis. When enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) was introduced in TKA, clinical outcomes were enhanced and the economic burden on the healthcare system was reduced. ERAS is an evidence-based scientific protocol aimed at ameliorating the surgical stress response. ERAS aims to enhance the recovery phase, which encompasses multidisciplinary strategies at every step of perioperative care, including the rehabilitation phase. Implementation of ERAS in TKA aids in reducing the length of hospital stay, improving pain management, reducing perioperative complications, and enhancing patient satisfaction. Multidisciplinary collaboration, integrating the expertise of anesthesiologists, orthopedic surgeons, nursing personnel, and other healthcare professionals, is the cornerstone of ERAS in patients undergoing TKA.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Enhanced recovery programs after total hip arthroplasty have been shown to reduce hospital length of stay without compromising results, but yet there is a lack of data for the Swiss population. Therefore, this retrospective cohort study evaluated whether similar positive effects on clinical outcomes are present in the context of the Swiss healthcare system. METHODS Patients who underwent elective primary total hip arthroplasty were analysed. The baseline group comprised 50 patients treated consecutively by one surgeon in 2013 according to the clinical practice guidelines. Another surgeon implemented a new standardised treatment protocol in April 2014. In January 2018, this protocol was followed by an enhanced recovery program that integrated all care providers at the hospital. The data of the baseline group (series 0) and four series of 50 patients each, two treated with the standardised treatment protocol (series 1-2) and two treated with the enhanced recovery program (series 3-4), were analysed. All patients had follow-ups at 6 weeks and 3 months after surgery. The primary outcomes were length of stay and discharge destination; the secondary outcomes were admission on the day of surgery (instead of one day prior), the use of urinary catheters, the administration of opioids, the difference between pre- and postoperative haemoglobin, blood transfusions, and adverse events within 3 months of surgery. RESULTS The median length of stay was 10 days in the baseline group and only 5 days after the implementation of the standardised protocol and enhanced recovery program in series 4 (p <0.001). The percentage of patients discharged directly home was higher in series 4 than in the baseline group (84% vs. 66%, p = 0.085). Patients admitted to the hospital on the day of surgery increased from 2% in series 0 to 98% in series 4 (p <0.001). The use of urinary catheters was significantly higher in the baseline group (100% of patients) than in series 3 and 4 (0%) (p <0.001), and the number of patients who did not require opioids was significantly higher in series 4 than in series 0 (36% vs. 10%, p = 0.007). The median blood loss (500 ml vs. 300 ml, p <0.001), median difference in pre- and postoperative haemoglobin (29 g/dl vs. 25 g/dl, p = 0.145), and number of blood transfusions (5 vs. 2 p = 0.99) were higher in the baseline group than in series 4. The number of adverse events did not differ significantly between groups (p = 0.699). CONCLUSIONS Almost all parameters examined in this study showed improvement, whereas the rate of adverse events was not affected and remained low. The presented data can be used as a benchmark, but details of these findings need to be confirmed in larger cohorts.

Abstract
The Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) or Fast Track is defined as a multi-disciplinary, peri- and post-operative approach finalized to reduce surgical stress and simplify post-operative recovery. It has been introduced more than 20 years ago by Khelet to improve outcomes in general surgery. Fast Track is adapted to the patient's condition and improves traditional rehabilitation methods using evidence-based practices. Fast Track programs have been introduced into total hip arthroplasty (THA) surgery, with a reduction in post-operative length of stay, shorter convalescence, and rapid functional recovery without increased morbidity and mortality. We have divided Fast Track into three cores: pre-, intra-, and post-operative. For the first, we analyzed the standards of patient selection, for the second the anesthesiologic and intraoperative protocols, for the third the possible complications and the appropriate postoperative management. This narrative review aims to present the current status of THA Fast Track surgery research, implementation, and perspectives for further improvements. By implementing the ERAS protocol in the THA setting, an increase in patient satisfaction can be obtained while retaining safety and improving clinical outcomes.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The purpose of this randomized controlled trial was to determine whether a short-term Foley catheter (inserted in the operating room and removed upon arrival to the orthopaedic floor) would reduce the risk of postoperative urinary retention (POUR) in patients undergoing primary total hip (THA) and total knee arthroplasty (TKA). METHODS Three hundred and eighty-eight patients undergoing inpatient primary TKA (n = 228) or THA (n = 160) with spinal anesthesia were randomized to receive a short-term Foley catheter (n = 194) or no Foley (n = 194). There were 143 male and 245 female patients. The primary outcome was POUR, defined as requiring ≥2 straight catheterizations or the placement of an indwelling urinary catheter when indicated by retention of ≥450 mL on bladder scans. Secondary outcomes included urinary tract infections (UTIs) within 3 weeks and the need for ≥1 straight catheterization. A power analysis determined that 194 patients per group were required to detect a 7% minimal clinically important difference in POUR rates at 80% power and alpha of 0.05. Intention-to-treat and as-treated analyses were performed (2 patients received the non-allocated treatment). Outcomes were compared between the groups using univariate and multivariate analyses, with alpha < 0.05. RESULTS Nine patients developed POUR: 4 in the short-term Foley group and 5 in the control group (2.1% versus 2.6%; p = 1.00). Of those who developed POUR, 8 were male and 1 was female (88.9% versus 11.1%; p = 0.002). Twenty-four patients required ≥1 straight catheterization: 10 in the Foley group and 14 in the control group (5.2% versus 7.2%; p = 0.40). Four patients developed UTIs: 3 in the Foley group and 1 in the control group (1.5% versus 0.5%; p = 0.62) on intention-to-treat analysis, and 4 in the Foley group and none in the control group (2.1% versus 0.0%; p = 0.12) on as-treated analysis. CONCLUSIONS The use of a short-term Foley catheter inserted in the operating room and removed on arrival to the orthopaedic floor does not decrease the rate of POUR.

Front Pharmacol 2023; 13:1016203. [PMID: 36699090 PMCID: PMC9868269 DOI: 10.3389/fphar.2022.1016203] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/10/2022] [Accepted: 12/16/2022] [Indexed: 01/11/2023] Open
Abstract
Background: Postoperative urinary retention (POUR) is a common and disruptive complication following total joint arthroplasty (TJA). The aim of this study is to investigate whether doxazosin can decrease the incidence of POUR and promote recovery under the setting of modern enhanced recovery after TJA. Methods: In this randomized placebo-controlled trial, patients over 35 years of age undergoing primary unilateral TJA were recruited. Patients received doxazosin (4 mg once) or placebo 2 h before surgery. The primary outcome of interest was the development of POUR, which was diagnosed when patients with a urine volume over 400 ml or overflow incontinence. Postoperative recovery was assessed in terms of hospital length of stay after surgery, daily ambulation distance, visual analogue scale (VAS) pain score and opioid consumption. Results: A total of 170 male patients were equally randomized into Doxazosin group (mean age 54.2 ± 13.7 years, range 36-88 years) and Placebo group (mean age 54.6 ± 13.9 years, range 38-81 years). The POUR rate was significant lower in Doxazosin group (17.6%) than in Placebo group (36.5%) (p = .006). The mean LOS in the Doxazosin group was 3.1 ± 1.1 days compared to 3.6 ± 1.7 days in the Placebo group (p = .030). Doxazosin group had a longer daily mobilization distance than Placebo group on postoperative day 1 (26.8 ± 11.1 vs. 22.8 ± 9.7; p = .015). Postoperative pain assessed by VAS score and opioid usage was comparable between two groups. Conclusion: Our results support the routine use of prophylactic doxazosin in male patients to decrease POUR rate and promote postoperative recovery under the setting of modern enhanced recovery after TJA.

Abstract
ObjectiveThe meta-analysis aimed to estimate the efficacy of prophylactic tamsulosin on postoperative urinary retention (POUR) in male patients.MethodsPapers were searched in the PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, and Cochrane Library databases with predetermined keywords up to March 1, 2022. The studies reporting the preventive efficacy of prophylactic tamsulosin on POUR among men were identified. Pooled risk ratios (RRs) were calculated based on the random-effects model. Meta-regression was performed to explore potential sources of heterogeneity.ResultsThere were 11 studies with 1,046 patients in the tamsulosin group and 1,113 patients in the control group. The risk of POUR was significantly lower in the tamsulosin group (123/1,046 [11.8%] vs. 238/1,119 [19.0%]; RR = 0.61; 95% confidence interval [CI] 0.43 to 0.87; P = 0.006; heterogeneity: I2 = 57%; P = 0.009). Administration of tamsulosin was related to higher risk of adverse events (57/688 [8.3%] vs. 33/624 [5.3%]; RR = 1.68; 95% CI: 1.13 to 2.48; P = 0.010; heterogeneity: I2 = 33%; P = 0.20). The level of evidence and mean age of the included patients were identified as the potential sources of heterogeneity.ConclusionThe present meta-analysis indicated that prophylactic tamsulosin helps in preventing POUR and younger patients might benefit more from this preventive regimen. Administrating tamsulosin was also associated with a possibly higher risk of adverse events.

Abstract
Purpose: This study aims to describe the incidence of postoperative urinary retention among pediatric patients undergoing orthopedic surgery and identify risk factors. Methods: The Pediatric Health Information System was used to identify children aged 1−18 years who underwent orthopedic surgery. Collected from each patient’s record were demographic information, principal procedure during hospitalization, the presence of neurologic/neuromuscular conditions and other complex chronic medical conditions, the total postoperative length of stay, and the presence of postoperative urinary retention. Results: The overall incidence of postoperative urinary retention was 0.38%. Children with complex chronic neuromuscular conditions (OR 11.54 (95% CI 9.60−13.88), p = < 0.001) and complex chronic non-neuromuscular medical conditions (OR 5.07 (95% CI 4.11−6.25), p ≤ 0.001) had a substantially increased incidence of urinary retention. Surgeries on the spine (OR 3.98 (95% CI 3.28−4.82, p ≤ 0.001) and femur/hip (OR 3.63 (95% CI 3.03−4.36), p ≤ 0.001) were also associated with an increased incidence. Conclusions: Children with complex chronic neuromuscular conditions have a substantially increased risk of experiencing postoperative urinary retention. Complex chronic non-neuromuscular medical conditions and surgeries to the spine, hip, and femur also carry a notably increased risk.

Abstract
Enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) protocols have led to improvements in outcomes in several surgical fields, through multimodal optimization of patient pathways, reductions in complications, improved patient experiences and reductions in the length of stay. However, their use has not been uniformly recognized in all orthopedic fields, and there is still no consensus on the best implementation process. Here, we evaluated pre-, peri-, and post-operative key elements and clinical evidence of ERAS protocols, measurements, and associated outcomes in patients undergoing different orthopedic surgical procedures. A systematic literature search on PubMed, Scopus, and Web of Science Core Collection databases was conducted to identify clinical studies, from 2012 to 2022. Out of the 1154 studies retrieved, 174 (25 on spine surgery, 4 on thorax surgery, 2 on elbow surgery and 143 on hip and/or knee surgery) were considered eligible for this review. Results showed that ERAS protocols improve the recovery from orthopedic surgery, decreasing the length of hospital stays (LOS) and the readmission rates. Comparative studies between ERAS and non-ERAS protocols also showed improvement in patient pain scores, satisfaction, and range of motion. Although ERAS protocols in orthopedic surgery are safe and effective, future studies focusing on specific ERAS elements, in particular for elbow, thorax and spine, are mandatory to optimize the protocols.

Abstract
BACKGROUNDS We intended to identify the incidence and risk factors (RFs) for Postoperative urinary retention (POUR) after applying a risk-stratified catheterization optimization method in enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS)-total joint arthroplasty (TJA). METHODS A total of 381 patients were prospectively monitored for POUR. POUR diagnosis was done by a perioperative specialist. Data on potential risk factors (RFs) for POUR were accumulated. Univariate analysis (UA) was conducted to identify possible indicators of POUR, followed by multivariate analysis (MA) of identified indicators. RESULTS POUR occurred in 5.5% of cases, including 8 (3.4%) patients underwent total knee arthroplasty and 13 (10.4%) patients underwent total hip arthroplasty. In UA, age, sex, American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) score, and the type of operation were significantly different on UA (P = 0.046, P = 0.022, P = 0.000 and P = 0.049, respectively). Other additional predictors, including body mass index (BMI), international prostate symptom score (IPSS) score, preoperative haemoglobin (Hb), duration of operation, estimated intraoperative blood loss, intraoperative fluid volume, fluid infusion volume within 24 h postoperatively were not associated with POUR (P > 0.05). MA results demonstrated that age, ASA score, type of operation and standard intraoperative placement of an indwelling bladder catheter (SIP-IBC) were strongly associated with POUR development risk (P < 0.05). CONCLUSION Overall, we had a low POUR incidence in our study cohort. However, with the shift from non-ERAS TJA to ERAS TJA protocol, it is crucial to closely monitor the male gender, advanced age, THA and SIP-IBC, as these variables can markedly enhance POUR risk.

Postoperative Urinary Retention in Modern Rapid Recovery Total Joint Arthroplasty. J Am Acad Orthop Surg 2022; 30:443-447. [PMID: 35213416 DOI: 10.5435/jaaos-d-21-00963] [Citation(s) in RCA: 7] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/22/2021] [Accepted: 01/30/2022] [Indexed: 02/01/2023] Open
Abstract
Postoperative urinary retention (POUR) is a disruptive complication after modern rapid recovery total joint arthroplasty. This review aims to synthesize the recent literature on POUR in the setting of total joint arthroplasty. The incidence of POUR ranges from 5.5% to 46.3%. The lack of a standardized definition of POUR accounts for some of this variability. Risk factors previously associated with the development of POUR include increasing age, male sex, benign prostatic hyperplasia, use of bupivacaine and intrathecal morphine in spinal anesthesia, glycopyrrolate, and volume of intraoperative intravenous fluid administered. Predictive scoring assessments, such as the International Prostate Symptom Score and a newer predictive nomogram, have not been adequately validated by high-quality studies. The treatment of POUR comprises either intermittent or indwelling urethral catheterization. Higher quality prospective studies are needed to allow for the standardization of all aspects of POUR from its diagnostic criteria to its treatment.

Defining the Learning Curve of Anterior Total Hip Arthroplasty After Fellowship-specific Training. J Am Acad Orthop Surg 2022; 30:e131-e138.

Abstract
PURPOSE To investigate the learning curve associated with performing direct anterior total hip arthroplasty (THA) immediately after fellowship training in this approach. METHODS This was a multicenter, retrospective study that collected data on all direct anterior THAs performed by four fellowship-trained arthroplasty surgeons in their first year of practice. Demographic data, surgical time, blood loss, surgical complications, and medical complications were recorded. Regression models were created to evaluate the outcomes of interest. A generalized linear mixed model was used to estimate the effect of the number of THA procedures performed, a proxy for surgical experience with this procedure, on the variables of interest. RESULTS A total of 286 patients undergoing direct anterior THA were included in this study. A decrease in surgical complications after approximately 40 cases and a decrease in medical complications at 25 to 50 cases were observed. Both surgical time and blood loss showed no learning curve. CONCLUSION Extensive training with a direct anterior approach during fellowship minimizes the learning curve for blood loss and surgical time, but it continues to exist regarding perioperative surgical and medical complications. Recent fellowship graduates should be cautious and expect a learning curve of around 40 cases before complication rates begin to normalize.

Effect of Different Modes of Administration of Dexmedetomidine Combined with Nerve Block on Postoperative Analgesia in Total Knee Arthroplasty. Pain Ther 2021; 10:1649-1662. [PMID: 34595723 PMCID: PMC8586120 DOI: 10.1007/s40122-021-00320-6] [Citation(s) in RCA: 8] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/12/2021] [Accepted: 09/03/2021] [Indexed: 11/30/2022] Open
Abstract
INTRODUCTION Dexmedetomidine (DEX) as a nerve block adjuvant can significantly prolong analgesia. However, whether perineural or systemic administration of DEX is more beneficial in patients undergoing total knee arthroplasty (TKA) has not been thoroughly investigated. To this end, we evaluated the effects of perineural and systemic DEX administration on postoperative analgesia in patients undergoing TKA surgery. METHODS We randomly assigned patients undergoing TKA under general anesthesia combined with femoral nerve block and sciatic nerve block to one of three groups: (1) ropivacaine plus perineural dexmedetomidine (DP): 0.25% ropivacaine 40 mL plus 0.5 μg/kg dexmedetomidine; (2) ropivacaine plus systemic dexmedetomidine (DS): 0.25% ropivacaine 40 mL plus systemic 0.5 μg/kg dexmedetomidine; (3) control group (C): 0.25% ropivacaine 40 mL. RESULTS The average length of time until patients first experienced postoperative pain was significantly longer in the DP group (26.0 h [22.0-30.0 h]) than in the DS group (22.4 h [18-26.8 h]) and the control group (22.9 h [19.5-26.3 h], P = 0.001). For this result there was no significant difference between the DS and the control group. Compared with the DS and control groups, patients in the DP group had lower resting visual analogue scale (VAS) scores at 24, 48, and 72 h after surgery (P < 0.05). VAS activity scores at 12, 24, and 48 h after surgery in the DP group were lower than those in the DS and control groups, with a statistically significant difference (P < 0.05). Compared with the DS and control groups, the amount of postoperative opioids in the DP group was also significantly reduced, and the number of people needing postoperative rescue analgesia was significantly lower, with a statistical difference (P < 0.05). Meanwhile, the sleep satisfaction of patients in the DP group on the first night after surgery and the satisfaction with pain control at 72 h after surgery were both higher than those in the DS group and control group (P < 0.05). CONCLUSIONS Perineural administration of DEX can significantly prolong the interval until patients report pain for the first time after TKA, relieve postoperative pain, reduce postoperative opioid dosage, and improve postoperative sleep quality and satisfaction with pain control. TRIAL REGISTRATION The trial was registered at the Chinese Clinical Trial Registry, identifier ChiCTR1900025808.

Risk Factors for Prolonged Time to Discharge in Total Hip Patients Performed in an Ambulatory Surgery Center due to Complaints of the Inability to Void. J Arthroplasty 2021; 36:3681-3685. [PMID: 34215461 DOI: 10.1016/j.arth.2021.06.010] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/08/2021] [Revised: 06/02/2021] [Accepted: 06/10/2021] [Indexed: 02/02/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Postoperative urinary retention (POUR) is among the reasons for delay in discharge after outpatient total hip arthroplasty (THA), occurring in 2%-46% of patients. We hypothesized that the frequency of POUR following outpatient THA in the ambulatory surgery center (ASC) is low compared to previously reported rates and that management can be effective in the perioperative period when it is encountered. METHODS Three hundred seventy-seven THA patients (409 hips) who had arthroplasties in the ASC over a 5-year period were identified. Preoperatively, appropriate demographic information and medical comorbidities were collected from patient health history questionnaires completed during clinic visits. Intraoperatively, albumin volume administered and estimated blood loss were recorded. Postoperatively, post-anesthesia care unit medications, patients who reported an inability to urinate, and those who required urinary catheterization were recorded. RESULTS POUR occurred in only 2 patients but complaints of the inability to void occurred in 38 others for an incidence of 9.8%. Factors associated with POUR and the inability to urinate included older age, time spent in the ASC, and intraoperatively albumin volume administered. No significant differences were found in body mass index, preoperative hematocrit, estimated blood loss, surgical time, or operating time. CONCLUSION POUR was infrequent but the reported inability to urinate was not (9.8%) and can be safely managed when it does occur and we found that increased age and albumin volume over 500 mL may increase the risk for a prolonged length of stay due to the inability to urinate.

THE ARCHIVES OF BONE AND JOINT SURGERY 2021; 9:480-486. [PMID: 34692929 DOI: 10.22038/abjs.2020.49205.2441] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/03/2020] [Accepted: 12/02/2020] [Indexed: 12/27/2022]
Abstract
Background Urinary catheters (UC) are used by some surgeons during total joint arthroplasty (TJA). This study investigated the impact of intraoperative urinary catheters on postoperative urinary retention (POUR) following TJA cases. Methods We conducted a retrospective comparative study across 11 medical centers on 9,580 TJA patients. Visits to urgent care or the emergency department within 7 and 30 postoperative days were reviewed. Medical records over a 12-month period for all patients older than 18 years old were used to gather demographic and surgical data as well as the incidence of urinary tract infection (UTI). Chi-squared tests (RStudio) were used to determine statistical significance against P-Values (P) < 0.05. Results 13 (0.14%) patients returned within 7 days for POUR. POUR was more common in males [10 (0.3%) vs. 3 (0.1%) females, (P = 0.01)]. There was no difference in POUR when comparing total hip and knee arthroplasty procedures [0.16% vs. 0.12%, (P = 0.60)]. Of all operations, 25% had intraoperative UC use. There was no difference in POUR between the UC and no UC groups [0.21 vs. 0.11%, (P = 0.26)]. However, there was an increase in UTI in UC vs. no UC use within 7 postoperative days [0.92 vs. 0.43%, (P = 0.005)] and 30 postoperative days [2.60 vs. 1.50 %, (P < 0.001)]. Conclusion In our study, there was no difference in POUR rates between the intraoperative UC vs. no UC groups. Therefore, the use of intraoperative UC may not decrease the rate of POUR following TJA procedures. Additionally, UTI risk was higher in the UC group which may be attributable to other factors, especially when comparing female vs. male patients.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Postoperative urinary retention (POUR) after total knee arthroplasty (TKA) may cause urologic injury and delay patient discharge. This study measures the incidence of POUR and identifies predictive risk factors. METHODS Two-hundred seventy-one consecutive patients undergoing primary unilateral TKA were prospectively enrolled. Bladder scans were performed in the postanesthesia care unit (PACU) and every four hours thereafter. POUR was defined as >400cc with inability to void and was treated with catheterization. Patient demographics, urologic history, operative data, perioperative medications, and bladder scanner volumes were investigated with the univariate and multivariate logistic regression analysis. RESULTS Fifty-five patients (20%) developed POUR. Compared with non-POUR patients, PACU bladder scan volumes were greater in patients who developed POUR (344cc vs 120cc, P < .001). POUR patients had lower BMI (27.8 vs 29.4, P = .03), longer operative duration (83.9 vs 76.0 minutes, P = .002), and lower ASA scores (2.2 vs 2.4, P = .02). Total intravenous fluid was equivalent between groups (1134cc vs 1185cc, P = .41). POUR patients received less narcotics measured by morphine milligram equivalents (16.1 vs 23.9, P < .001). Fifteen variables including spinal type (bupivacaine and ropivacaine) and paralytic use were not predictive of POUR. Potentially predictive variables included anesthetic types administered (spinal, general, regional, and combination) and perioperative administration of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), glycopyrrolate, and muscle relaxants. The multivariate analysis showed that NSAIDs (P = .05) and glycopyrrolate (P = .04) were significant predictors. CONCLUSION A significant percentage of patients develop POUR after TKA. Select patient demographics and PACU bladder scanning may identify those at risk. Appropriate pain control and judicious use of perioperative NSAIDs and glycopyrrolate may help minimize the risk of POUR.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To describe the frequency of urinary complaints, bladder globe, and need for bladder relief catheterization according to ultrasound; to investigate the relationship between the urinary volume estimated by ultrasound and the one drained in catheterization; and to describe the relationship of patient's complaints and detection of bladder globe with the diagnosis of urinary retention. METHOD A cross-sectional study with clinical patients with suspected urinary retention in a tertiary hospital, conducted from February to September 2018. Urinary volume ≥500 mL in ultrasound was considered urinary retention. RESULTS Two hundred and five evaluations were performed in 44 patients. Urinary retention was detected by ultrasound in 33.2% of the evaluations. There was a strong correlation between ultrasound and bladder catheterization. There was a higher frequency of identification of bladder globe in urinary volumes ≥300 mL. CONCLUSION The incidence of urinary retention was higher when ultrasound was used for the diagnosis, when compared to patient's complaint and physical examination. Ultrasound showed to be accurate in establishing urinary volume.

Abstract
PURPOSE To investigate whether catheterization remains necessary in non-drainage total knee arthroplasty (TKA) using combined spinal epidural anesthesia (CSEA) with a short-acting opioid by comparing (1) incidences of postoperative urinary retention (POUR), and (2) postoperative clinical outcomes between retained urinary catheter (UC) and non-retained urinary catheter (non-UC) groups. METHODS A total of 230 patients underwent non-drainage TKA using CSEA with fentanyl were randomized into UC and non-UC groups (115 patients each, 115 knees each). Incidences of POUR, clinical outcomes (intraoperative intravenous fluid, operative time, whole blood loss, urinary tract infection (UTI), and length of stay) were evaluated after the operation, while range of motion (ROM) and Knee society score (KSS) were evaluated 3- and 6-month postoperatively. RESULTS Incidences of POUR and other perioperative and postoperative clinical outcomes between the two groups were not significantly different. ROM and KSS at 3- and 6-month postoperatively revealed no significant differences between the groups. CONCLUSION Given no significant difference in POUR incidence, clinical outcomes and knee scores and functions, catheterization in non-drainage TKA under CSEA with a short-acting opioid might not be necessary.

Abstract
Background Postoperative urinary retention (POUR) is a known complication in the postanesthesia care unit (PACU). The variations in catheterization thresholds contribute to unnecessary invasive procedures. Objective In the current study, we implemented an algorithm for a sterile intermittent catheterization (SIC) threshold of 800 ml with volume-dependent bladder scan intervals and compared the incidence of SIC with that of a matched patient cohort threshold of 400 ml. Design, setting, and participants This comparative study of two prospective historical cohorts represented two thresholds for POUR, set at 400 ml without a standardized bladder scan protocol and 800 ml with a volume-dependent bladder scan protocol. Outcome measurements and statistical analysis The primary outcome was the frequency of catheterization during the PACU stay. Secondary outcomes evaluated patient safety aspects in occurrence of thresholds above 400/800 ml. The study was set at the PACU under the Department of Anesthesia, Center for Cancer and Organ Diseases, Rigshospitalet, Denmark. Results and limitations In total, 741 patients were consecutively included, with 307 in the POUR-400 and 434 in the POUR-800 group, and with comparable group characteristics. Significantly fewer patients fulfilled the SIC/catheter a’ demeure (CAD) criteria in the POUR-800 (5.0%) versus POUR-400 (14.3%) group, equivalent to a 65.0% relative reduction in SIC. Conclusions Implementation of a standardized ultrasound-guided protocol with volume-dependent scan intervals and an evidence-based catheterization threshold of 800 ml decreases the need for SIC by >65%, without increasing the need for urinary catheterization at the wards. Patient summary In this study, we implemented an algorithm for a sterile intermittent catheterization threshold of 800 ml with volume-dependent bladder scan intervals. A marked reduction was seen in catheterization in the postanesthesia care unit, without increasing catheterization rates at the ward.

Abstract
Background Knowledge of risk factors for postoperative urinary retention may guide appropriate and timely urinary catheterization. We aimed to determine independent risk factors for postoperative urinary catheterization in general surgical patients. In addition, we calculated bladder filling rate and assessed the time to spontaneous voiding or catheterization. We used the patients previously determined individual maximum bladder capacity as threshold for urinary catheterization. Methods Risk factors for urinary catheterization were prospectively determined in 936 general surgical patients. Patients were at least 18 years of age and operated under general or spinal anesthesia without the need for an indwelling urinary catheter. Patients measured their maximum bladder capacity preoperatively at home, by voiding in a calibrated bowl after a strong urge that could no longer be ignored. Postoperatively, bladder volumes were assessed hourly with ultrasound. When patients reached their maximum bladder capacity and were unable to void, they were catheterized by the nursing staff. Bladder filling rate and time to catheterization were determined. Results Spinal anesthesia was the main independent modifiable risk factor for urinary catheterization (hyperbaric bupivacaine, relative risk 8.1, articaine RR 3.1). Unmodifiable risk factors were a maximum bladder capacity < 500 mL (RR 6.7), duration of surgery ≥ 60 min (RR 5.5), first scanned bladder volume at the Post Anesthesia Care Unit ≥250mL (RR 2.1), and age ≥ 60 years (RR 2.0). Urine production varied from 100 to 200 mL/h. Catheterization or spontaneous voiding took place approximately 4 h postoperatively. Conclusion Spinal anesthesia, longer surgery time, and older age are the main risk factors for urinary retention catheterization. Awareness of these risk factors, regularly bladder volume scanning (at least every 3 h) and using the individual maximum bladder capacity as volume threshold for urinary catheterization may avoid unnecessary urinary catheterization and will prevent bladder overdistention with the attendant risk of lower urinary tract injury.

Abstract
“Fast-track” protocols has improved surgical care with a reduction in length of hospital stay (LOS) in total hip (THA) and knee arthroplasty (TKA). However, the effects of continuous refinement of perioperative care lack detailed assessment. We studied time-related changes in LOS and morbidity after THA and TKA within a collaboration with continuous scientific refinement of perioperative care. Prospective multicentre consecutive cohort study between 2010 and 2017 from nine high-volume orthopaedic centres with established fast-track THA and TKA protocols. Prospective collection of comorbidities and complete 90-day follow-up from the Danish National Patient Registry and medical records. Of 36,935 procedures median age was 69 [62 to 75] years and 58% women. LOS declined from three [two to three] days in 2010 to one [one to two] day in 2017. LOS > 4 days due to “medical” or “surgical” complications, and “with no recorded morbidity” declined from 4.4 to 2.7%, 1.5 to 0.6%, and 3.8 to 1.3%, respectively. 90-days readmission rate declined from 8.6 to 7.7%. Our multicentre study in a socialized healthcare setting was associated with a continuous reduction in LOS and morbidity after THA and TKA.

Abstract
PURPOSE Postoperative urinary retention (POUR) is a common complication after total joint arthroplasties (TJAs). The POUR is managed with urinary catheterization, which is associated with a risk of urinary tract infection and subsequent periprosthetic joint infection. The purpose of this review was to afford a comprehensive understanding of POUR and its management. METHODS We identified 15 original articles concerning POUR after TJA, which were published from January 2010 to February 2019. The diagnostic method, incidence, risk factors, and management of POUR of the 15 studies were reviewed. RESULTS The incidence of POUR was ranged from 4.1% to 46.3%. Ultrasound was used for the detection of POUR among the total of the 15 studies. The following factors of old age, male gender, benign prostatic hypertrophy, history of urinary retention, spinal/epidural anesthesia, excessive fluid administration, patient-controlled analgesia, the use of opiates, underlying comorbidities, and poor American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) grade were risk factors for POUR. Most of the studies did not use indwelling catheterization during surgery. The POUR patients were managed with intermittent catheterization. The most common volume criterion for bladder catheterization was 400 mL. In inevitable use of an indwelling catheter, it should be removed within 48 h. CONCLUSIONS This review provided an up-to-date guide for the detection and management of POUR. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE Level III.

Abstract
Background Postoperative urinary retention (POUR) in total joint arthroplasty (TJA) is common. However, risk factors for POUR and its consequences, specifically on postoperative renal function, have not been well defined. Methods We performed a review of prospectively collected data on consecutive adult patients undergoing primary total joint arthroplasty from August 2014 to December 2015. Catheters were placed preoperatively and removed on the first or second postoperative day. The exclusion criterion was traumatic catheter insertion or the presence of fracture or neoplasm. Univariate and multiple logistic regression identified associations with POUR and its invasive therapies. Subgroup analysis of renal function by incidence of preoperative bladder outlet obstruction (BOO) and POUR was performed with nonparametric testing. Results A total of 591 operations met inclusion criteria. The incidence of POUR was 6.4% and was directly related to a positive history of BOO (odds ratio [OR]: 4.15) and increased the duration of urinary catheterization (OR: 1.04). These factors, in addition to preoperative incontinence (OR: 8.36, 28.69) and lengthier hospitalizations (OR: 1.37, 1.30), were significantly associated with intermittent straight catheterization and reinsertion of an indwelling catheter to treat POUR. Serum creatinine increased with combined preoperative BOO and POUR (+0.22 mg/dL) but was preserved in others (+0.02-0.04 mg/dL) (P < 0.01). Conclusions Preoperative BOO and longer catheterization increased the risk of POUR and were associated with the use of invasive modalities to treat POUR. POUR was associated with a longer hospitalization and impaired renal function in those with preoperative BOO; therefore, renal function should be monitored closely and nephrotoxic medications used cautiously when using urinary catheters in this patient population.

Abstract
As the length of stay for hip and knee arthroplasty has decreased over the years, "outpatient," or same-calendar-day discharge has become increasingly common. Outpatient arthroplasty offers several possible benefits over traditional inpatient arthroplasty, including potential for cost reductions, faster rehabilitation, improved patient satisfaction, and reduced reliance on hospital resources. Despite these possible benefits, concerns remain over feasibility and patient safety. To date, multiple studies have demonstrated that, for select patients, "outpatient" hip and knee arthroplasty can be safe and effective and yield complication and readmission rates similar to inpatient procedures at potentially significant cost savings. Successful outpatient pathways have emphasized careful patient selection, detailed patient education, enlistment of strong social support, utilization of multimodal analgesia and strong "episode ownership," and involvement on behalf of the surgical team. As outpatient hip and knee arthroplasty becomes increasingly common, continued investigation into all aspects of the surgical episode is warranted.

Abstract
Postoperative urinary retention (POUR) may result from orthopaedic procedures and potentially lead to bacteremia and chronic voiding difficulties.
Risk factors for POUR include age, undergoing joint arthroplasty, male sex, intraoperative intravenous fluid administration, operative time, and history of benign prostatic hyperplasia. Indwelling catheterization is the preferred management strategy for patients at risk for developing POUR. A consistent definition of POUR is needed in order to draw conclusions from future studies.

Abstract
Fast-track concepts in hip and knee arthroplasty focus on an early and safe mobilisation after surgery using a multi-modal pain concept with local infiltration anaesthesia. No drains, femoral nerve blocks or urinary catheters are used. Tranexamic acid reduces blood loss and transfusion rates. Cortisone is helpful in reducing pain, PONV and postsurgical stress response. Minimal invasive surgical techniques and the renouncement of a tourniquet lead to a better functional result and less pain. Restrictions and precautions are not evidence-based and should, therefore, be abandoned.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Postoperative urinary retention (POUR) following total joint arthroplasty (TJA) presents a significant barrier to outpatient and early discharge TJA. This study examined the incidence and risk factors for acute POUR in a modern, evidence-based, outpatient, and early discharge TJA program. METHODS Prospectively recorded data on 685 consecutive primary unilateral TJAs discharged the day of or day after surgery were retrospectively reviewed. POUR was diagnosed by a perioperative internal medicine specialist. Univariate analysis of potential predictors was performed, followed by binary logistic regression (BLR) testing of predictors with P ≤ .25. RESULTS After exclusions for confounds, the final analysis sample consisted of 633 procedures. The overall incidence of POUR was 5.5% (3.9% for same day discharges). Male gender, history of urinary retention, use of rocuronium, use of glycopryrrolate, use of neostigmine, fentanyl spinals, and the absence of an indwelling urethral catheter were associated with acute POUR and met criteria for entry into multivariate BLR. Seventeen additional predictors, including kidney disease and outpatient surgery were unrelated to POUR. In the final BLR model (P = .001), male patients who received glycopyrrolate with neostigmine had a 34% probability of developing POUR, which declined to 2.8% in the absence of these risk factors. CONCLUSION Despite a relatively low incidence of 5.5%, avoidance of anticholinergics and cholinesterase inhibitors during anesthesia should be carefully considered in outpatient TJA, particularly in stand-alone ambulatory surgery centers.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Postoperative urinary retention (POUR) is common. Selective alpha-1 adrenergic antagonists, such as tamsulosin, are effective for treating urinary retention. The purpose of this study is to determine whether perioperative prophylactic tamsulosin reduces the incidence of POUR following total hip and knee arthroplasty. METHODS Male patients 35 years of age and older undergoing primary total hip or knee arthroplasty at a single center from 2015 to 2018 were eligible for inclusion. Patients were randomized to receive tamsulosin 0.4 mg or placebo daily for 5 days preoperatively, the morning of surgery, and the first postoperative day. The incidence of POUR was determined during the postoperative hospitalization. RESULTS A total of 176 patients were enrolled in the study. Two patients were withdrawn prior to randomization. The remaining 174 were randomized to tamsulosin (n = 87) or placebo (n = 87). After an additional 43 patients were withdrawn prior to surgery, 131 patients completed the study (tamsulosin, n = 64; placebo, n = 67). A total of 42 patients (32.1%) developed POUR, with 18 cases (28.1%) in the tamsulosin group and 24 cases (35.8%) in the placebo group (P = .345), resulting in an odds ratio of 0.701 and a risk difference of 7.69%. CONCLUSION Prophylactic tamsulosin did not reduce the incidence of POUR after hip and knee arthroplasty compared to placebo. The odds ratio indicates an approximately 30% decreased odds of developing POUR in the tamsulosin group, albeit not statistically significant. Tamsulosin does not appear to be effective as a prophylactic measure for reducing POUR in male hip and knee arthroplasty patients.

Abstract
STUDY DESIGN Retrospective chart review. OBJECTIVE To determine the relative cost-effectiveness of spinal anesthesia and general anesthesia for lumbar laminectomy and microdiscectomy surgery performed in an academic versus private practice hospital setting. METHODS The authors retrospectively reviewed charts of 188 consecutive patients who underwent lumbar laminectomy or microdiscectomy by a single surgeon from 2012 to 2016 at either an academic or a private practice hospital setting. Intraoperative and postoperative outcomes were recorded and direct variable costs were calculated. RESULTS At the academic institution, the direct cost of a lumbar laminectomy or microdiscectomy surgery under general anesthesia was determined to be 9.93% greater than with spinal anesthesia (P = .040). The greatest difference was seen with operating room costs, in which general anesthesia was associated with 18.74% greater costs than spinal anesthesia (P = .016). There was no significant difference in cost at the private practice hospital setting. CONCLUSIONS We conclude that use of spinal anesthesia for lumbar laminectomy leads to less operating room, postanesthesia care unit, and anesthesia times, lower levels of postoperative pain, and no increased rate of other complications compared with general anesthesia at an academic institution as compared to a private practice setting. Spinal anesthesia is 9.93% less expensive than general anesthesia, indicating substantial cost-saving potential. With no sacrifice of patient outcomes and the added benefit of less pain and recovery time, Spinal anesthesia represents a more cost-effective alternative to general anesthesia in lumbar spine surgery in the academic hospital setting.

Abstract
PURPOSE Enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) protocols aim to develop peri-operative multidisciplinary programs to shorten length of hospital stay (LOS) and reduce complications, readmissions and costs for patients undergoing major surgery. The aim of this study is to evaluate the effects of an ERAS pathway for total hip (THR) and knee (TKR) replacement surgery in terms of length of stay, incidence of complications and patient satisfaction. METHODS Patients scheduled for hip and knee replacement were included in the study. The main aspects of this program were preoperative education/physical therapy, rational choice of the anesthetic technique, optimization of multimodal analgesia, reduction of incidence of urinary retention and catheterization, active management of risk for blood loss and deep vein thrombosis, and early mobilization of the patients. All patients had 6 months predicted and planned follow-up appointments. Primary outcomes of the study were the mean LOS, readmission and complication rates. Secondary Outcomes were percentage of Knee Injury & Osteoarthritis Outcome Score (KOOS) and Hip disability and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score (HOOS) increase and patient's satisfaction. RESULTS We consecutively enrolled 207 patients who underwent total joint arthroplasty, 78 hip and 129 knee joint replacements. The mean length of stay (LOS) for patients of the two groups was 4.3 days for ASA 3-4 patients subjected to TKR and THR, in ASA 1-2 patients 3.6 days for TKR and 3.9 days for THR respectively. Postoperative satisfaction level was higher than 7 (very satisfied) in 94.4% of the cases. All patients were discharged home: 61.8% continued physical therapy in complete autonomy, 23.7% supported by a home-physiotherapist and only 14.5% needed the attendance to a physiotherapy center on a daily basis. The overall incidence of major complications was 3.4%. CONCLUSIONS The implementation of an ERAS program for hip and knee replacement surgery allows early patient's discharge and a quick return to independency in the daily activities.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Postoperative stroke is a severe complication with a reported 30-day incidence of 0.4%-0.6% after total hip (THA) and knee arthroplasty (TKA). However, most data are based on diagnostic codes and with limited details on perioperative care, including the use of fast-track protocols. We investigated the incidence of and preoperative and postoperative factors for stroke after fast-track THA/TKA. METHODS We used an observational study design of elective fast-track THA/TKA patients with prospective collection of comorbidity and complete 90-day follow-up. Medical records were evaluated for events potentially disposing to stroke. Identification of relevant preoperative risk factors was done by multivariable logistic regression. Incidence of stroke was compared with a Danish background population. RESULTS Of 24,862 procedures with a median length of stay of 2 (interquartile range, 2-3) days, we found 27 (0.11%; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.08%-0.16%) and 43 strokes (0.17%, 95% CI, 0.13%-0.23%) ≤30 and ≤90 days after surgery, respectively. Preoperative risk factors for stroke ≤30 days were age ≥ 85 years (odds ratio [OR], 4.3; 95% CI, 1.1-16.3) and anticoagulant treatment (OR, 3.1; 95% CI, 1.2-7.9). Preoperative anemia was near significant (OR, 2.1; 95% CI, 0.98-4.6, P = .055). Eight strokes ≤30 days were preceded by a cardiovascular event within the second postoperative day. Incidence of stroke after postoperative day 30 was similar to a Danish background population. CONCLUSION Risk of postoperative stroke in fast-track THA and TKA was low but may be further reduced with increased focus on avoiding perioperative cardiovascular events and in patients with preoperative anticoagulants or anemia.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Postoperative urinary retention (POUR) remains a common complication after total joint arthroplasty (TJA). The objective of this study was to determine the incidence and risk factors for POUR in fast-track TJA emphasizing rapid mobilization, multimodal analgesia, and shorter hospital stay. METHODS Our institutional joint registry was queried for patients who underwent primary TJA between January 2016 and November 2017. The primary outcome was the development of POUR. A panel of demographic, intraoperative, and postoperative variables was investigated. Multivariable regression analyses were performed to control for possible confounding factors. RESULTS One hundred eighty-seven patients who underwent total hip arthroplasty (THA) and 191 patients who underwent total knee arthroplasty (TKA) were included in the study. Forty percent of TKA and 36% of THA patients developed POUR requiring bladder catheterization. Among THA patients, POUR was significantly associated with age >60 years, intraoperative fluid volume >1350 mL, and intraoperative placement of an indwelling bladder catheter (P = .016, P = .035, and P < .001, respectively). Among TKA patients, POUR was only significantly associated with intraoperative indwelling bladder catheter placement (P < .001). CONCLUSION The most significant risk factors for POUR in modern-day fast-track TJA are iatrogenic. Routine intraoperative placement of an indwelling bladder catheter and fluid administration exceeding 1350 mL, especially in patients older than 60 years, are discouraged.

Abstract
Background and purpose - Fast-track care programs in elective total hip and knee replacement (THR/TKR) have been introduced in several countries during the last decade resulting in a significant reduction of hospital stay without any rise in readmissions or early adverse events (AE). We evaluated the risk of readmissions and AE within 30 and 90 days after surgery when a fast-track program was introduced in routine care of joint replacement at 8 Swedish hospitals. Patients and methods - Fast-track care programs were introduced at 8 public hospitals in Västra Götaland region from 2012 to 2014. We obtained data from the Swedish Hip and Knee Arthroplasty Registers for patients operated with THR and TKR in 2011-2015. All readmissions and new contacts with the health care system within 3 months with a possible connection to the surgical intervention were requested from the regional patient register. We compared patients operated before and after the introduction of the fast-track program. Results - Implementation of the fast-track program resulted in a decrease in median hospital length of stay (LOS) from 5 to 3 days in both THR and TKR. The total readmission rate <90 days for THR was 7.2% with fast-track compared with 6.7% in the previous program, and for TKR 8.4% in both groups. Almost half of the readmissions occurred without any AE identified. There was no statistically significant difference concerning readmissions or AE when comparing the programs. Interpretation - Implementation of a fast-track care program in routine care of elective hip and knee replacement is effective in reducing hospital stay without increasing the risk of readmissions or adverse events within 90 days after surgery.

Abstract
Objective To summarize the latest developments in the enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) in the geriatric hip fractures and its perioperative therapy management. Methods The recent original literature on the ERAS in the geriatric hip fractures were extensively reviewed, illustrating the concepts and properties of the ERAS in the geriatric hip fractures. Results It has been considered to be associated with the decreased postoperative morbidity, reduced hospital length of stay, and cost savings to implement ERAS protocols, including multimodal analgesia, inflammation control, intravenous fluid therapy, early mobilization, psychological counseling, and so on, in the perioperative (emergency, preoperative, intraoperative, postoperative) management of the geriatric hip fractures. The application of ERAS in the geriatric hip fractures guarantees the health benefits of patients and saves medical expenses, which also provides basis and guidance for the further development and improvement of the entire process perioperative management in the geriatric hip fractures. Conclusion Significant progress has been made in the application of ERAS in the geriatric hip fractures. ERAS protocols should be a priority for perioperative therapy management in the geriatric hip fractures.

Incidence and related factors for intraoperative failed spinal anaesthesia for lower limb arthroplasty. Acta Anaesthesiol Scand 2018; 62:993-1000. [PMID: 29578248 DOI: 10.1111/aas.13118] [Citation(s) in RCA: 14] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/09/2017] [Revised: 02/06/2018] [Accepted: 02/19/2018] [Indexed: 12/20/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Spinal anaesthesia is the preferred choice for total hip- and knee arthroplasty (THA/TKA), due to the claimed superior outcome profile, relative simple technique and without the need for advanced airway support. However, choosing and informing about spinal anaesthesia should also include the risk for intraoperative failed spinal anaesthesia with associated pain, discomfort and suboptimal settings for airway management. Small-scale studies suggest incidences from 1 to 17%; however, no multi-institutional large data exists on failed spinal incidence and related factors during THA/TKA, hindering evidence-based information and potential anaesthesia stratification. METHODS In a sub-analysis, data from a prospective study on spinal anaesthesia for THA/TKA were examined for incidence of intraoperative conversion to general anaesthesia. Potential perioperative factors (age, gender, American Society of Anaesthesiologist (ASA) score, height, weight, BMI, procedure, bupivacaine dosage and duration of time from spinal administration until end of surgery) were analysed with logistic regression for relation to failed spinal anaesthesia. RESULTS In all, 1451 patients were included for analysis, whereof 57 (3.9%) had failed spinal anaesthesia. Spinal failure patients were significantly younger (61 vs. 67 years, P = 0.003), and operation time longer in the failed spinal group vs no-failure, respectively (133 vs. 89 min, P < 0.001). No significant differences were found with regard to bupivacaine volume, gender, ASA-score, height, weight, BMI or THA vs. TKA. CONCLUSION Failed spinal anaesthesia for THA and TKA is a relatively frequent occurrence and identification of risk patients is not feasible. These results should be considered when choosing anaesthesia and included in the information to patients.

J Arthroplasty 2018; 33:1546-1551.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Postoperative urinary retention (POUR) appears to be a common complication in lower limb joint arthroplasty; however, reports on its incidence vary. There is no general consensus on its definition and there is no scientific evidence on treatment principles. We performed a prospective observational study to establish the incidence of POUR and its risk factors, including the preoperative postvoid residual urine volume and the perioperative fluid balance, in fast-track total joint arthroplasty (TJA). The preoperative residual urine volume and the perioperative fluid balance have not been studied in previous literature in the context of TJA and POUR. METHODS Three hundred eighty-one patients who underwent TJA of the lower limb were observed on developing POUR according to our local treatment protocol. Data on possible risk factors for POUR were collected including the perioperative fluid balance and the preoperative residual urine volume. RESULTS In total, 46.3% of patients were catheterized. A preoperative postvoid urine retention is a significant predictor of catheterization for postoperative residual urine (P = .03). Spinal anesthesia was correlated with urinary retention (P = .01). There was no cause-effect relationship between POUR and the perioperative fluid balance. CONCLUSION This study underlines POUR as a common complication in fast-track lower limb arthroplasty, with spinal anesthesia as a risk factor. A higher preoperative residual urine volume leads to higher postoperative residual volume, but not to a higher change in urinary retention. Increased perioperative fluid administration is not correlated with the incidence of POUR. Furthermore, there seems to be little rationale for monitoring residual urine volume both preoperatively and postoperatively.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Persistent or increased long-term opioid consumption has previously been described following total hip- (THA) and knee arthroplasty (TKA). However, detailed information on postoperative analgesic consumption trajectories and risk factors associated with continued need of analgesics in fast-track THA and TKA is sparse. METHODS This is a descriptive multicentre study in primary unilateral fast-track THA or TKA with prospective data on patient characteristics and information on reimbursement entitled dispensed prescriptions of paracetamol, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, opioids, anticonvulsants and antidepressants 1 month preoperatively and 1 year postoperatively. Patients were stratified according to preoperative opioid use. Postoperative analgesic consumption trajectories were stratified as increased, decreased or no use compared to the preoperative period. RESULTS Of 8975 patients (4849 THA/4126 TKA), 33.9% had relevant reimbursed prescriptions 9-12 months postoperatively. Of 2136 (23.8%) patients with preoperative opioid use, 3.4% had unchanged opioid consumption at 9-12 months postoperatively. However, increased opioid consumption after 9-12 months occurred in 17.6 (TKA) and 10.2% (THA) compared to 9.9 and 6.3% in opioid-naive TKA and THA patients, respectively. Increased NSAID and paracetamol use was seen in 11.5 and 12.4% of all patients. Preoperative analgesic use (any), TKA, psychiatric disorder, tobacco abuse, cardiac disease and use of walking aids were associated with increased opioid consumption. CONCLUSION Continued and increased opioid and other analgesic use occur in a clinically significant proportion of fast-track TKA and THA patients 9-12 months postoperatively, suggesting treatment failure and need for early intervention. Preoperative risk assessment may allow identification of patients in risk of increased postoperative opioid consumption. SIGNIFICANCE We found a considerable fraction of patients with continued or increased opioid consumption 9-12 months after fast-track THA and TKA. Increase in opioid consumption was more frequent in preoperative opioid users than opioid-naive patients, but a pattern of increased analgesic consumption was present across all analgesics. Our data demonstrate a need for increased focus on long-term analgesic strategies and postoperative follow-up after THA and TKA, especially in preoperative opioid users.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The purpose of this study is to determine the incidence, risk factors, and clinical implications of pneumonia following total joint arthroplasty (TJA). METHODS The American College of Surgeons National Surgical Quality Improvement Program was used to conduct a retrospective cohort study of patients undergoing TJA. Independent risk factors for the development of pneumonia within 30 days of TJA were identified using multivariate regression. Mortality and readmission rates were compared between patients who did and did not develop pneumonia. Multivariate regression was used to adjust for all demographic, comorbidity, and procedural characteristics. RESULTS In total, 171,200 patients met inclusion criteria, of whom 66,493 (38.8%) underwent THA and 104,707 (61.2%) underwent TKA. Of the 171,200 patients, 590 developed pneumonia, yielding a rate of 0.34% (95% confidence interval = 0.32%-0.37%). Independent risk factors for pneumonia were chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, diabetes mellitus, greater age (most notably ≥80 years), dyspnea on exertion, dependent functional status, lower body mass index, hypertension, current smoker status, and male sex. The subset of patients who developed pneumonia following discharge had a higher readmission rate (82.1% vs 3.4%, adjusted relative risk [RR] = 16.6, P < .001) and a higher mortality rate (3.7% vs 0.1%, adjusted RR = 19.4, P < .001). Among 124 total mortalities, 22 (17.7%) occurred in patients who had developed pneumonia. CONCLUSION Pneumonia is a serious complication following TJA that occurs in approximately 1 in 300 patients. Approximately 4 in 5 patients who develop pneumonia are subsequently readmitted, and approximately 1 in 25 die. Given the serious implications of this complication, evidence-based pneumonia prevention programs including oral hygiene with chlorhexidine, sitting upright for meals, elevation of the head of the bed to at least 30°, aggressive incentive spirometry, and early ambulation should be considered for patients at greatest risk.

The authors hypothesized that a catheterization threshold of 800 ml was superior to 500 ml in reducing postoperative urinary catheterization and urological complications after fast-track total hip arthroplasty (THA) and total knee arthroplasty (TKA). METHODS This was a randomized, controlled, open-label trial that included patients greater than or equal to 18 yr who underwent THA or TKA in three Danish, fast-track, orthopedic departments. Consenting patients were eligible if they were cooperative and understood Danish. Participants were randomly allocated to a catheterization threshold of 500 or 800 ml, using opaque sealed envelopes. Group assignment was unmasked. Ultrasound bladder scans were performed every second hour until the first voluntary micturition, with subsequent urinary catheterization according to group assignment. The primary outcome was the number of patients catheterized before their first voluntary micturition. Thirty-day telephonic follow-up was on voiding difficulties, urinary tract infections, and readmissions. RESULTS Of 800 patients allocated, 721 (90%) were included in a per-protocol analysis (20 did not complete the study and 59 were excluded from the analysis). In the 500-ml group, 32.2% received catheterization (114 of 354) compared to 13.4% (49 of 367) in the 800-ml group (relative risk, 0.4; 95% CI, 0.3 to 0.6; P < 0.0001). The authors found no difference between groups in any secondary outcome. CONCLUSIONS In fast-track THA and TKA, a catheterization threshold of 800 ml significantly reduced the need for postoperative urinary catheterization, without increasing urological complications. This large randomized, controlled trial may serve as a basis for evidence-based guidelines on perioperative urinary bladder management.

Abstract
‘Fast-track’ surgery was introduced more than 20 years ago and may be defined as a co-ordinated peri-operative approach aimed at reducing surgical stress and facilitating post-operative recovery. The fast-track programmes have now been introduced into total hip arthroplasty (THA) surgery with reduction in post-operative length of stay, shorter convalescence and rapid functional recovery without increased morbidity and mortality. This has been achieved by focusing on a multidisciplinary collaboration and establishing ‘fast-track’ units, with a well-defined organisational set-up tailored to deliver an accelerated peri-operative course of fast-track surgical THA procedures. Fast-track THA surgery now works extremely well in the standard THA patient. However, all patients are different and fine-tuning of the multiple areas in fast-track pathways to get patients with special needs or high co-morbidity burden through a safe and effective fast-track THA pathway is important. In this narrative review, the principles of fast-track THA surgery are presented together with the present status of implementation and perspectives for further improvements.

Abstract
Background Acute retention of urine (AROU) is commonly occurred in patients with geriatric hip fractures after surgeries. It is common that the catheters cannot be weaned off after insertion. Objectives We compared an approach using unified Trial Without Catheter (TWOC) protocol with non-unified management plans in patients with retention of urine after hip fracture surgery, to compare these approaches in terms of (1) rate of successful catheter removal, (2) duration required for successful catheter removal, (3) number of episodes of urinary tract infection, and (4) length of hospital stay. Methods We conducted a retrospective cohort study of 250 patients who failed to wean off a urinary catheter. 140 out of 1349 patients between December 2012 and September 2014 formed the intervention group (treated with unified TWOC protocol), and 110 out of 1193 patients between July 2006 and December 2008 were the control group (treated with different AROU management approaches). The efficiency and effectiveness of the urological management in both groups were compared. Results As expected, the rate of successful TWOC was higher in intervention group (before discharge, 68.6% versus 38.2%; after discharge, 20.0% versus 18.2%, overall, 88.6% versus 56.4%). Despite trial of weaning off urinary catheters, 16 patients in intervention group and 8 patients in control group failed with permanent catheter required. Forty patients in control group were discharged with permanently catheters without a trial of TWOC. Conclusion The TWOC program provides structured and standardized urological management for patients suffered from AROU after geriatric hip fracture surgeries. To reiterate, indwelling urethral catheters must not be placed permanently without carrying out urological assessment in patients with geriatric hip fractures.

Abstract
Urinary tract infection is a common complication after total knee arthroplasty (TKA) and can be related to urethral catheterization. This study attempted to determine whether nocturia could be used as an indicator of risk for postoperative urinary retention to limit the need for prophylactic catheterization in men undergoing TKA. A retrospective study was performed in a consecutive series of men undergoing TKA at a single Veterans Affairs medical center. Patients reporting 0 episodes or 1 episode of nocturia per night were not catheterized prophylactically, and patients reporting 2 or more episodes of nocturia each night were catheterized preoperatively. Of 100 consecutive patients, 51 reported no more than 1 episode of nocturia and did not undergo preoperative catheterization. Of these patients, 10 required 1 postoperative straight catheterization for urinary retention. In the 49 patients who were catheterized prophylactically, all catheters were removed on postoperative day 1. Only 1 of these patients required reinsertion of a catheter. No patient in either group was discharged with a catheter or had a urinary tract infection. Previously, the authors' standard protocol was to use a prophylactic urinary catheter for all men after TKA. In this 100-patient cohort, with this new protocol, 41 patients were not catheterized at all and 10 patients had only 1 straight catheterization. In this study, the frequency of nocturia in men undergoing TKA was an effective screening tool that safely reduced the need for an indwelling catheter in 51% of patients.
