Application of the Modified Laparotomy Drape in Bilateral Knee Joint Unicompartmental Arthroplasty in Orthopaedics
Objective To explore the effectiveness of a modified laparotomy drape in orthopedic surgery involving both lower limbs.Methods A total of 96 patients,who underwent bilateral knee joint unicompartmental arthroplasty under combined spinal-epidural anesthesia at Suzhou Municipal Hospital of Nanjing Medical University Affiliated Hospital between January 2020 and April 2024,were selected.Among them,71 were female and 25 were male,aged 52 to 85 years with a mean of(69.53±7.05)years.The control group(48 patients)utilized the conventional single-port cotton laparotomy drape,while the observation group(48 patients)used the modified double-port laparotomy drape.Comparisons between the two groups were made in terms of surgery duration,intraoperative temperature reduction,fluctuation of intraoperative mean arterial pressure,surgeon satisfaction,and intraoperative blood loss.Results The observation group exhibited significantly lower surgery duration,intraoperative temperature reduction,and mean arterial pressure fluctuation compared to the control group(P＜0.05).Surgeon satisfaction was significantly higher in the observation group,with statistically significant differences(P＜0.05).However,there was no statistically significant difference in intraoperative blood loss between the two groups(P＞0.05).Conclusion The use of the modified laparotomy drape in orthopedic surgery involving both lower limbs effectively reduces surgery duration,minimizes intraoperative temperature reduction,and alleviates mean arterial pressure fluctuations,with a high level of surgeon satisfaction.Therefore,it is worthy of further promotion.
