Analysis of Fast-Track Surgery with Pain Care on Postoperative Pain Improvement and Complication Prevention in Perioperative Spine Surgery Patients

OBJECTIVE: The study aimed to analyze the effect of fast-track surgery with pain care on the improvement of postoperative pain and the prevention of postoperative complications in perioperative spinal surgery patients. METHODS: A total of 126 patients undergoing spinal surgery from January 2021 to September 2021 were chosen as the study population, and the patients were classified into the regular group, the FTS group, and the combined group by random grouping, with 42 cases in each group. Patients in the regular group used routine perioperative care in spine surgery, patients in the FTS group used the FTS care model, and patients in the combined group combined special pain care on the basis of the FTS group. We compared the numeric rating scale (NRS) and pain severity of patients in the three groups post-op, 30 min, 1 h, 3 h, 6 h, and 24 h after surgery; we compared the time to get out of bed, length of stay, and occurrence of postoperative adverse effects in the three groups, compared the incidence of complications in the three groups, and compared the satisfaction of care in the three groups. RESULTS: The NRS scores at 12 h, 24 h, 48 h, and 72 h post-op in the combined group and FTS group were lower than those in the regular group, and the NRS scores at 12 h and 24 h post-op in the combined group were lower than those in the FTS group (all P < 0.05); the post-op bed activity time, post-op hospitalization time, post-op adverse reaction rate, and post-op complication rate in the combined group and FTS group were shorter or lower than those of the regular group. Nursing satisfaction was higher than that of the regular group, the post-op time to bed activity in the combined group was shorter than that of the FTS group, and nursing satisfaction was higher than that of the FTS group (all P < 0.05). CONCLUSION: The use of FTS with pain care interventions helps relieve postoperative pain in perioperative patients in spine surgery, reduce the incidence of post-op adverse effects and complications in patients, accelerate their postoperative recovery, and improve nursing satisfaction.
