Abstract: OBJECTIVE To investigate the effect of body position intervention on pulmonary infection in patients with hip fracture. METHODS A total of 238 patients undergoing hip fracture surgery from Jan.2016 to Jun.2017 were enrolled in the study.The patients were divided into the experimental group and the control group according to the random number table method.The control group underwent routine orthopedic care measures.The patients in the group were given corresponding postural interventions on the basis of the control group, and the recovery of postoperative limb function and the perioperative pulmonary infection were compared between the two groups. RESULTS The total effective rate was 90.76% in the observation group and 82.35% in the control group, the difference was significant (P＜0.05).The lung infection rate in the observation group was 9.24% and the mortality rate was 2.52%, whereas the infection rate was 22.69% and the mortality rate was 4.20% in the control group, the difference was significant (P＜0.05).The postoperative hospital stay was (10.4 ± 3.9) days in the observation group and (15.1 ± 3.7) days in the control group.The number of days after fever was (3.5 ± 1.1) days in the observation group and (6.7 ± 2.3) days in the control group, the difference was significant (P＜0.05). CONCLUSION Taking body position intervention for hip fracture can effectively reduce the rate of perioperative pulmonary infection in patients and improve the quality of life of patients, which is worthy of clinical promotion.
