Summary

This study tests whether a structured 5-part nursing care bundle can reduce dangerous blood clots (venous thromboembolism) after total hip replacement surgery. The bundle includes patient education, ankle exercises, early walking, fluid management, and compression stockings. About 110 adults who had hip replacement will receive either this bundle or standard care, and researchers will track clot rates, leg swelling, comfort, and satisfaction for 90 days after surgery.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
a 5-part nursing care bundle including education, ankle exercises, early mobilization, fluid management, and compression stockings
What this could lead to
If effective, this care bundle could become a standard, low-cost way to reduce life-threatening blood clots after hip replacement surgery.
What could go wrong
This is a small, non-randomized study, so results may be less reliable. The bundle requires consistent nursing effort, and its benefits over standard care are not yet proven.
