Simple 5-Step nursing plan could slash deadly clot risk after hip surgery
NCT ID NCT07702903
First seen Jul 14, 2026 · Last updated Jul 15, 2026 · Updated 1 time
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.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.
Inclusion Criteria: * Patients aged 18 years and older. * Scheduled for elective primary total hip replacement surgery. * Conscious, oriented, and able to communicate effectively to complete questionnaires and understand education. * Volunteering to participate in the study and able to provide written informed consent. * Physically capable of participating in early mobilization and bed exercises postoperatively. Exclusion Criteria: * Previous history of Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT) or Pulmonary Embolism (PE). * Known bleeding disorders or coagulation abnormalities (e.g., thrombophilia). * Contraindications to the use of mechanical prophylaxis/compression stockings (e.g., severe peripheral arterial disease, severe skin lesions, or leg ulcers). * Severe cognitive impairment, dementia, or psychiatric disorders that prevent cooperation with the study protocol and care bundle. * Bedridden prior to surgery or having severe neurological/musculoskeletal conditions completely preventing mobilization.
