Non-Pharmacological Interventions for Postoperative Pain After Total Hip and Knee Arthroplasties

Abstract

The purpose of this project is to decrease the incidence of postoperative pain in the total knee and hip arthroplasties population by using non-pharmacological methods. For this project I developed an educational electronic PowerPoint for the staff at OrthoCincy to review and understand the benefits of the non-pharmacological methods that will be offered to patients. The methods included in the voiceover PowerPoint are acupuncture, cryotherapy, electrotherapy, and guided imagery. The staff will have a better understanding of the approaches outlined on a handout available for patients, to answer any questions they may have as well as make any necessary referrals
