Objective To explore the application effect of systematic intraoperative nursing cooperation in total knee arthroplasty (TKA) and its impact on the overall incidence of postoperative complications in patients. Methods A prospective cohort study design was adopted, including 128 TKA patients who were randomly divided into an experimental group (systematic intraoperative nursing cooperation) and a control group (routine nursing). The main outcome measure is the total incidence of complications within 30 days after surgery, and the secondary indicators include surgery time, intraoperative blood loss, and hospital stay. Results The total incidence of complications in the experimental group was significantly lower than that in the control group. Specifically, the incidence of infection, deep vein thrombosis, and abnormal position of prostheses were significantly reduced (P<0.05). The experimental group had shorter surgical time, less intraoperative bleeding, and shorter hospital stay. Conclusion Systematic intraoperative nursing cooperation can significantly reduce the risk of postoperative complications in TKA patients, optimize surgical efficiency, and accelerate the rehabilitation process.
