A Case Report of Pulmonary Fat Embolism After Total Hip Replacement in an Elderly Patient
Abstract：Hip fractures are usually caused by falls. With the acceleration of global aging, the incidence of hip fractures in the elderly population has significantly increased [1-2]. Total hip replacement (THR) is effective in treating hip fractures, but elderly patients often face higher risks of postoperative complications, which have a profound impact on patient recovery and quality of life [3-4]. This case report presents the nursing experience of a 85-year-old female patient with femoral neck fracture who developed pulmonary fat embolism after THR.
