Peculiarities of volemic support in diabetic patients during the lower limb joints’ arthroplasty

Endoprosthesis of joints of the lower, limb Hip and Knee Arthroplasty (HKA) are common surgical interventions that require balanced volemic support and infusion therapy (IT), especially in patients with concomitant diabetes mellitus (DM). The aim: to determine the effectiveness of balanced volemic support in the perioperative period for HKA in patients with diabetes. Materials and methods. A retrospective analysis of the inpatient charts of 50 patients who underwent HKA operations against the background of concomitant DM was performed. All patients were divided into two groups: 1) patients with hip arthroplasty, 2) patients with knee arthroplasty. The course of the perioperative period, the need for infusion support, and the development of complications were analyzed.
