Your Health
Early alking
After Operation
Often Desirable
Bv II. y. BuNpEsEN. NJ. D.

JUST how soon after an opera
ton should q patient be allowed to
get up and walk!
OF course, the answer viii de-
pend on the type Of operation and
the way in which the wounds are
sutured or sewed. But, according
TO Doctor James W. Nixon OF
Texas, Investigations have shown
that early walking after many OPP
erations is not only safe but desir-
able. He thinks that wounds should
be sewed with wire, because sew
ing with wire does not irritate
the tissues TO as great an extent
as do other types Of sewing, and
allows more rapid healing OF
wounds, even though the wire IS
not absorbed as are eatgut 81.
lures.
Doctor Nixon has studied al
most a thousand patients on whom
this type of technique was en-
ployed, and has found that it is
possible for these patients to re-
sumo their normal physical activi-
ties much sooner when walking is
permitted early after operations.
Furthermore, there were fewer
cases Of collapse Of the lung, pneu-
monia and other lung complica-
tons, and fewer disturbances OF
the circulation. Allowing the pa
tients to get up to 60 to the bath
room also eliminates some discom-
fort and assists in preventing dis
tension or swelling Of the abdomen
and bowel.
When patients know that they
can return to normal activity ut
an early time they are much more
likely toenter the hospital with n
higher morale. Wound healing is
actually speeded up by the physi-
cal activity since improvement in
the circulation definitely makes
wounds heal up faster.
Another factor is that hospital
expenses are lessened by the
shorter stay and early return to
work. In these times, when such .
great demand is placed on hos
pital facilities and nursing care,
shortening Of the stay in the hos
pital is indeed especially worth
while.
In general, Doctor Nixon al
lowed his patients to be up on the
first day after operation il they
j. 50 desrea However most OF the
patients during this period did not
feel inclined to get out Of bed.
On the second day, they were
allowed 10 sit up in bed or in a
chair IL they wished. On the third
day, the patients were urged to
get out Of bed to go to the bath
room. They were able to leave
the hospital at the end Of the
fourth day after operation in most
instances. BY the tenth or twelfth
day the patients were walking
about In the usual way.
II would appear that the meth
cd used by Doctor Nixon is not
only safe, but also desirable. In
some operations, of course, it can
not be permitted, such as when
there is a drain in the wound, when
the patient has fever, severe ane-
mia or lessening Of the coloring
in the blood, hemorrhsge or peri
tonitis, that is, Inflammation Of
the lining membrane Of the abdo-
men.
However, in those operations in
which no complications exist, this
new method may be carried out.
