Objective To explore the effect of rehabilitation training focusing on early exercise on the time of first getting out of bed after surgery, pain during early activities, postoperative infection rate and the length of hospital stay for renal transplant recipients.Methods The clinical data of patients undergoing allogeneic renal transplantation in West China Hospital of Sichuan University from June to August 2020 were analyzed retrospectively. According to the time of multidisciplinary postoperative management and the time of early rehabilitation intervention, the patients were divided into the conventional group (from June 2020 to the beginning of multidisciplinary postoperative management) and the rehabilitation group (after multidisciplinary postoperative management). The time to get out of bed for the first time after surgery, the Visual Analogue Score (VAS) during weight monitoring on the second day post operation, the number of days required to complete an independent walk of 100 meters, postoperative complications, the incidence of postoperative infection and the length of hospital stay were compared between the two groups.Results A total of 79 patients were included. There were 46 cases in the conventional group and 33 cases in the rehabilitation group. Among the included patients, 14 patients had postoperative infection, 1 patients in the conventional group developed thrombosis, no catheter shedding or bleeding after exercise occurred. The differences between the rehabilitation group and the conventional group in the time to get out of bed for the first time after surgery [(1.1±0.2) vs. (2.2±0.4) d; t=13.224, P<0.001], the VAS during weight monitoring on the day post operation (2.5±0.9 vs. 3.4±1.4; t=3.267, P<0.001), the number of days required to complete an independent walk of 100 meters [(2.2±0.4) vs. (4.0±0.8) d; t=11.312, P<0.001], and the incidence of postoperative infection (6.1% vs. 26.1%; χ2=5.285, P=0.022) were statistically significant. There was no significant difference in the length of stay between the rehabilitation group and the conventional group [(19.8±5.8) vs. (20.7±7.4) d; t=0.584, P=0.561].Conclusion Early postoperative rehabilitation training reduces the time required for renal transplant recipients to get out of bed for the first time post operation and to walk 100 meters independently, reduce the pain response during early activities, and reduce the incidence of postoperative infection.
