The OR is traditionally a high-cost/high-revenue environment and operative efficacy has been correlated with low complication rates and surgical success. An efficient OR is one that maximizes utilization while providing safe, reproducible, cost-effective, high-quality care. Total...
متن کاملTranexamic Acid in Total Joint Arthroplasty: Efficacy and Safety
Despite improvements in surgical and anesthetic techniques, total joint arthroplasty (TJA) is still associated with substantial blood loss and postoperative anemia (1). A considerable portion of patients with postoperative anemia require blood transfusion, which has been shown to negatively affect the outcome of TJA and predisposes patients to development of surgical site infection and peripr...
متن کاملMalnutrition and Total Joint Arthroplasty.
Malnutrition is prevalent in patients undergoing elective total joint arthroplasty (TJA). Malnutrition has been shown to be an independent risk factor for multiple postsurgical complications following TJA in addition to increasing postoperative mortality. In the current healthcare environment, it is important to recognize and correct modifiable risk factors preoperatively to minimize perioperat...
