Use of closed suction drain after primary total knee arthroplasty – an overrated practice
PURPOSE The age-old practice of closed suction drain following orthopedic procedures has been challenged since past few decades. Our aim was to assess the effectiveness of closed suction drain after total knee arthroplasty. MATERIALS AND METHODS One hundred twenty patients (135 knees) with primary Total Knee Arthroplasty were divided into a study group (no drain) and a control group (drain us...
متن کاملThe use of a closed-suction drain in total knee arthroplasty. A prospective, randomised study.
We prospectively randomised 100 patients undergoing cemented total knee replacement to receive either a single deep closed-suction drain or no drain. The total blood loss was significantly greater in those with a drain (568 ml versus 119 ml, p < 0.01; 95% CI 360 to 520) although those without lost more blood into the dressings (55 ml versus 119 ml, p < 0.01; 95% CI -70 to 10). There was no stat...
متن کاملFracture Blisters After Primary Total Knee Arthroplasty.
Fracture blisters are tense vesicles that arise on markedly swollen skin overlying traumatized soft tissue. While this relatively uncommon complication has been well described in the trauma literature, this article reports for the first time a case of fracture blisters after primary total knee arthroplasty. The fracture blisters developed within 36 hours of surgery and were associated with prof...
متن کاملDoes the suction drain diameter matter? Bleeding analysis after total knee replacement comparing different suction drain gauges☆
OBJECTIVES To evaluate bleeding and the estimated blood loss in patients who underwent total knee replacement (TKR) with different closed suction drains (3.2-mm and 4.8-mm gauge). METHODS This was a randomized controlled trial with 22 patients who underwent TKR and were divided into two groups: Group I, with 11 patients in whom the 3.2-mm suction drain was used, and Group II, with 11 patients...
متن کاملEffect of drain pressure in total knee arthroplasty.
PURPOSE To study the effect of drain suction pressure on drainage volume, decrease in haemoglobin level, blood transfusion, and wound complications following total knee arthroplasty. METHODS Primary total knee arthroplasty for degenerative osteoarthritis was performed in 60 (49 female and 11 male) patients. Patients were randomised for high-pressure (600 mm Hg) or low-pressure (350 mm Hg) pos...
