چکیده

One of the primary goals in the perioperative care of orthopaedic patients undergoing surgery is the avoidance of allogeneic transfusion. There are a number of ways to lessen blood loss during surgical intervention including regional hypotensive anesthesia, careful and atraumatic surgical technique, and coagulation of bleeding surfaces. Achieving coagulation is difficult in spinal and arthroplasty procedures because of the large cancellous surfaces that are vascular and are not amenable to ligature or thermal coagulation. All measures of autologous blood salvage should be used including preoperative deposit of autologous blood, hemodilution techniques, intraoperative salvage (when appropriate), and postoperative retrieval and reinfusion. The use of perioperative recombinant erythropoietin is also a useful adjunct to promote stimulation of the bone marrow and increased red cell production. Although many infectious diseases that are transmitted through allogeneic blood transfusions have been lessened by better screening techniques, there is still potential life threatening reactions and viral transmissions that may be avoided by comprehensive blood management in joint arthroplasty.

  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...

Background: Blood loss during and immediately after total knee arthroplasty (TKA) is among the most challenging concerns. It has been demonstrated that Tranexamic acid (TXA) can help to reduce perioperative blood loss. TXA can be used as an oral, topical or intravenous injection. Many studies evaluated the effectiveness of each route of administration but few works on a comparison between them....
