background:proximal femoral shaft fractures are commonly associated with marked blood loss which can lead topostoperative acute anemia and some other complications.tranexamic acid (ta) is an antifibrinolytic medication that reduces intra-and postoperative blood loss and transfusionrequirements during some elective surgeries (1-3).the aim of this study is to evaluate the effect of intravenous tr...

PURPOSE To evaluate the effectiveness of intraarticular tranexamic acid (TXA) in reducing blood loss and the need for blood transfusion during total hip arthroplasty (THA). METHODS Records of 19 men and 31 women aged 46 to 83 (mean, 62) years who underwent primary THA with intra-articular administration of TXA were reviewed. They were compared with a matched cohort of 17 men and 33 women aged...

PURPOSE To assess the effects of tranexamic acid (TA) in patients undergoing total hip arthroplasty (THA) for osteoarthritis. METHODS 42 patients underwent primary THA for osteoarthritis by a single surgeon. 10 men and 11 women who did not receive TA were controls, whereas 9 men and 12 women who received TA constituted the treatment group. Both groups were matched for age, gender, body mass i...

background: the differentiation between acute and latent forms of the toxoplasma gondii ( t. gondii ) infection is still considered as a complicated issue. this study was aimed to elucidate the status of infection in the blood donors and the probable importance of blood transfusion in the transmission of the infection through detecting both immunological and genetic markers of acute and latent ...

transfusion may influence postoperative complications and prognosis of patients after pancreatic resection. We evaluated the influence of blood products use on postoperative recurrence and outcome of patients with pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma. Patients and Methods: The study included 82 patients who underwent elective pancreatic resections for pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma without distan...

AIM To investigate the relationship between baseline platelet count, clauss fibrinogen, maximum amplitude (MA) on thromboelastography, and blood loss in orthotopic liver transplantation (OLT). METHODS A retrospective analysis of our OLT Database (2006-2015) was performed. Baseline haematological indices and intraoperative blood transfusion requirements, as a combination of cell salvage return...

BACKGROUND With growing attention to the aortopathy associated with aortic valve diseases, the number of candidates for accompanying ascending aorta and/or root replacement is increasing among the patients who require aortic valve replacement (AVR). However, such procedures have been considered more risky than AVR alone. This study aimed to compare the surgical outcome of isolated AVR and AVR c...

PURPOSE Intraoperative blood loss in scoliosis surgery often requires transfusions. Autogenous blood decreases but does not eliminate risks typically associated with allogenic blood transfusion. Costs associated with transfusions are significant. Tranexamic acid (TXA) has been shown to decrease blood loss in cardiac and joint surgery. Few studies have examined its use in pediatric spine surgery...
