The use of antifibrinolytic drugs and many other agents have a critical importance in bleeding control.
Background. Total joint replacement surgery is associated with large amounts of blood loss and significant rates of transfusions. Postoperative bleeding is one of the most important problems after major orthopedic surgeries including revision Total Hip Arthroplasty (THA). It has been demonstrate that

Background: Total hip replacement (THR) is one of the commonest operations in orthopaedic practice. Literature review showed that 20–70% of patients who underwent THR needed 1–3 units of blood. Although safer than ever, allogeneic transfusion is still associated with risks for the recipient. There has been unsettled search for ways to reduce such blood loss and transfusion.

Introduction: Knee replacement surgery is associated with minimal intraoperative blood loss, but marked postoperativelloss. Allogenic blood transfusions are associated with known risks. The need to establish programmes of blood conservation in knee replacement surgery becomes evident. We present a retrospective comparative study of 3 blood salvage methods used in TKR: autologous blood donation, cell saver and tranexamico acid. The purpose of this study is to asses the results of

Total joint arthroplasty is one of the most common procedures performed in orthopaedic surgery. Over 600,000 total hip and total knee replacements are performed in the United States each year. At our 550 bed tertiary care facility, 437 total knee arthroplasties were performed in 2010 and 426 in 2011.

Introduction.
Introduction: Today’s aging population has resulted in an increase in the number of major orthopaedic surgical interventions in the elderly. Total knee replacement (TKR) is one of the commonest operations in orthopaedic practice. The fourth annual report of the National Joint Registry showed that there were 60 986 TKR performed in England and Wales in 2006. The true figure is probably much higher. Literature showed that 20–70% of patients who had TKR needed 1–3 units of blood. Although safer than ever, allogeneic transfusion is still associated with risks for the recipient (haemolysis, infection, immunosuppression, transfusion-related acute lung injury and even death).
Total hip arthroplasty (THA) is associated with high intraoperative and postoperative blood loss. Antifibrinolytic drugs have been used to minimize the potential risks of bleeding and blood transfusion. Studies on the effect of
