We have investigated the effect of using tranexamic
acid (TXA) during peri-acetabular osteotomy (PAO) on peri-operative
blood loss and blood transfusion requirements. In addition we analysed
whether the use of TXA was associated with an increased risk of
venous thromboembolism (VTE) following this procedure. A consecutive series of 96 PAOs, performed by a single surgeon,
were reviewed. A total of 48 patients received TXA and 48 did not.
The TXA group received a continuous infusion of TXA at a rate of
10 mg/kg/h. The primary outcome measure was the requirement for
blood transfusion. Secondary outcomes included total blood loss,
the decrease in the level of haemoglobin in the blood, the length
of hospital stay, and the complications of this treatment. The mean rate of transfusion was significantly lower in the TXA
group (62.5% The use of TXA reduced the blood loss and the rate of transfusion
after PAO significantly, without adverse effects such as an increased
rate of VTE. Cite this article:

Preoperative anaemia and intraoperative blood loss result in ∼90% of individuals being anaemic following hip and knee arthroplasty. Reducing blood loss offers the opportunity to improve outcomes and reduce the risk of transfusion and costs. This review's aim was to determine the effectiveness of drugs for preventing blood loss, and identify optimal dose, route, and timing of administration. Cochrane network meta-analysis of randomised controlled trials was conducted. Inclusion criteria: adults undergoing primary or revision elective hip or knee arthroplasty. Drugs studied:
Transfusion after primary total hip arthroplasty (THA) has become rare, and identification of causative factors allows preventive measures. The aim of this study was to determine patient-specific factors that increase the risk of needing a blood transfusion. All patients who underwent elective THA were analyzed retrospectively in this single-centre study from 2020 to 2021. A total of 2,892 patients were included. Transfusion-related parameters were evaluated. A multiple logistic regression was performed to determine whether age, BMI, American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) grade, sex, or preoperative haemoglobin (Hb) could predict the need for transfusion within the examined patient population.Aims
