ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the clinical efficacy and value of interventional treatment of iatrogenic massive vaginal bleed-ing.Methods Retrospective analysis was performed on 35 patients with postoperative vaginal massive hemorrhage in obstetrics and gynecology who were admitted.Abdominal aorta and bilateral internal iliac arteries angiography and embolization of abnormal vessels were performed under digital subtraction angiography(DS A),and relevant clinical data were recorded and analyzed.Results After interventional treatment,the vaginal bleeding of 33 patients basically stopped within 3 days,and the average interventional operation time was(57.5±17.2)min.The hemoglobin value,hematocrit and blood pressure decreased and the heart rate increased significantly before and after interventional embolization in obstetrics and gynecology,with statistical significance(P＜0.05).There were no sig-nificant changes in hemoglobin value and hematocrit between the completion of interventional embolization and 72 hours after interventional embolization(P＞0.05).The increase of blood pressure and the decrease of heart rate were statistically significant(P＜0.05).Two patients with cesarean section had poor hemostatic effect after interventional embolization,and the bleeding stopped after exploratory laparotomy and hysterectomy.Conclusion Interventional treatment has the advantages of small trauma,simple operation,signifi-cant curative effect,few adverse reactions,and rapid recovery.It plays an important role and clinical value in the diagnosis and treat-ment of iatrogenic vaginal bleeding.
ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND:Total knee arthroplasty is the main therapeutic regimen for end-stage osteoarthritis.However,diabetes mellitus can affect the treatment effect and prognosis. OBJECTIVE:To explore the effect of diabetes mellitus on perioperative blood loss and postoperative pain in patients undergoing primary total knee arthroplasty. METHODS:A retrospective study was conducted on 154 patients who underwent primary total knee arthroplasty and met the inclusion criteria in the Osteonecrosis and Joint Reconstruction Ward of Xi'an Honghui Hospital Affiliated to Xi'an Jiaotong University from January to April 2021.Patients were divided into a non-diabetic group and a diabetic group according to their diagnosis,with 32 cases in the diabetic group,9 males and 23 females,aged 55 to 80(66.58±7.16)years and 122 cases in the non-diabetic group,34 males and 88 females,aged 44 to 83(66.69±6.63)years.Perioperative blood loss(including total blood loss,hidden blood loss,the falling value of hemoglobin and hematocrit)was calculated for both groups.Visual analog scale scores,hospital for special surgery knee score,and Caprini scores were recorded preoperatively and postoperatively. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:(1)Total blood loss was significantly lower in the non-diabetic group(729.93±233.83 mL)than that in the diabetic group(853.69±184.91 mL)(P<0.05).Latent hidden blood loss was also significantly lower in the non-diabetic group(624.40±233.19 mL)than that in the diabetic group(749.08±179.49 mL)(P<0.05).(2)In the non-diabetic group,the visual analog scale scores preoperatively and 1 month postoperatively were significantly lower than those in the diabetic group(P<0.05).The differences in visual analog scale scores at 3 days and 3 months postoperatively between the non-diabetic group and the diabetic group were not statistically significant(P>0.05).(3)The hospital for special surgery knee score at 1 month postoperatively was significantly higher in the non-diabetic group than that in the diabetic group(P<0.05).There was no significant difference in hospital for special surgery knee score between the two groups at 3 months postoperatively(P>0.05).(4)There was no statistically significant difference in preoperative and postoperative Caprini scores between the two groups(P>0.05).(5)It is concluded that having diabetes increases total and occult hidden blood loss in primary total knee arthroplasty.In the short term after total knee arthroplasty,diabetes increases the patient's pain and affects the recovery of joint function,but the negative effects fade with time.
ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND:High tibial osteotomy results in massive blood loss during the perioperative period.Tranexamic acid can effectively reduce perioperative blood loss.However,the method of tranexamic acid application has not been unified. OBJECTIVE:To investigate the effect and safety of different methods of tranexamic acid on perioperative blood loss in the high tibial osteotomy. METHODS:A total of 160 patients who underwent primary unilateral high tibial osteotomy in the Binzhou Medical University Hospital from January 2019 to December 2021,including 69 males and 91 females,were randomly divided into four groups(n=40 per group).Among them,40 patients were given an intravenous infusion of saline containing 2 g tranexamic acid 10 minutes before tourniquet release(venous group);40 patients were given an intravenous infusion of 1 g tranexamic acid and 1 g tranexamic acid was injected through a drainage tube after the closure of the incision(combined group);40 patients were given 2 g tranexamic acid infusion into drainage tube after the closure of the incision(perfusion group);an additional 40 patients were given an intravenous infusion of the same amount of normal saline(blank group).The general information was compared among the four groups of patients.The hemoglobin,hematocrit,intraoperative blood loss,drainage volume,blood transfusion rate,incision complication,and the incidence of deep vein thrombosis were recorded on days 1,3 and 5 after operation in the four groups.The total blood loss and hidden blood loss were calculated. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:(1)There was no statistically significant difference in general information among the four groups.(2)No significant difference was found in intraoperative blood loss among the four groups.(3)The maximum decreased values of hemoglobin and hematocrit on days 1,3 and 5 after operation,drainage volume,total blood loss and hidden blood loss were all ranked as the combined group<venous group<perfusion group<blank group.(4)The postoperative blood transfusion rate of the blank group was significantly higher than that of the other three groups,and there was no significant difference in the postoperative blood transfusion rate among the combined group,the venous group and the perfusion group.(5)There was no significant difference in the incidence of venous thrombosis and incision complications among the four groups.(6)It is indicated that the application of tranexamic acid in high tibial osteotomy can reduce perioperative bleeding and postoperative blood transfusion rate,and the effect of intravenous infusion combined with drainage tube perfusion is better,which does not increase the incidence of venous thrombosis and incision complications.
ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND:In recent years,tranexamic acid has been extensively used to mitigate the substantial blood loss associated with total knee arthroplasty.However,the optimal method of topical application has not yet been established. OBJECTIVE:To evaluate the effectiveness and safety of intraoperative topical application of tranexamic acid combined with physical compression dressing in reducing perioperative blood loss in total knee arthroplasty. METHODS:A retrospective analysis was conducted on 90 patients who underwent total knee arthroplasty at the Honghui Hospital in Xi'an from January 2021 to December 2022.Based on the different topical use methods of tranexamic acid during surgery,patients were divided into three groups,with 30 cases in each group.In the compression dressing group,2 g of tranexamic acid was placed in the articular cavity,and after packing the wound with gauze and cotton pads,a bandage was used to compress the wound.In the periarticular injection group,2 g of tranexamic acid was injected into the surrounding tissue of the articular cavity.In the intra-articular injection group,2 g of tranexamic acid was injected into the articular cavity.The blood loss,operation time,coagulation indicators,inflammatory indicators,and postoperative complications of the three groups were statistically analyzed. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:(1)In terms of total blood loss,hidden blood loss,and maximum hemoglobin drop,the periarticular injection group had the least amount,and there was no statistically significant difference between the compression dressing group and periarticular injection group(P>0.05).In terms of intraoperative blood loss,the compression dressing group had the least amount,and there were statistically significant differences compared with the periarticular injection group and intra-articular injection group(P<0.05).There was no statistically significant difference in operation time among the three groups(P>0.05).(2)There were no statistically significant differences in coagulation indicators(D-dimer and fibrinogen degradation products)and inflammation indicators(C-reactive protein and erythrocyte sedimentation rate)among the three groups preoperatively and on the first and third days after operation(P>0.05).(3)There was no statistically significant difference observed among the three groups in terms of slow blood flow in the affected limb,intramuscular venous thrombosis,soft tissue swelling,and incidence of wound complications(P>0.05).Additionally,no cases of deep vein thrombosis or pulmonary embolism were detected in any of the groups.(4)The topical application of tranexamic acid combined with compression dressing achieves the same effect as a periarticular injection in terms of simplicity of operation and reduced perioperative blood loss.This method also avoids the trauma caused by repeated punctures and does not increase the incidence of postoperative complications,making it a worthwhile option for clinical promotion.
ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND:With the increase of the incidence of cervical spondylosis,it is particularly important to control the postoperative bleeding and related inflammatory reaction of cervical vertebra. OBJECTIVE:A prospective study was conducted to investigate the combined effect of intravenous and topical tranexamic acid of different concentrations on postoperative blood loss and inflammatory response during posterior cervical decompressive laminectomy combined with lateral mass screw internal fixation and bone graft fusion. METHODS:From January 2020 to December 2022,150 patients who were scheduled to undergo posterior cervical decompressive laminectomy combined with lateral mass screw internal fixation and bone graft fusion for cervical spondylotic myelopathy in Tianjin People's Hospital were enrolled in the study.Patients were divided into A,B,and C groups(n=50)by randomized double-blind lottery.The patients in the A,B,and C groups were treated with 1%,3%,and 5%intravenous and topical tranexamic acid solution,respectively.Postoperative blood loss and inflammation-related indicators were compared among three groups.The occurrence of venous thromboembolism and hematoma was observed after operation. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:(1)There were significant differences in blood loss-related indexes,such as intraoperative blood loss,overall blood loss,and occult blood loss among the three groups(P<0.01).The above indexes were significantly lower in groups B and C than that in group A.There was no significant difference between groups B and C(P>0.05).(2)On days 1 and 3 after surgery,the levels of inflammatory indicators including serum C-reactive protein and interleukin-6 were increased to varying degrees in the three groups compared to before surgery(P<0.05).As the drug concentration increased,its expression decreased,and there was a significant difference among the three groups(P<0.001).(3)Two cases of intramuscular venous thrombosis appeared in each of the three groups after surgery.No hematoma or pulmonary embolism occurred in all three groups.(4)It is concluded that in posterior cervical decompressive laminectomy combined with lateral mass screw internal fixation and bone graft fusion,intravenous combined with topical application of different concentrations of tranexamic acid is effective in reducing perioperative blood loss and inflammatory response.3%tranexamic acid achieves the same effect without significantly increasing the risk of postoperative venous thromboembolism.
ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND:Intertrochanteric fracture of femur often occurs in the elderly,and there will be a large amount of hidden blood loss after surgery.Reducing hidden blood loss can decrease complications and hospital stay. OBJECTIVE:To evaluate the effect of prolonged use of tranexamic acid on hidden blood loss after proximal femoral nail antirotation implantation in senile intertrochanteric fractures. METHODS:From January 2022 to May 2023,62 elderly admitted patients with intertrochanteric fracture of femur were selected from Zigong Fourth People's Hospital.All of them were treated with proximal femoral nail antirotation implantation after closed reduction on the traction bed.According to the use time of tranexamic acid,they were divided into two groups.In the control group(n=38),1 g tranexamic acid was given intravenically 15-30 minutes before incision,and 1 g was added 3 hours later.Based on the control group,the trial group(n=24)was given 1 g tranexamic acid intravenously once for 12 hours on the first day after surgery.Blood routine examinations were performed before surgery,on the day after surgery,and on the first,third and fifth days after surgery.Hemoglobin and hematocrit were counted.The theoretical total blood loss was calculated by Cross equation,and the incidence of complications in the two groups was recorded. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:(1)Through statistical analysis,there was no significant difference in the amount of dominant blood loss between the two groups(P>0.05).(2)The number of grams of hemoglobin decreased,total blood loss and hidden blood loss in the trial group during perioperative period were lower than those in the control group,and the differences were statistically significant(P<0.05).(3)The hemoglobin values of the trial group on day 3 after surgery,and the hematocrit values on days 1 and 3 after surgery were higher than those of the control group,with statistical significance(P<0.05).(4)The hemoglobin and platelet count showed a downward trend after surgery,and the hemoglobin value was the lowest value on day 3,and the platelet value was the lowest value on day 1 after surgery,and then began to rise in both groups.(5)There was no significant difference in postoperative complications between the two groups(P>0.05).(6)The results show that prolonging use of tranatemic acid can effectively reduce the hidden blood loss in the treatment of femoral intertrochanteric fracture with proximal anti-rotation intramedullary nail,and does not increase the risk of complications.
ABSTRACT
Objective:To investigate the value of digital medical 3D technology versus traditional 2D technology in the diagnosis and treatment of solid abdominal tumors in children. Methods:A total of 80 children with solid abdominal tumors who received surgical treatment guided by digital medical 3D technology at Guigang People's Hospital from January 2018 to January 2022 were included in the observation group. An additional 80 children with solid abdominal tumors who received surgical treatment guided by traditional 2D technology at the same hospital from January 2014 to December 2017 were included in the control group. Clinical efficacy was compared between the two groups.Results:The surgical time, intraoperative blood loss, postoperative exhaust time, postoperative hospital stay in the observation group were (111.8 ± 28.9) minutes, (26.8 ± 25.2) mL, (2.2 ± 1.2) days, (7.5 ± 1.4) days, respectively, which were significantly shorter or less than those in the control group [(193.1 ± 66.0) minutes, (86.2 ± 47.0) mL, (3.7 ± 0.9) days, (12.2 ± 3.5) days, t = 7.00, 6.88, 5.87, 7.53, all P < 0.05]. The complete surgical resection rate in the observation group was significantly higher than that in the control group [92.5% (74/80) vs. 81.3% (65/80), χ2 = 4.44, P < 0.05]. The incidence of complications in the observation group was significantly lower than that in the control group [6.3% (5/80) vs. 16.3% (13/80), χ2 = 4.00, P < 0.05]. Conclusion:The utilization of digital medical 3D technology in the surgical treatment of solid abdominal tumors in children can markedly decrease surgical time, reduce intraoperative blood loss, promote postoperative recovery, achieve a high surgical resection rate, and minimize postoperative complications.
ABSTRACT
Objectives:To assess the efficacy and safety of intravenous use of tranexamic acid(TXA)in re-ducing blood loss during correction surgery for patients with adolescent idiopathic scoliosis(AIS).Methods:The clinical data of 759 AIS patients who underwent posterior corrective fusion surgery at Nanjing Drum Tower Hospital between November 2016 and May 2022 were reviewed retrospectively.There were 544 females and 215 males,with an average age of 14.7±2.1 years.Among the patients,369 patients receiving intra-venous use of TXA during surgery were included in the TXA group,while the other 390 patients receiving the same volume of saline but not TXA were included in the control group.The baseline data(age,gender ratio,Cobb angle,and scoliosis type),pre-and postoperative blood laboratory parameters[hemoglobin(Hb),hematocrit(Hct),platelet count(PLT),prothrombin time(PT),D-dimer,activated partial thromboplastin time(APTT),and fibrinogen(FIB)],blood management indicators(intraoperative blood loss,intraoperative blood trans-fusion,postoperative drainage volume and removal time of drainage tube),and correction-related indicators(pre-and postoperative scoliosis degree,correction rate)and postoperative complications were compared be-tween the two groups.Results:There were no significant differences in baseline data and preoperative blood laboratory parameters between the groups(P>0.05).In TXA group,the intraoperative blood loss(551.7±130.3mL),intraoperative blood transfusion volume(551.3±96.3mL),postoperative drainage volume(468.3±162.5mL),and postoperative drainage time(2.8±0.4d)were all significantly lower than those in the control group(666.7±166.8mL,650.0±138.3mL,550.0±135.1mL,3.1±0.8d,P<0.05).Postoperative D-dimer and PLT in the TXA group were significantly lower than those in the control group(P<0.05),while other blood laboratory parameters showed no significant differences between the two groups(P>0.05).There were no statistically significant differ-ences in scoliosis correction rates,postoperative complication rates between the two groups(P>0.05).Conclusions:The use of TXA in surgery can reduce the perioperative blood loss and transfusion,and improve coagulation status in AIS patients,without increasing the incidence rates of complications.
ABSTRACT
【Objective】 To discuss the effect of adding tranexamic acid(TXA) during surgery on blood loss and security during short segment lumbar spinal stenosis surgery. 【Methods】 One hundred and eight patients with lumbar spinal stenosis who were to undergo lumbar posterior fusion surgery were randomly divided into control group, TXA group and adding TXA group, with 36 patients in each group. In the control group, TXA was not used during surgery.The TXA group received intravenous infusion of 100 mL normal saline mixture containing 1 g of TXA 15 minutes before surgery after anesthesia. In adding TXA group, after the same operation in TXA group, 10 mg/kg(body weight) of TXA was infused 3 hours later. Total perioperative blood loss, dominant blood loss, hidden blood loss, intraoperative blood loss, postoperative drainage volume, and transfusion rate were recorded in the two groups. Hemoglobin (Hb), hematocrit(HCT), prothrombin time international standardized ratio (PT-INR), prothrombin time(PT), activated partial thromboplastin time(APTT), blood platelet count (BPC), D-dimer (D-D), fibringen(FIB), C-reactive protein (CRP), alanine aminotransferase (ALT), blood urea nitrogen (BUN) were measured 3 days before and after the surgery in the three groups. Postoperative adverse events were followed up. 【Results】 The total blood loss(mL) [(968.7±209.6) vs (1 369.8±276.3), (968.7±209.6) vs (1 273.9±250.2)], dominant blood loss(mL) [(590.5±164.3) vs (876.4±235.9), (590.5±164.3) vs (789.3±221.7)], intraoperative blood loss(mL) [(318.7±120.7) vs (457.8±146.6), (318.7±120.7) vs (423.9±162.3)] and postoperative drainage volume(mL) [1 day after surgery: (164.6±25.0) vs (262.3±51.7), (164.6±25.0) vs (219.8±37.1); 3 days after surgery: (107.2±18.6) vs (156.3±37.6), (107.2±18.6) vs (145.3±22.3)] of the adding TXA group were lower than those of the control group and TXA group (P0.05). Compared with the preoperative results, Hb, Hct and BPC in the three groups decreased (P0.05), and all of them were within the normal range. No serious adverse events such as deep vein thrombosis, pulmonary embolism, epilepsy, liver and kidney damage were found in all patients after postoperative follow-up. 【Conclusion】 Intraoperative addition of TXA can effectively reduce the amount of blood lost during short segment lumbar spinal stenosis surgery without increasing the risk of complications such as coagulation disorders, thrombosis, liver and kidney function damage.

ABSTRACT
Abstract Objective The objective of this work is to compare blood loss during primary knee arthroplasty with the use of intravenous and intraarticular (IV + IA) tranexamic acid versus intraarticular (IA) tranexamic acid alone. Methods This is a randomized, double-blind clinical trial. Patients with indication for primary total knee arthroplasty were recruited in a specialized clinic, where they were operated by the same surgeon, always using the same surgical technique. Thirty patients were allocated in the IV + IA tranexamic acid group and 30 patients in the IA tranexamic acid group, according to randomization. Blood loss was compared through hemoglobin, hematocrit, drain volume, and blood loss estimation (Gross and Nadler calculus). Results After collection, data from 40 patients were analyzed, 22 in the IA group and 18 in the IV +IA group. There were 20 losses due to collection error. Between groups IA and IV + IA, there were no significant differences in 24 hours between hemoglobin levels (10.56 vs. 10.65 g/dL; F1.39 = 0.63, p =0.429), erythrocyte (3.63 vs. 3.73 million/mm³; F1.39 = 0.90, p = 0.346); hematocrit (32.14 vs. 32.60%; F1.39 = 1.39, p = 0.240); drainage volume (197.0 vs. 173.6 mL; F1.39 = 3.38 p = 0.069); and estimated blood loss (1,002.5 vs. 980.1; F1.39 =0.09, p = 0.770). The same occurred in comparisons conducted after 48 hours postoperatively. Time was a significant factor for the change of all outcome variables. However, the treatment did not modify the effect of time on these outcomes. No individual presented any thromboembolic event during the work period. Conclusions The use of IV + IA tranexamic acid showed no advantage in reducing blood loss when compared to the use of IA tranexamic acid alone in primary knee arthroplasties. This technique proved to be safe, since no thromboembolic event occurred during the development of the work.
Resumo Objetivo O objetivo desse trabalho é comparar a perda sanguínea durante a artroplastia primária de joelho, com a utilização do ácido tranexâmico endovenoso e intra-articular (EV + IA) versus intra-articular (IA) isolado. Métodos Trata-se de um ensaio clínico randomizado, duplo cego. Pacientes com indicação de artroplastia total primária de joelho foram captados em clínica especializada, onde foram operados pelo mesmo cirurgião, utilizando sempre a mesma técnica cirúrgica. Trinta pacientes foram alocados no grupo ácido tranexâmico EV + IA e 30 pacientes, no grupo IA, conforme randomização. Foi comparada a perda sanguínea através dos níveis de hemoglobina, hematócrito, volume do dreno e estimativa da perda sanguínea (EBL) (cálculo de Gross e Nadler). Resultados Após a coleta, foram analisados os dados de 40 pacientes, sendo 22 do grupo IA isolado e 18 do grupo EV + IA. Ocorreram 20 perdas por erro de coleta. Entre os grupos IA e EV + IA, não ocorreram diferenças significativas em 24 horas entre os níveis de hemoglobina (10,56 vs. 10,65 g/dL; F1,39 =0,63, p = 0,429), eritrócito (3,63 vs. 3,73 milhões/mm3; F1,39 = 0,90, p =0,346), hematócrito (32,14 vs. 32,60%; F1,39 = 1,39; p=0,240), volume de dreno (197,0 vs. 173,6 mL; F1,39 = 3,38; p =0,069) e estimativa de perda sanguínea (EBL) (1.002,5 vs. 980,1; F1,39 = 0,09; p =0,770). O mesmo ocorreu nas comparações realizadas 48 horas pós-operatório. O tempo foi fator significativo para a mudança de todas as variáveis de desfecho. Porém, o tratamento não modificou o efeito do tempo nesses desfechos. Nenhum indivíduo apresentou qualquer evento tromboembólico durante o período do trabalho. Conclusões O uso do ácido tranexâmico EV + IA não demonstrou vantagem em redução de perda sanguínea quando comparado ao uso de ácido tranexâmico IA isolado nas artroplastias primárias de joelho. Esta técnica demonstrou-se segura, visto que nenhum evento trombo-embólico ocorreu durante o desenvolvimento do trabalho.

Objective:To explore the application effects of a new self-designed device for measuring postpartum blood loss in women with postpartum hemorrhage after vaginal delivery, so as to provide a basis for early identification and treatment of postpartum hemorrhage.Methods:The research was a quasi-experiment study. A total of 12 824 women who delivered vaginally in Women's Hospital of Nanjing Medical University from July 2021 to June 2022 were conveniently selected. Among them, the pregnant women enrolled from January to June 2022 were selected as the experimental group, and the pregnant women enrolled from July to December 2021 were included in the control group, with 6 412 cases in each group. The self-designed new postpartum blood loss measuring device was used to evaluate the blood loss in the experimental group, while the traditional blood collecting basin was taken in the control group.The differences between the two groups in the assessment error of 24 hours postpartum blood loss, postpartum blood loss at 2 hours and 24 hours, postpartum hemorrhage rate, severe postpartum hemorrhage rate and midwives′ satisfaction with the assessment of blood loss were compared.Results:The assessment error of 24 hours postpartum blood loss in the experimental group was 180.00 (80.00, 300.00) ml, which was lower than 192.00 (80.00, 310.00) ml in the control group, and the difference was statistically significant ( Z = - 2.04, P<0.05). The postpartum blood loss at 2 hours and 24 hours in the experimental group was 312.00 (290.00, 330.00) ml and 415.00 (385.00, 440.00) ml, respectively, which was higher than 310.00 (280.00, 330.00) ml and 407.00 (380.00, 435.00) ml in the control group, and the differences were statistically significant ( Z = - 9.86, - 5.42, both P<0.001). The rates of postpartum hemorrhage and severe postpartum hemorrhage in the experimental group were 6.50% (417/6 412) and 2.21% (142/6 412), respectively, higher than 4.71% (302/6 412) and 1.59% (102/6 412) in the control group, and the differences were statistically significant ( χ2 = 19.49, 6.69, both P<0.05). Midwives′ satisfaction score with the assessment of blood loss in the experimental group was (18.17 ± 1.02) points, higher than that in the control group (17.78 ± 1.17) points, and the difference was statistically significant ( t = 2.33, P<0.05). Conclusions:The use of a new device for measuring postpartum bleeding during vaginal delivery can reduce errors in evaluating postpartum blood loss within 24 hours, improve the detection rate of postpartum hemorrhage and severe postpartum hemorrhage, and midwives are satisfied with it.

The clinical data of 90 patients who underwent posterior lumbar interbody fusion for lumbar spinal stenosis or spondylolisthesis at Affiliated Hospital of Jining Medical University between September 2019 and September 2021 were analyzed. These patients were divided into two groups: group A ( n = 46) and group B ( n = 44) based on their medication. Patients in group A received an intravenous infusion of 0.5 g tranexamic acid and 100 mL of 5% glucose injection 15 minutes before the surgical incision. The incision wound was soaked externally with 1 g of tranexamic acid solution for 5 minutes before the surgical incision was closed, and it was suctioned before its closure. Patients in group B received the same procedure, except that oral rivaroxaban was administered 10 mg, once daily, after surgery till 35 days after surgery. The operative time, intraoperative blood loss, and the amount of drainage were recorded. Total blood loss, occult blood loss, incidence of lower extremity deep vein thrombosis, incidence of pulmonary embolism and epidural hematoma, and C-reactive protein levels were determined. Results:There were no significant differences in operative time, intraoperative blood loss, the amount of drainage, total blood loss, and occult blood loss between the two groups (all P > 0.05). Postoperative C-reactive protein levels in group A [29.94 (15.75, 50.25) mg/L] were significantly higher than those in group B [7.89 (4.94, 11.10) mg/L, Z = -5.68; P < 0.05]. Lower extremity deep vein thrombosis, pulmonary embolism, or epidural hematoma did not occur in either group. In group A, one patient was infused with 200 mL of leucodepleted red blood cell suspension, while the other patient received 150 mL of autologous blood transfusion. In group B, two patients were infused with 525 mL and 200 mL of leucodepleted red blood cell suspensions, respectively, while the rest did not require blood transfusion. Conclusion:The combined use of tranexamic acid and rivaroxaban after posterior lumbar interbody fusion does not increase perioperative bleeding, and it has additional anti-inflammatory effects without increasing the incidence of lower extremity deep vein thrombosis and pulmonary embolism, as well as the formation of epidural hematomas and the need for blood transfusion.
ABSTRACT
Objective:To investigate the perioperative total blood loss of robot-assisted total knee arthroplasty (TKA).Methods:A total of 60 patients with knee osteoarthritis who underwent initial unilateral TKA in Peking Union Medical College Hospital from February to June 2022 were retrospectively analyzed. According to whether they received robot-assisted surgery, they were divided into robot-assisted group and traditional surgery group. In the robot-assisted group, there were 32 patients, including 6 males and 26 females, aged 70.22±5.88 years (range, 57 to 79 years). Left side 14 cases, right side 18 cases; grade of Kellgren-Lawrence: 1 case of grade Ⅱ, 14 cases of grade Ⅲ, 17 cases of grade Ⅳ. In the traditional surgery group, there were 28 patients, including 5 males and 23 females, aged 68.61±6.79 years (range, 57 to 87 years). Left side 16 cases, right side 12 cases; grade of Kellgren-Lawrence: 2 cases of grade Ⅱ, 12 cases of grade Ⅲ, 14 cases of grade Ⅳ. There was no significant difference in baseline data between the two groups ( P>0.05). Postoperative hemoglobin, hematocrit, and their decreased values were recorded in the two groups, and perioperative range of motion (ROM) of knee and Hospital for Special Surgery (HSS) scores were compared between the two groups. Results:All patients successfully completed the surgery and were followed up, with a follow-up time of 9.93±0.83 months (range, 8-11 months) in the robotic-assisted group and 9.59±0.97 months (range, 8-11 months) in the traditional surgery group. The application time of tourniquet in the robot-assisted group was 96.19±10.21 min, which was higher than that in the traditional surgery group (62.68±16.54 min), and the difference was statistically significant ( t=9.57, P<0.001). The total perioperative blood loss in the robot-assisted group was 534.59(411.85, 859.26) ml, which was higher than 411.32(313.42, 613.52) ml in the traditional surgery group, and the difference was statistically significant ( Z=-2.37, P=0.018). There were no significant differences in hemoglobin or hematocrit between the two groups at day 1 and 3 after surgery ( P>0.05). The hemoglobin decrease value in the robotic-assisted group was 19.63±9.73 g/L, which was greater than 14.71±5.84 g/L in the traditional surgery group, and the difference was statistically significant ( t=2.40, P=0.020). The decrease value of hematocrit in the robot-assisted group was 5.77%±3.14%, which was greater than 4.09%±1.57% in the traditional operation group ( t=2.56, P=0.013). At the last follow-up, knee ROM of the two groups were 123.03°±5.91° and 125.82°±6.59°, respectively, which were higher than the preoperative values of 95.69°±11.64° and 90.29°±23.08°. Postoperative HSS scores were 89.50±4.19 points and 90.70±4.34 points, which were higher than 62.58±10.52 points and 61.09±12.66 points before operation, the differences were statistically significant ( P<0.05), and there was no significant difference between groups ( P>0.05). There were 6 cases of postoperative deep vein thrombosis of the lower extremities in the robot-assisted group and 2 cases in the traditional surgery group, and the difference was not statistically significant (χ 2=0.88, P=0.348). Conclusion:Compared with traditional TKA, robotic-assisted TKA increased perioperative blood loss, and there was no difference in postoperative knee function between the two groups.
ABSTRACT
Objective:To handle blood loss during liposuction for secondary lymphedema of lower extremities in patients with secondary lymphedema.Methods:The clinical data of 214 patients with secondary lymphedema of the lower extremities undergoing liposuction at Department of Lymphatic Surgery, Capital Medical University Affliated Beijing Shijitan Hospital from Sep 2018 to Jan 2020 were retrospectively analyzed.Results:There were 209 females and 5 males. The average fat aspiration was (2 934.58±1 114.83) ml, the average blood loss was (986.04±425.16) ml, 117 patients were transfused, including autologous transfusion in 90 patients, 15 patients received allogeneic blood, and 12 patients received autologous plus allogeneic blood. The disease phase, operative time and fat aspiration were positively correlated with blood loss, and were independent risk factors affecting blood loss.Conclusion:Liposuction for secondary lymphedema of the lower extremity is an important factor leading to anemia.
ABSTRACT
Objective:To study the risk factors of adverse pregnancy outcomes for the diagnosis and treatment of pregnancy after cesarean section complicated with placenta previa.Methods:A national multicenter retrospective study was conducted to select a total of 747 pregnant women with the third trimester singleton pregnancy after cesarean section complicated with placenta previa from 12 tertiary hospitals in January 1st to December 31st, 2018. The risk factors of severe adverse outcomes [hysterectomy, intraoperative blood loss ≥1 000 ml, intraoperative diagnosis of placenta accreta spectrum disorders (PAS)] in pregnant women with second pregnancy complicated with placenta previa after cesarean section were investigated by logistic regression analysis. The roles of prenatal ultrasonography and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in the prediction of PAS and severe adverse outcomes were observed. According to whether vascular intervention was performed (uterine artery embolization or abdominal aortic balloon occlusion), the pregnant women were divided into the blocked group and the unblocked group, and the maternal and infant perinatal outcomes between the two groups were compared.Results:(1) General information: the hysterectomy rate of 747 pregnant women with second pregnancy complicated with placenta previa after cesarean section was 10.4% (78/747), the intraoperative blood loss ≥1 000 ml in 55.8% (417/747), and PAS was confirmed in 47.5% (355/747). The incidence of uterine rupture was 0.8% (6/747). (2) Analysis of risk factors for severe adverse outcomes: based on binary unconditioned logistic regression univariate and multivariate analysis, the risk factors for hysterectomy were the mode of vascular embolization and intraoperative blood loss. The probability of hysterectomy with uterine artery embolization was 5.319 times higher than that with abdominal aortic balloon occlusion (95% CI: 1.346-21.018). The risk factors of intraoperative blood loss ≥1 000 ml were the number of cesarean section delivery, ultrasonography indicated PAS and suspected PAS, intraoperative PAS and complete placenta previa. The risk factors for intraoperative PAS were uterine scar thickness, ultrasonography indicated PAS and suspected PAS, MRI indicated PAS and suspected PAS, and complete placenta previa. (3) The roles of ultrasonography and MRI in predicting PAS: the sensitivity and specificity of ultrasonography in predicting PAS were 47.5% and 88.4%; the kappa value was 0.279 ( P<0.001), with fair agreement. The sensitivity and specificity of MRI to predict PAS were 79.2% and 97.8%, respectively. The kappa value was 0.702 ( P<0.001), indicating a good agreement. The intraoperative blood loss and hysterectomy rate of pregnant women with PAS indicated by ultrasonography and MRI were significantly higher than those with PAS only by ultrasonography or MRI. (4) Influence of vascular occlusion on pregnancy outcome: there were no significant differences in intraoperative blood loss and incidence of intraoperative bleeding ≥1 000 ml between the blocked group and the unblocked group (all P>0.05). There was no significant difference in intraoperative blood loss between the pregnant women with abdominal aortic balloon occlusion, uterine artery embolization and those without occlusion ( P=0.409). The hysterectomy rate of pregnant women with uterine artery embolization was significantly higher than those with abdominal aortic balloon occlusion [39.3% (22/56) vs 10.0% (5/50), P=0.001]. Conclusions:In the third trimester of pregnancy with placenta previa after cesarean section, MRI examination has better consistency in predicting PAS than ultrasonography examination. Ultrasonography examination combined with MRI examination could effectively predict the hysterectomy rate and intraoperative blood loss. Vascular occlusion could not reduce the amount of intraoperative blood loss. The hysterectomy rate of pregnant women with uterine artery embolization is higher than those with abdominal aortic balloon occlusion.
ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE@#To investigate the efficacy and safety of multiple-dose intravenous tranexamic acid (TXA) for reducing blood loss in complex tibial plateau fractures with open reduction internal fixation by a prospective randomized controlled trial.@*METHODS@#A study was conducted on patients with Schatzker type Ⅳ-Ⅵ tibial plateau fractures admitted between August 2020 and December 2022. Among them, 88 patients met the selection criteria and were included in the study. They were randomly allocated into 3 groups, the control group (28 cases), single-dose TXA group (31 cases), and multiple-dose TXA group (29 cases), using a random number table method. There was no significant difference ( P>0.05) in terms of age, gender, body mass index, the Schatzker type and side of fracture, laboratory examinations [hemoglobin (Hb), activated partial thromboplastin time (APTT), prothrombin time (PT), fibrinogen (Fib), international normalized ratio (INR), D-dimer, and interleukin 6 (IL-6)], and preoperative blood volume. The control group received intravenous infusion of 100 mL saline at 15 minutes before operation and 3, 6, and 24 hours after the first administration. The single-dose TXA group received intravenous infusion of 1 g TXA (dissolved in 100 mL saline) at 15 minutes before operation, followed by an equal amount of saline at each time point after the first administration. The multiple-dose TXA group received intravenous infusion of 1 g TXA (dissolved in 100 mL saline) at each time point. The relevant indicators were recorded and compared between groups to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of TXA, including hospital stays, operation time, occurrence of infection; the occurrence of lower extremity deep vein thrombosis, intermuscular vein thrombosis, and pulmonary embolism at 1 week after operation; the lowest postoperative Hb value and Hb reduction rate, the difference (change value) between pre- and post-operative APTT, PT, Fib, and INR; D-dimer and IL-6 at 24 and 72 hours after operation; total blood loss, intraoperative blood loss, hidden blood loss, drainage flow during 48 hours after operation, and postoperative blood transfusion.@*RESULTS@#① TXA efficacy evaluation: the lowest Hb value in the control group was significantly lower than that in the other two groups ( P<0.05), and there was no significant difference between the single- and multiple-dose TXA groups ( P>0.05). The Hb reduction rate, total blood loss, intraoperative blood loss, drainage flow during 48 hours after operation, and hidden blood loss showed a gradual decrease trend in the control group, single-dose TXA group, and multiple-dose TXA group. And differences were significant ( P<0.05) in the Hb reduction rate and drainage flow during 48 hours after operation between groups, and the total blood loss and hidden blood loss between control group and other two groups. ② TXA safety evaluation: no lower extremity deep vein thrombosis or pulmonary embolism occurred in the three groups after operation, but 3, 4, and 2 cases of intermuscular vein thrombosis occurred in the control group, single-dose TXA group, and multiple-dose TXA group, respectively, and the differences in the incidences between groups were not significant ( P>0.05). There was no significant difference in the operation time between groups ( P>0.05). But the length of hospital stay was significantly longer in the control group than in the other groups ( P<0.05); there was no significant difference between the single- and multiple-dose TXA groups ( P>0.05). ③ Effect of TXA on blood coagulation and inflammatory response: the incisions of the 3 groups healed by first intention, and no infections occurred. The differences in the changes of APTT, PT, Fib, and INR between groups were not significant ( P>0.05). The D-dimer and IL-6 in the three groups showed a trend of first increasing and then decreasing over time, and there was a significant difference between different time points in the three groups ( P<0.05). At 24 and 72 hours after operation, there was no significant difference in D-dimer between groups ( P>0.05), while there was a significant difference in IL-6 between groups ( P<0.05).@*CONCLUSION@#Multiple intravenous applications of TXA can reduce perioperative blood loss and shorten hospital stays in patients undergoing open reduction and internal fixation of complex tibial plateau fractures, provide additional fibrinolysis control and ameliorate postoperative inflammatory response.

Abstract Objective This study aimed to identify risk factors for increased perioperative bleeding in scoliosis surgery. Methods This is a prospective cohort study including 30 patients with idiopathic scoliosis undergoing posterior instrumentation using the pedicle screw system at a university hospital. Results Intraoperative blood losses totaled 798.6 ± 340 mL (24.8% of blood volume). Nine subjects presented massive blood loss. On average, hemoglobin dropped by 3.7g/dL, and each patient received 1.4 blood bags. Postoperative blood loss was 693.4±331.1 mL, and the total number of days using a drain was 2.7±0.7. Intraoperatively, the following variables showed significant correlations (p<0.05) with increased bleeding: age, time from diagnosis to treatment, preoperative Cobb angle, amount of curve correction, number of instrumented and fixated levels, total number of screws, and the number of transfused bags. Postoperatively, the following variables had significant correlations (p < 0.05): age, preoperative Cobb angle, length of hospital stay, number of blood bags transfused, and number of levels fixated with screws. Conclusion The variables most contributing to blood loss were age, preoperative Cobb angle, number of blood bags transfused, and number of levels fixated with a screw. Therefore, patients may benefit from surgical treatment while younger and
