ABSTRACT
Objective:To explore the factors of perioperative blood loss during total knee arthroplasty (TKA), and to analyze the influence of tranexamic acid on the amount of occult bleeding.Methods:A total of 100 patients who underwent TKA surgery in the knee surgery department of Dingzhou People′s Hospital from August 2018 to August 2020 were selected as the research subjects. According to whether tranexamic acid was used or not, they were divided into tranexamic acid group (68 cases) and non-tranexamic acid group (32 cases). The influence of the age, presence or absence of comorbidities, tourniquet use time, body mass index (BMI), platelet count (PLT) levels, and tranexamic acid use on TKA perioperative occult blood loss were analyzed.Results:Univariate analysis showed that factors such as age, presence or absence of comorbidities, tourniquet use time, BMI and PLT levels had a significant effect on occult blood loss, and the difference between different groups was statistically significant ( P<0.05), while gender and disease type, operation side, operation time and blood transfusion type had no significant effect on occult blood loss ( P>0.05); The latent blood loss in the tranexamic acid group was significantly lower than that in the non-tranexamic acid group: (662.47 ± 65.82) ml vs. (733.86 ± 59.86) ml, P<0.05. The proportion of allogeneic blood transfusion in the tranexamic acid group was significantly lower than that in the non-tranexamic acid group: 45.49%(31/68) vs. 68.75% (22/32), P<0.05. Postoperative drainage volume and perioperative total blood loss in the tranexamic acid group were significantly lower than those in the non-tranexamic acid group: (211.54 ± 85.63) ml vs. (427.61 ± 103.08) ml, (995.38 ± 187.11) ml vs. (1 276.42 ± 236.84) ml, P<0.05. Multivariate analysis showed that age, comorbidities, and tourniquet use time, and BMI were independent risk factors affecting the increase of perioperative occult blood loss ( P<0.05), and tranexamic acid was a protective factor ( P<0.05). Conclusions:Old age, comorbidities, excessive use time of tourniquets, and obesity can all cause the increase of perioperative occult blood loss during TKA. The use of tranexamic acid can effectively reduce the occult blood loss.
ABSTRACT
El sangrado digestivo oscuro constituye un reto diagnóstico y terapéutico para el gastroenterólogo debido a la complejidad de su manejo y asociación con elevada morbi-mortalidad. El advenimiento de nuevas herramientas diagnósticas tales como la cápsula endoscópica, enteroscopia asistida por balones y enterografía (TAC, RM), cambiaron de forma definitiva la comprensión y abordaje de esta situación clínica, generando con ello nuevas estrategias diagnósticas y terapéuticas que en la actualidad resultan costo efectivas. Se realizó una revisión bibliográfica en la base de datos Medline (Pubmed) (1995-2013) de los artículos originales publicados en el idioma inglés, tomando en consideración las palabras claves, "sangrado digestivo oscuro", "hemorragia digestiva", "sangrado digestivo oculto", "cápsula endoscópica", "enteroscopia". El objetivo de este artículo consiste en hacer una revisión del abordaje diagnóstico del sangrado digestivo oscuro
Obscure gastrointestinal bleeding is a diagnostic and therapeutic challenge for the gastroenterologist due to the complexity of it´s management and it´s association with high morbidity and mortality. The advent of new diagnostic tools such as capsule endoscopy, balloon assisted enteroscopy and enterography (CT,MR) permanently changed the understanding and approach to this clinical situation, thereby generating new diagnostic and therapeutic strategies that are currently cost effective. We conducted a literature review in Medline (PubMed) (1995 to 2013) of the original articles published in the English language, taking into consideration the key words, "obscure gastrointestinal bleeding," "gastrointestinal bleeding", "occult gastrointestinal bleeding", "capsule endoscopy", "balloon assisted by enteroscopy". The aim of this paper is to give an overview of the diagnostic approach of obscure gastrointestinal bleeding

El estudio de pacientes con sangrado digestivo de origen oscuro es un reto diagnóstico para el gastroenterólogo. Es necesario adoptar definiciones recientes, para localizar y definir el tipo de sangrado oscuro, lo cual permite clasificar y estudiar mejor a estos individuos. Un 25% de las causas de sangrado digestivo oscuro están al alcance de una endoscopia alta y colonoscopia total, lo cual nos obliga a realizar una buena evaluación clínica y establecer parámetros de calidad en la realización de estos procedimientos. Con la aparición de nuevas técnicas como la cápsula endoscópica y la enteroscopia asistida por balón, el estudio del intestino delgado hoy en día es posible en nuestro medio, con un rendimiento superior a los estudios radiológicos utilizados previamente. Un uso racional y secuencial de estas herramientas diagnósticas, como también una acuciosa revisión de las imágenes de cápsula endoscópica y un adecuado entrenamiento en la realización de enteroscopia asistida por balón, con abordaje bidireccional en casos necesarios, nos ayudará a establecer y tratar la causa en la mayoría de pacientes con esta patología.
For the gastroenterologist, the study of patients with obscure gastrointestinal bleeding is a diagnostic challenge. Using recent definitions as starting point for locating and defining the type of obscure bleeding allows better study and classification of these individuals. Since 25% of the causes of obscure gastrointestinal bleeding are within the reach of upper endoscopy and total colonoscopy, we are compelled to make good clinical evaluations and establish quality parameters for performance of these procedures. With the emergence of new techniques such as capsule endoscopy and balloon enteroscopy, the study of the small intestine with higher performance than previously available through imaging studies is now possible in our environment. Rational sequential use of these diagnostic tools, exhaustive reviews of capsule endoscopy images plus and adequate training in performing balloon enteroscopy including the two-way approach when necessary, will help us to establish and treat the cause in most patients with this condition.

Introducción: los métodos descritos para el estudio del intestino delgado han sido de difícil realización y baja certeza diagnóstica. La cápsula endoscópica (CE) y enteroscopia doble balón (EDB), permiten obtener beneficio para el estudio y tratamiento del paciente con hemorragia digestiva oscura. Objetivo: determinar el rendimiento diagnóstico de la CE y EDB en pacientes con hemorragia digestiva oscura. Métodos y pacientes: se evaluaron 50 pacientes con hemorragia digestiva oscura, en 24 pacientes se realizó CE y en 26 pacientes EDB. Los hallazgos de las lesiones por cápsula endoscópica M2A Given Imaging y enteroscopia doble balón fueron comparados. Resultados: como causa de sangrado se encontraron lesiones en el 56,52% de los pacientes utilizando CE y en 42,30 % de los pacientes con EDB (p= 0,04). Ambos estudios fueron bien tolerados. No se reportó ningún efecto adverso. Biopsias (n: 1), coagulación con argón plasma (n: 7), esclerosis con adrenalina (n: 1) fueron realizados al utilizar EDB. Conclusión: el rendimiento diagnóstico de la CE y EDB fue similar para detectar las lesiones causantes de hemorragia oscura. La ventaja de la EDB es la posibilidad de aplicar procedimientos endoscópicos terapéuticos.
Introduction: The methods described for the study of the small bowel have been of difficult accomplishment and low diagnostic certainty. The Endoscopic Capsule (EC) and Double Balloon Enteroscopy (DBE), can be helpful in the study and treatment of the patient with occult digestive bleeding. Objective: To determine the diagnostic yield of EC and DBE in patients with occult digestive bleeding. Methods and patients: 50 patients with occult digestive bleeding were evaluated, in 24 patients EC was the method of choice and in 26 patients DBE. Findings by means of endoscopic capsule M2A Given Imaging and double balloon enteroscopy were compared. Results: A cause of bleeding was found in 56.52% of patients using EC and in 42, 30% of patients with DBE (p=0,04). Both studies were well tolerated. No adverse effects were reported. Biopsies (n: 1), argon plasma coagulation (n: 7), sclerosis with adrenalin (n: 1) were performed when using DBE. Conclusion: The diagnostic yield of EC and DBE was similar in detecting injuries causing occult bleeding. The advantage of DBE is the possibility of applying therapeutic endoscopic procedures.
