ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND:
Bipolar hip hemiarthroplasty (BH) was known to require a large amount of transfusion. And, patients who underwent BH were extreme old age and had underlying medical diseases such as hypertension and diabetes mellitus. The aim of this study was to evaluate packed RBC (Red blood cell) transfusion and pre- and intraoperative variables during BH in elderly patients over 75 years in one university hospital.METHODS:
A total of 36 patients who underwent BH from September 2013 to August 2014 in our hospital were evaluated through a retrospective study using computerized medical records and archived documents.RESULTS:
Average age of patients was 81.5+/-5.3 years and packed RBC transfusion was performed in 41.6% of all enrolled patients. There was no significant difference in age, weight, height, and time of operation between transfused patients and non-transfused patients. Intraoperative volume of packed RBC transfusion was 0.6 (minimum value 0, maximum value 4) units.CONCLUSION:
Preparation of blood components such as packed RBC is required in elderly patients over 75 years who were planned BH.
