Hidden blood loss after minimally invasive operation for intertrochanteric fracture in elder patient / 局解手术学杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective To explore the influence factors of hidden blood loss during the treatment of femoral intertrochanteric fractures with percutaneous compression plate( PCCP) in elder patient. Methods The data of 136 patients with intertrochanteric fracture in our hos-pital from March 2009 to March 2012 treated with percutaneous compression plate were retrospectively analyzed,the effect of age,fracture type,preoperative aspirin,internal diseases on perioperative hidden blood loss, and different haemoglobin ( HGB) levels in patients with dif-ferent distribution were analyzed. Results The mean hidden blood loss volume was 499 mL,which accounted for 92. 54% of the total blood loss. The mean HGB decline was 11 g/L. The rate of on admisson haemoglobin level lower than 80 g/L was 6. 62% in AO type A2. 3 and A3 groups,and the rate of postoperative haemoglobin level lower than 80 g/L was 14. 70%. The average hidden blood loss for AO type A2. 3 (862 mL) and A3 (698 mL) were higher than those for AO types A1 (430 mL),A2. 1 (450 mL) and A2. 2 (415 mL) (P<0. 05). Multi-variate linear regression analysis showed that comminuted fracture and preoperative aspirin treatment were independently associated with in-creased perioperative hidden blood loss. Conclusion It indicated that the overt blood loss was fewer for PCCP operation. Intertrochanteric fracture was the main reason for substantial perioperative hidden blood loss. Types A2. 3 and A3 intertrochanteric fracture were early predic-tive factors of postoperative haemoglobin level lower than 80 g/L in elderly patients.
