Transfusion reduction techniques in hip arthroplasty
Summary:
The aim of this diploma thesis is to present the techniques used before, during and after the hip arthroplasty surgery to limit transfusions. The introductory part refers to the definition of hip arthroplasty, but also to developments in Orthopedics that affect blood transfusion needs. At the same time, there is extensive reporting on the administration of iron, erythropoietin and tranexamic acid, which contributed significantly to the reduction of blood loss both intraoperatively and postoperatively. In conclusion, we will find that the application of new pharmaceutical protocols such as tranexamic acid, the local anesthetic and vasoconstrictive drug combination infusion, the reduction of the transfusion pathway and the application of smaller and minimally invasive accesses have contributed to the optimization of transfusion-limiting techniques in interventions hip arthroplasty.
