ObjectiveTo summarize research progress of the effect of knee flexion position on postoperative blood loss and knee range of motion (ROM) after total knee arthroplasty (TKA).MethodsThe relevant literature at home and abroad was reviewed and summarized from mechanism, research status, progress, and clinical outcome. The differences of clinical results caused by different positions, flexion angles, and keeping time were compared.ResultsKeeping knee flexion after TKA can reduce postoperative blood loss through the angle change of blood vessels and increase knee early ROM by improving flexion muscle strength. When the flexion angle of the knee is large and the flexion position is keeping for a long time, the postoperative blood loss and the knee ROM can be significantly improved. However, the amount of blood loss and ROM are not further improved in the patients with keeping knee flexion for more than 24 hours compared with less than 24 hours.ConclusionKeeping knee flexion after TKA is a simple and effective method to reduce postoperative blood loss and improve knee ROM. However, the optimal knee flexion angle and time are needed to be further explored.
ObjectiveTo summarize the perioperative blood management strategies for joint arthroplasty. MethodsThe literature concerning preoperative, intraoperative, and postoperative blood management was reviewed and summarized. ResultsAt present, a variety of blood management and conservation strategies are available. Preoperative strategies include iron supplementation, erythropoietin (EPO), and preoperative autologous donation (PAD). Intraoperative options include acute normovolemic hemodilution (ANH), antifibrinolytics, and the use of a tourniquet. Postoperative strategies include the use of reinfusion systems and guided transfusion protocols. Preoperatively, administration of either simple EPO or a combination of EPO and PAD can be efficacious in anemic patients. Intraoperatively, tourniquet use and tranexamic acid can effectively control bleeding. Postoperatively, appropriate transfusion indications can avoid unnecessary blood transfusions. ConclusionPerioperative blood management strategies for joint arthroplasty should be integrated for the individual patient using a variety of ways to reduce perioperative blood loss and blood transfusion, and promote the rehabilitation of patients.
ObjectiveTo determine the effects of different volume fluid resuscitation on intestinal injury and the permeability of intestine in hemorrhagic shock rats. MethodsSprague-Dawley male rats(n=72) were randomly equally divided into 4 groups after the model establishment of blood pressure-controlled hemorrhage, 45, 30, and 15 mL/(kg·h) of fluid resuscitation were performed in high dosage of resuscitation(HLR), moderate dosage of resuscitation(MLR), and low dosage of resuscitation(LLR) group respectively, but rats of Sham group didn't accept fluid resuscitation. After resuscitation, ten centimeters ileum was harvested for testing intestinal permeability. Then 6 rats of each group were sacrificed at 24, 48, and 72 hours after fluid resuscitation respectively. Over the specified time interval, blood was collected for testing levels of lactic acid and plasma tumor necrosis factor-α(TNF-α). The ileums of 3 resuscitation groups were obtained for testing the ratio of wet weight to dry weight and observing the histological changes. ResultsAfter resuscitation, the intestinal permeability was higher in HLR group(P<0.05). At 3-8 hours after resuscitation, rats of Sham group were all died, and the other rats of 3 groups were all alive. The level of plasma lactic acid was lower in LLR group than those of other 2 groups at 24 hours(P<0.05). The levels of TNF-α were higher in HLR group than those of other 2 groups at 24, 48, and 72 hours(P<0.05), and at 48 hours, level of TNF-α in LLR group was lower than MLR group(P<0.05). At 24 hours after resuscitation, ratio of intestinal wet weight to dry weight in LLR group was the lowest, and HLR group was the highest(P<0.05). According to the histopathology, intestinal injuries of the 3 groups were tend to be remission with the time, and at 48 and 72 hours after resuscitation, intestinal villus of LLR group appeared to be normal. ConclusionLimited fluid resuscitation of 15 mL/(kg·h) could not only decrease the levels of lactic acid and TNF-α, but also moderate the intestinal permeability and the intestinal injury in early stage after shock and surgery.
Objective To investigate effect of different resuscitation liquids and different resuscitation methods on contents of interleukin-8 (IL-8) and tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) in early resuscitation process of rats with traumatic hemorrhagic shock. Methods Sixty-four healthy SD rats (450–550 g) were chosen and divided into 4 groups randomly and averagely: crystal liquid limited resuscitation group, colloidal liquid limited resuscitation group, 7.5% NaCl limited resuscitation group, and colloidal liquid non-limited resuscitation group. There were 16 rats in each group. All the experimental rats were weighed before intraperitoneal injection of pentobarbital sodium anesthesia. Animal model was established via Chaudry’s method. The rats were killed and the abdominal aorta bloods were drew on hour 2, 6, 12, and 24 after recovering from anesthesia. The contents of IL-8 and TNF-α in plasmas were detected by enzyme linked immunosorbent assay. Results The contents of IL-8 and TNF-α among three kinds of limited resuscitation groups on hour 6 after resuscitation were significantly higher than those on hour 2 after resuscitation (P<0.05) and reached the peaks, then began to decrease. On hour 12 after resuscitation, the contents of IL-8 and TNF-α were decreased continuously among three kinds of limited resuscitation groups (P<0.05). The contents of IL-8 and TNF-α in the colloidal liquid non-limited resuscitation group at each point time were significantly higher than those among three kinds of limited resuscitation groups (P<0.05), which in the crystal liquid resuscitation group were significantly lower than those in the other limited liquid resuscitation groups (P<0.05). Conclusions In process of liquid resuscitation of rats with traumatic hemorrhagic shock, limited resuscitation method is better than that of non-limited resuscitation method. Among three kinds of limited resuscitation methods, crystal resuscitation liquid is more effective than the other two resuscitation liquids in prohibiting releases of IL-8 and TNF-α in rats with traumatic hemorrhagic shock.
Objective To determine the total blood loss and hidden blood loss associated with surgery for lumbar spinal stenosis and to identify risk factors for blood loss. Methods From September 2002 to July 2006, the cl inical data from 138 patients with lumbar spinal stenosis undergoing initial operation were analysed prospectively. There were 44 males and 94 females, aging 56-78 years (mean 66.7 years). A simple posterior lumbar spinal decompression was used in 26 cases;posterior spinal canal decompression, interbody distraction Cage, and bone graft between transverse process was used in 54 cases; pedicle screw fixation, posterior decompression and bone graft between transverse process was used in 32 cases; posterior decompression, pedicle screw fixation, interbody Cage, and graft between transverse process was used in 26 cases . Before operation, 23 patients took aspirin, and after operation 15 patients had gastrointestinal bleeding. Intraoperative blood loss was calculated by the aspirator and observed blood loss intraoperation. The whole estimated blood loss was calculated according to the level of hemoglobin, blood volume and blood transfusion at the time of admission and after 3 and 4 days of operation. Results The blood loss intraoperation was (485.51 ± 143.75) mL. The estimated blood loss was (1 218.60 ± 306.86) mL, which was significantly higher than the intraoperational blood loss (P lt; 0.001). There was significant difference between the estimated blood loss and observed blood loss during surgeries (P lt; 0.001). There were significant differences in the estimated blood loss and observed blood loss during surgery between patients treated with aspirin and without aspirin (P lt; 0.001), between patients with gastrointestinal bleeding and whiout gastrointestinal bleeding (P lt; 0.001). Conclusion The total blood loss after surgery for lumbar spinal stenosis is much greater than that of observed intra-operation. The type of surgery, treatment with aspirin and gastrointestinal bleeding or ulceration can all independently increase blood loss.

ObjectiveTo investigate the effect and safety of tranexamic acid sequential rivaroxaban on perioperative blood loss and preventing thrombosis for elderly patients during lumbar interbody fusion (LIF) with a prospective randomized controlled study.MethodsBetween April and October 2019, the elderly patients with lumbar degenerative diseases requiring LIF were included in the study, among which were 80 patients met the selection criteria. According to the antifibrinolysis and anticoagulation protocols, they were randomly divided into a tranexamic acid sequential rivaroxaban group (trial group) and a simple rivaroxaban group (control group) on average. Finally, 69 patients (35 in the trial group and 34 in the control group) were included for comparison. There was no significant difference in general data (P>0.05) such as gender, age, body mass index, disease duration, diseased segment, type of disease, and preoperative hemoglobin between the two groups. The operation time, intraoperative blood loss, drainage within 3 days after operation, perioperative total blood loss, and proportion of blood transfusion patients were compared between the two groups, as well as postoperative venous thrombosis of lower extremities, pulmonary embolism, and bleeding-related complications.ResultsThe operations of the two groups completed successfully, and there was no significant difference in the operation time (P>0.05); the intraoperative blood loss, drainage within 3 days after operation, and perioperative total blood loss in the trial group were significantly lower than those in the control group (P<0.05). The proportion of blood transfusion patients in the trial group was 25.71% (9/35), which was significantly lower than that in the control group [52.94% (18/34)] (χ2=5.368, P=0.021). Postoperative incision bleeding occurred in 4 cases of the trial group and 3 cases of the control group, and there was no significant difference in bleeding-related complications between the two groups (P=1.000). There was 1 case of venous thrombosis of the lower extremities in each group after operation, and there was no significant difference in the incidence between the two groups (P=1.000). Besides, no pulmonary embolism occurred in the two groups.ConclusionPerioperative use of tranexamic acid sequential rivaroxaban in elderly LIF patients can effectively reduce the amount of blood loss and the proportion of blood transfusion patients without increasing the risk of postoperative thrombosis.
ObjectiveTo explore the efficacy and safety of intravenous injection of tranexamic acid (TXA) combined with local use of TXA cocktail in intertrochanteric fracture fixation with proximal femoral nail antirotation (PFNA).MethodsPatients with intertrochanteric fractures who underwent close reduction and internal fixation with PFNA between February 2018 and March 2019 were enrolled in the study. Among them, 45 patients who met the selection criteria were included in the study and randomly allocated into 3 groups (n=15). The patients in group A were not received TXA during perioperative period. The patients were intravenously injected of 1.0 g TXA before operation in group B and combined with local use of TXA cocktail during operation in group C. There was no significant difference in the age, gender, body mass index, fracture classification, disease duration, and complications between groups (P>0.05). The perioperative blood loss and blood transfusion rate, the visual analogue scale (VAS) score before operation and at 12, 24, and 48 hours after operation, the levels of prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) and bradykinin (BK) before operation and at 1 and 3 days after operation, postoperative complications, and the maximum amplitude (MA) of thromboelastogram were recorded and compared between groups.ResultsThe total blood loss, hidden blood loss, and visible blood loss were significantly lower in groups B and C than those in group A (P<0.05), and the total blood loss and hidden blood loss were significantly lower in group C than those in group B (P<0.05). There was no significant difference in the blood transfusion rate, preoperative VAS scores and the levels of PGE2 and BK between groups (P>0.05). The postoperative VAS scores and the levels of PGE2 and BK were significantly lower in group C than in groups A and B (P<0.05). There was no significant difference in pre- and post-operative MA of thromboelastogram between groups (P>0.05). The incidences of postoperative complications were 33.33% (5/15), 20.00% (3/15), and 13.33% (2/15) in groups A, B, and C, respectively, with no significant difference between groups (χ2=1.721, P=0.550).ConclusionFor intertrochanteric fractures, application of intravenous injection of TXA combined with local use of TXA cocktail in PFNA fixation can reduce perioperative blood loss, relieve pain after operation, and do not increase the risk of complications.
