Aprotinin decreases blood loss and homologous transfusions in patients undergoing major orthopedic surgery

Abstract

Major orthopedic surgery can be associated with dramatic blood loss, thereby requiring high-volume homologous transfusions in patients unable to benefit from blood salvage techniques. The effect of aprotinin on blood loss and transfusion requirements during orthopedic surgery for either the resection of malignancies of the removal of infected hardware was prospectively studied. Twenty-three patients scheduled for orthopedic surgery of the hip, femur, or pelvis for sepsis or malignant tumors, all under general anesthesia, were randomly allocated to receive during operation, in a blinded manner, either aprotinin administered as a bolus of 1.106 kallikrein inactivation units (KIU) followed by an infusion of 5 x 10(5) KIU/h, or the equivalent volume of saline. The anesthesia and perioperative management, as well as the designated transfusion criteria, were standardized. The total blood loss of each patient was evaluated using intraoperative suction losses, sponge weights, and postoperative volumetric drainage. Homologous transfusion requirements were noted. Hemoglobin and hematocrit measures, as well as coagulation and fibrinolytic pathway explorations, were performed before and after surgery. Deep venous thrombosis prophylaxis was...Continue Reading

Blood Clotting Disorders

Thrombophilia includes conditions with increased tendency for excessive blood clotting. Blood clotting occurs when the body has insufficient amounts of specialized proteins that make blood clot and stop bleeding. Here is the latest research on blood clotting disorders.
