The aim of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of multiple doses of tranexamic acid (TXA) in blood loss in patients undergoing total knee arthroplasty (TKA). Seven patients of both genders over 50 years old undergoingTKA, who received 15 mg/kg intravenous (IV) TXA 30 minutes before the surgical incision and another 3 doses thereafter were included in this report. Blood loss analysis included blood loss at the drain, hemoglobin loss, and estimated blood loss. Statistical analysis was performed. There was a significant hemoglobin drop after 48 hours, compared to preoperative. Mean blood loss assessed by drain was 20.0 ± 25.17 mL after 24 h. Estimated blood loss was higher after 48 hours compared to 24 hours. No complications were reported in this sample, and no patient received transfusions. The use of TXA in multiple doses did not prevent the drop in postoperative hemoglobin levels and did not correlate with increased complications. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
