Area of Science:

  • Orthopaedic Surgery
  • Transfusion Medicine
  • Patient Blood Management

Background:

  • Major orthopaedic surgeries often necessitate significant blood transfusions.
  • Minimizing allogeneic blood exposure is crucial for patient safety and outcomes.
  • Existing blood-saving techniques offer incremental benefits, necessitating a combined strategy.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To outline a comprehensive strategy for achieving successful transfusion-free major orthopaedic surgery.
  • To describe integrated preoperative, intraoperative, and postoperative blood management techniques.
  • To provide guidance on best practices for bloodless medical care in orthopaedics.

Main Methods:

  • Preoperative autologous donation
  • Erythropoietic support

  • Acute normovolemic hemodilution
  • Intraoperative autotransfusion
  • Meticulous surgical techniques
  • Pharmacologic agents to limit blood loss
  • Individualized anemia tolerance assessment

    • Main Results:

    • Successful major transfusion-free orthopaedic surgery is feasible with meticulous planning and execution.
    • A combination of multiple blood-saving methods is required to achieve significant reductions in blood usage.
    • Careful patient selection and management of anemia are key components.

    Conclusions:

    • Transfusion-free major orthopaedic surgery can be successfully performed.
    • Integrated preoperative, intraoperative, and postoperative blood management is essential.
    • Avoidance of wound drainage transfusion is recommended.
