Background: Tranexamic acid (TXA) is an anti-fibrinolytic effective in reducing blood loss in orthopedic surgery. The appropriate dosing protocol for adult spinal deformity (ASD) surgery is not known. The purpose of this study was to evaluate two TXA protocols [low dose (L): 10 mg/kg bolus, 1 mg/kg/hr infusion; high dose (H): 50 mg/kg, 5 mg/kg/hr] in complex ASD surgery.

Methods: Inclusion criteria were ASD reconstructions with minimum 10 fusion levels or planned 3-column osteotomy (3CO). Standard demographic and surgical data were collected. Intraoperative estimated blood loss (EBL) was calculated by suction canisters minus irrigation plus estimated blood lost in sponges, estimated to the nearest 50 mL. Serious adverse events (SAE) were defined a priori as: venothromboembolic event (VTE), cardiac arrhythmia, myocardial infarction, renal dysfunction, and seizure. All SAE were recorded. Simple t tests compared EBL between groups. Mean EBL by total blood volume (TBV), transfusion volume, complications related to TXA were secondary outcomes.

Results: Sixty-two patients were enrolled and 52 patients completed the study; 25 were randomized to H and 27 to L. Demographic and surgical variables were not different between the two groups. EBL was not different between groups (H: 1596 ± 933 cc, L: 2046 ± 1105 cc, p = 0.12, 95% CI: - 1022 to 122 cc). EBL as a percentage of TBV was lower for the high-dose group (H: 29.5 ± 14.8%, L: 42.5 ± 26.2%, p = 0.03). Intraoperative transfusion volume (H: 961 ± 505 cc, L: 1105 ± 808 cc, p = 0.5) and post-operative transfusion volume (H: 513 ± 305 cc, L: 524 ± 245 cc, p = 0.9) were not different. SAE related to TXA were not different (p = 0.7) and occurred in 2 (8%) H and 3 (11%) L. There was one seizure (H), 2 VTE, and 2 arrhythmias.

Conclusion: No differences in EBL, transfusion volume, nor SAE were observed between H and L dose TXA protocols. High dose was associated with decreased TBV loss (13%). Further prospective study, with pharmacologic analysis, is required to determine appropriate TXA dosage in ASD surgeries.

Level Of Evidence: Therapeutic Level II.

Trial Registration: The study was registered at Clinicaltrials.gov (NCT02053363) February 3, 2014.

Blood Transfus 2022 Jul 25. Epub 2022 Jul 25.

Etablissement Français du Sang, La Plaine St-Denis, France.

Background: The French health authorities are considering expanding the current selective HEV-RNA testing procedure to include all donations in order to further reduce transfusion-transmitted HEV infection. Data obtained from blood donors (BDs) tested for HEV-RNA between 2015 and 2021 were used to assess the most efficient nucleic acid testing (NAT) strategy.

Materials And Methods: Viral loads (VLs) and the plasma volume of blood components, as well as an HEV-RNA dose of 3. Read More

Trauma and Acute Critical Care Center, Medical Hospital, Tokyo Medical and Dental University, Japan.

Tranexamic acid (TXA) reduces the risk of bleeding trauma death without altering the need for blood transfusion. We examined the effects of TXA on coagulation and fibrinolysis dynamics and the volume of transfusion during the early stage of trauma. This subanalysis of a prospective multicenter study of severe trauma included 276 patients divided into propensity score-matched groups with and without TXA administration. Read More

Background: With the increasing evidence provided by recent high-quality studies, the intravenous iron appears to be a reliable therapy for blood administration in geriatric patients with hip fractures. Here, this systematic review and meta-analysis were aimed to assess the effectiveness and safety of intravenous iron in geriatric patients sustaining hip fractures.

Methods: Potential pertinent literatures evaluating the effects of intravenous iron in the geriatric patients undergoing hip fractures were identified from Web of Science, PubMed, Embase, and Scopus. Read More

Background: Goal-directed haemodynamic therapy (GDHT) has been shown to reduce morbidity and mortality in high-risk surgical patients. However, there is little evidence of its efficacy in patients undergoing hip fracture surgery. This study aims to evaluate the effect of GDHT guided by non-invasive haemodynamic monitoring on perioperative complications in patients undergoing hip fracture surgery. Read More
