Key result
Preoperative anemia management and tranexamic acid reduce blood loss and transfusions in total hip replacement.
Why the study?
Many reviews and meta-analyses have sought to demonstrate optimal blood management, prompting a review of evidence-based blood conserving techniques across perioperative stages.
Do multimodel perioperative blood management strategies reduce blood loss and transfusion rates in patients undergoing total hip replacement?
Do multimodel perioperative blood management strategies reduce blood loss and transfusion rates in patients undergoing total hip replacement?
A multidisciplinary patient blood management approach, particularly involving preoperative anemia correction and intraoperative tranexamic acid, safely minimizes the need for allogeneic blood transfusions in total hip arthroplasty.

May support anemia evaluation and tranexamic acid in hip replacement blood conservation; extends review evidence but leaves randomized confirmation open.
Total hip replacement (THR) has proved to be a reliable treatment for the end stage of hip osteoarthritis. It is a common orthopaedic procedure with excellent results, but is associated with significant blood loss and high rates of allogeneic blood transfusion (ABT). The potential complications and adverse events after ABT, combined with the ongoing research, have resulted in multimodel, multidisciplinary blood management strategies adoption, aiming to reduce the blood loss and transfusion rates

A 2020 study conducted a review in End stage hip osteoarthritis requiring total hip replacement. Perioperative blood management strategies (e.g., TXA, anemia evaluation) vs. Standard care / no blood management strategy was evaluated on Blood loss and allogeneic blood transfusion rates. Preoperative evaluation of anemia and administration of tranexamic acid are strongly supported strategies to reduce blood loss and transfusion rates in patients undergoing total hip replacement.
