Abstract
BACKGROUND:
Tranexamic acid (TXA) reduces perioperative blood loss in total hip arthroplasty (THA).
METHODS:
In our randomized control trial, 139 patients were enrolled and received 2 g of either topical or intravenous (IV) TXA. Preoperative and postoperative protocols were standardized.
CONCLUSIONS:
IV and topical TXA are effective tools to reduce blood loss and transfusion costs in THA, and we recommend the IV form for ease of use.
Resumen
ANTECEDENTES:
El ácido tranexámico (TXA) reduce la pérdida de sangre perioperatoria en artroplastia total de cadera (THA).
MÉTODOS:
En nuestro ensayo controlado aleatorizado, 139 pacientes se inscribieron y recibieron 2 g de TXA ya sea tópica o por vía intravenosa (IV). Protocolos Preoperatorios y postoperatorios fueron estandarizados.
CONCLUSIONES:
Vía intravenosa IV y TXA tópica son herramientas eficaces para reducir la pérdida de sangre y los costos de transfusión en THA, y recomendamos la forma IV para facilitar su uso.
