Tranexamic acid and fibrin spray equally effective in reducing blood loss following THA .
Este estudio ha sido identificado como potencialmente de alto impacto.
La métrica de alto impacto de OE, impulsada por la IA, estima la influencia que probablemente tendrá un artículo integrando señales tanto de la revista en la que se publica como del contenido científico del propio artículo.
Desarrollado mediante el procesamiento del lenguaje natural más avanzado, el modelo de Alto Impacto de OE predice con mayor precisión el futuro rendimiento de las citas de un estudio que el factor de impacto de la revista por sí solo.
Esto permite reconocer antes las investigaciones clínicamente significativas y ayuda a los lectores a centrarse en los artículos con más probabilidades de configurar la práctica futura.

OE Journal. 2013;1(2):19 Acta Orthop. 2011 Dec;82(6):660-3. Epub 2011 Oct 1766 patients undergoing primary unilateral cemented total hip replacement were randomized to receive treatment with either tranexamic acid, fibrin spray, or to the control group which received neither. The primary objective of this trial was compare total blood loss between these treatments. The results indicated that both tranexamic acid and fibrin spray were more effective in reducing the total blood loss than the control group. Neither of these active treatments were superior to one another.

El Índice de Fragilidad es una herramienta que ayuda en la interpretación de hallazgos significativos, proporcionando una medida de fuerza para un resultado. El Índice de Fragilidad representa el número de eventos consecutivos que es necesario añadir a un resultado dicotómico para que el hallazgo deje de ser significativo. Un número pequeño representa un hallazgo más débil y un número grande un hallazgo más fuerte.
¿Por qué se necesitaba ahora este estudio?
Various methods to achieve blood conservation following arthroplasty procedures of the lower limb have been used. Previous studies have shown that both tranexamic acid and fibrin spray are effective in reducing blood loss following total hip arthoplasties; however, direct comparisons of these two treatment have yet to be assessed.
¿Cuál era la pregunta principal de la investigación?
What is the effectiveness of fibrin spray compared to tranexamic acid on total blood loss, in patients undergoing total hip arthroplasty, measured post-operatively?
- The calculated median total blood loss values are as follows: Control group= 1.20L (95% CI: 0.82-1.4; IQR: 0.50), tranexamic acid group=0.93L (95% CI: 0.69-1.1; IQR: 0.35), and the fibrin spray group=0.82L (95% CI 0.72-1.1; IQR: 0.33).
- There was no significant difference in the total blood loss when comparing the two active treatment groups (p=1.0).
- The tranexamic group had significantly lower blood loss compared to the control group (22% lower, p=0.02).
- The fibrin spray group had a significantly lower blood loss than the control group (32% lower, p=0.02).
¿Qué es lo que más debo recordar?
In patients undergoing total hip arthroplasty, both tranexamic acid and fibrin spray significantly reduced total blood loss in comparison to the control group. There were no differences in blood loss between tranexamic acid and fibrin spray groups.
¿Cómo afectará esto al cuidado de mis pacientes?
The use of either fibrin spray or tranexamic acid appear to be safe and efficacious treatments for blood conservation following total hip arthroplasty and should be considered as future treatment options. Further research is required to determine if these results extend to patients with uncemented total hip arthroplasties or arthroplasties in other joints.
