Abstract:
Objective:To evaluate the effectiveness and safety of intravenous infusion of tranexamic acid combined with local infiltration in reducing the perioperative bleeding of prosthetic replacement surgery after massive tumor resection around the knee joint.Methods:Retrospective analysethe patients treated in our hospital from December 2014 to November 2018 underwent tumor resection and prothesis replacement surgery for tumors around the knee, according to whether intravenous infusion of tranexamic acid combined local infiltration of tranexamic acid in the incision was divided into tranexamic acid group and control group. Statistical analysis of postoperative drainage volume, total blood loss, number of blood transfusion, hemoglobin and fibrinogen level in 3 days after surgery, drug-related side effects, wound complications. The differences between the measurement data of the two groups used independent sample t test to compare; the comparison between the count data groups was by χ2 test. Results:In all 116 patients, preoperative intravenous infusion of tranexamic acid combined with intraoperative local infiltration of tranexamic acid in 26 patients, 90 cases in control group; 39 of the replacement required preoperative chemotherapy, There were 8 cases in the tranexamic acid group. In the tranexamic acid group, there were 23 cases (88.46%) in the distal femur and 3 cases (11.54%) in the proximal tibia, and 59 cases (65.56%) in the proximal femur in control group, and 31 cases (34.44%) of the proximal tibia. The length of the osteotomy is similar, the control group is 14.01±3.26 cm, and the tranexamic acid group is 15.21±4.69 cm. The operation time in control group was 2.57 h, and the tranexamic acid group was 2.34 h. Bleeding volume: the bleeding in control group was 613.33±212.76 ml, and the tranexamic acid group was 440.39±208.48 ml ( t=3.636, P=0.002). There were 54 patients (60%) had blood transfusion in control group, and 15 patients (57.69%) in the tranexamic acid group. There was a significant difference between two groups ( χ2=4.771, P=0.029). The total drainage volume was 623.92±316.87 ml in control group, 468.08±220.74 ml in tranexamic acid group ( t=2.328, P=0.022); estimated total blood loss index: 440.47±194.23 ml in control group, tranexamic acid group: 236.75±116.56 ml ( t=5.046, P=0.000); hemoglobin level in 3 d after surgery, control group: 84.29±11.21 g/L, tranexamic acid group: 92.12±13.66 g/L ( t=-2.951, P=0.004), perioperative blood loss: 866.14±418.68 ml in control group, 586.75±409.93 ml in the tranexamic acid group ( t=2.985, P=0.003). There were significant differences between two groups. All patients were rechecked for coagulation function within 3 days after surgery. The PT time of the patients in the tranexamic acid group was 15.01±1.01 s at 3 d, which is 14.88±0.85 s in control group, and the APTT was 41.18±4.61 s in tranexamic acid group, but approximately 40.77±4.63 s in control group, fibrinogen was 3.26±0.66 g/L and 3.31±1.20 g/L in control group, there is no significant difference between two groups. Conclusion:Local infiltration of tranexamic acid intravenous infusion of tranexamic acid during surgery can significantly reduce the perioperative bleeding volume of limb salvage surgery aroundknee joint and reduce allogeneic blood transfusion.
