Abstract
BACKGROUND The hemostatic effect of tranexamic acid (TXA) combined with carbazochrome sodium sulfonate (CSS) in total hip arthroplasty (THA) has not been determined. Therefore we performed a randomized study aiming to evaluate the effects of CSS combined with TXA on perioperative blood loss and inflammatory response of THA. HYPOTHESIS CSS combined with TXA can effectively reduce perioperative blood loss and immune response compared to TXA. MATERIAL AND METHODS This randomized placebo-controlled trial assigned 150 patients undergoing unilateral primary total hip arthroplasty who underwent direct anterior approach surgery to 3 groups: group A received TXA plus topical CSS; group B received TXA only; and group C received placebo. The main outcome was total blood loss. Secondary outcomes included reduction in hemoglobin concentration, coagulation parameters, inflammatory marker levels, perioperative visual analog scale (VAS) pain score, transfusion rates, postoperative hospital stay, and incidence of thromboembolic events. RESULTS Total blood loss in group A (668.84±230.95mL) was lower than in group B (940.96±359.22 mL) and C (1166.52±342.85 mL, p < 0.05). We also found that compared with group B, postoperative hip pain, biomarker level of inflammation, visual analogue score (VAS) pain score in group A were significantly improved. The transfusion rate and unit of group A were significantly lower than group C (8 patients ; 17.5 units), but there was no statistical difference between group A (no transfusion) and group B (2 patients; 4 units). No differences were observed in thromboembolic and other outcomes among the groups. DISCUSSION The combined application of topic CSS and TXA is more effective than TXA alone following THA in regard of reducing total blood loss. In addition, CSS combined with TXA is better than TXA alone in terms of improving postoperative hip pain and reducing the level of inflammatory factors. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE I; randomized controlled study.

Abstract
AIMS: The purpose of this study was to examine the efficacy and safety of carbazochrome sodium sulfonate (CSS) combined with tranexamic acid (TXA) on blood loss and inflammatory responses after primary total hip arthroplasty (THA), and to investigate the influence of different administration methods of CSS on perioperative blood loss during THA. METHODS This study is a randomized controlled trial involving 200 patients undergoing primary unilateral THA. A total of 200 patients treated with intravenous TXA were randomly assigned to group A (combined intravenous and topical CSS), group B (topical CSS), group C (intravenous CSS), or group D (placebo). RESULTS Mean total blood loss (TBL) in groups A (605.0 ml (SD 235.9)), B (790.9 ml (SD 280.7)), and C (844.8 ml (SD 248.1)) were lower than in group D (1,064.9 ml (SD 318.3), p < 0.001). We also found that compared with group D, biomarker level of inflammation, transfusion rate, pain score, and hip range of motion at discharge in groups A, B, and C were significantly improved. There were no differences among the four groups in terms of intraoperative blood loss (IBL), intramuscular venous thrombosis (IMVT), and length of hospital stay (LOS). CONCLUSION The combined application of CSS and TXA is more effective than TXA alone in reducing perioperative blood loss and transfusion rates, inflammatory response, and postoperative hip pain, results in better early hip flexion following THA, and did not increase the associated venous thromboembolism (VTE) events. Intravenous combined with topical injection of CSS was superior to intravenous or topical injection of CSS alone in reducing perioperative blood loss.

Journal of Orthopaedic Surgery and Research. 2017;12((1)):172.
Abstract
BACKGROUND We aimed to compare the effect of tourniquet use or lack of it on recovery following uncomplicated primary total knee arthroplasty (TKA). METHODS In a prospective randomised double-blinded study, 150 patients undergoing primary TKA were assigned to either a tourniquet or non-tourniquet group. At the early phase, 3 and 6 months after surgery, an independent observer assessed the primary outcome measure (i.e. total blood loss) and secondary outcome measures (i.e. wound complications, visual analogue scale pain score and knee range of motion). RESULTS The tourniquet group exhibited reduced intraoperative blood loss (215.7 +/- 113.7 ml vs. 138.6 +/- 93.9 ml, P < 0.001) and shorter operating time (77.2 +/- 14.5 min vs. 82.0 +/- 12.7 min, P = 0.038). However, the non-tourniquet group showed less postoperative blood loss (180.2 +/- 117.0 ml vs. 253.7 +/- 144.2 ml, P = 0.001) and drainage volume (89.2 +/- 66.3 ml vs. 164.5 +/- 97.8 ml, P = 0.004), less thigh pain (all P < 0.001) in the initial 3 weeks, better knee range of motion (ROM) in the initial 3 days (day 1 81.6 +/- 17.1 vs. 75.95 +/- 14.55, P = 0.036; day 3 99.8 +/- 13.7 vs. 93.95 +/- 11.15, P = 0.005) and fewer wound tension vesicles (10.3 vs. 29.2%, P = 0.005). Earlier straight-leg raising (4.6 +/- 3.8 h vs. 6.4 +/- 4.3 h, P = 0.01) and shorter length of stay (6.3 +/- 1.7 days vs. 7.1 +/- 1.9 days, P = 0.001) were found in the non-tourniquet group. Similar total blood loss and blood transfusion rate were observed for both groups. All other parameters revealed no significant differences. CONCLUSIONS Our study suggests that a non-tourniquet TKA would lead to early rehabilitation without increasing side effects.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The purpose of this study was to determine whether there are hematological or clinical differences with the use of postoperative cell salvage after total knee (TKR) and hip replacement (THR). METHODS A systematic literature review based on PubMed, EMBASE, the Cochrane Library Database in any language regarding postoperative cell salvage following TKR or THR was performed. High quality of randomized controlled trials were identified. The data was analyzed using Rev Man 5.2. RESULTS 19 randomized controlled trials (12 in TKR, 4 in THR and 3 in both) about 3482 patients were identified and included in this meta-analysis. Postoperative cell salvage significantly reduced the allogeneic blood transfusion requirement after TKR (RR = 0.46, 95% CI = 0.30 to 0.72) and THR (RR = 0.46, 95%CI = 0.32 to 0.68). It also demonstrated a higher level of postoperative Hemoglobin (MD = 0.26 g/dL, 95%CI = 0.15 to 0.37) with the use of postoperative cell salvage. No significant differences were detected regarding length of hospital stay, the incidence of febrile reaction, wound infection and deep vein thrombosis. CONCLUSION The results strengthen the fact that postoperative cell salvage is effective and safe to reduce the rate of transfusion after TKR and THR. As the relatively poor methodological quality and heterogeneity, further research is needed to confirm its safety and cost-effectiveness.Copyright © 2015 IJS Publishing Group Limited.
