Details and patient eligibility

About

Sixty patients aged between 60 and 75 years old of both sex of ASA physical status I and II were included in this randomized study who were divided into the study group of 30 patients who had been transfused autologous blood and the control group of 30 patients who had been transfused only allogeneic blood. Parenteral iron preparation was given to all patients of the study group after each donation. Intraoperatively all patients of the study group received 2 grams of intravenous tranexamic acid. This study was conducted through the laboratory analysis of the hemoglobin and the hematocrit values during blood donation and for both groups in the pre-operative and the post-operative period and the assessment of the amount of transfused blood units in both groups.

Full description

A total of 60 patients were included in this randomized study that were divided into a study group of 30 patients, who had been transfused autologous blood and a control group of 30 patients who had been transfused only allogeneic blood. Parenteral iron preparation was given to all patients of the study group after each donation. Intraoperatively all patients of the study group received 2 g of intravenous TXA.

This study was conducted through laboratory analysis of hemoglobin and hematocrit values during blood donation and for both groups in the preoperative and the postoperative period and the assessment of the amount of transfused blood units in both groups.
