  Background: One of the main problems for physicians is measuring bloodloss during surgery. Despite anesthesiologists and surgeons' understanding of the inaccuracy of visual estimation, it remains the foundation for estimating surgical blood-loss. The goal of this research was to estimate the blood-loss of patients having hip surgery. Method: Total 40 patients were enrolled. Total blood-loss was measured by determining intra-operative and post-operative blood-loss and adding them together. Pre-operatively and 24 hours after surgery, blood samples were collected from the patients to assess hemoglobin and hematocrit. The requirement of blood transfusion was noted. Results: The mean intra-operative, post-operative, and total bloodloss was 489.75±123.63ml, 205.43±63.31ml and 695.2±162.44ml.. Read More»
