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»
