Hemostatic and anti-inflammatory effects of carbazochrome sodium sulfonate in patients undergoing total knee arthroplasty: a randomized controlled trial.

Postoperative recovery after total knee arthroplasty (TKA) is associated with postoperative anemia, allogeneic transfusion, and stress immune responses to surgery. Carbazochrome sodium sulfonate (CSS) reduces bleeding through several mechanisms. We assessed the effect of CSS combined with tranexamic acid (TXA) on postoperative anemia, blood transfusion and inflammatory responses.
