Cell salvage for minimising perioperative allogeneic blood transfusion in adults undergoing elective surgery
CONCLUSIONS: In some types of elective surgery, cell salvage may reduce the need for and volume of allogeneic transfusion, alongside evidence of no difference in adverse events, when compared to no cell salvage. Further research is required to establish why other surgeries show no benefit from CS, through further analysis of the current evidence. More large RCTs in under-reported specialities are needed to expand the evidence base for exploring the impact of CS.PMID:37681564 | DOI:10.1002/14651858.CD001888.pub5

Indications, Efficacy and Complications of Kcentra Use in Reversing Coagulopathy
ConclusionsKcentra was used in several off-label clinical settings, with comparable mortality among the coumadin, rivaroxaban and apixaban groups and no identifiable benefit in the setting of cirrhosis, DIC or antiplatelet medications, but with an increased incidence of deep vein thrombosis and stroke.DisclosuresNo relevant conflicts of interest to declare.

Neurovascular Manifestations of Iron-Deficient Anemia: Narrative Review and Practical Reflections through a Teaching Case
Conclusions: IDA is a common but treatable condition that, independently or synergically, may increase the risk of thrombotic events. The diagnostic and therapeutic approach has not yet been defined, and each case should be individually addressed in a pragmatic clinical road map.PMID:36294407 | DOI:10.3390/jcm11206088

Pre-treatment clinical assessment in head and neck cancer: United Kingdom National Multidisciplinary Guidelines.
Authors: Robson A, Sturman J, Williamson P, Conboy P, Penney S, Wood H Abstract This is the official guideline endorsed by the specialty associations involved in the care of head and neck cancer patients in the UK. This paper provides recommendations on the pre-treatment clinical assessment of patients presenting with head and neck cancer. Recommendations • Comorbidity data should be collected as it is important in the analysis of survival, quality of life and functional outcomes after treatment as well as for comparing results of different treatment regimens and different centres. (R) • Patients with hypertens...

Postoperative thrombotic effects of tranexamic acid in open heart surgery
ConclusionsIn patients receiving tranexamic acid infusion at 50  mg/kg dose, reexploration rates remained at 4.1% even after major cardiac surgeries. No thrombosis, stroke, or seizure were reported. Our findings support that tranexamic acid is a safe drug which has positive effect on reducing perioperative bleeding.

Tranexamic acid for reducing mortality in emergency and urgent surgery.
CONCLUSIONS: There is evidence that tranexamic acid reduces blood transfusion in patients undergoing emergency or urgent surgery. There is a need for a large pragmatic clinical trial to assess the effects of routine use of tranexamic acid on mortality in a heterogeneous group of urgent and emergency surgical patients.

Reduced short-term complications and mortality following Enhanced Recovery primary hip and knee arthroplasty: results from 6,000 consecutive procedures.
Abstract Background and purpose Enhanced Recovery (ER) is a well-established multidisciplinary strategy in lower limb arthroplasty and was introduced in our department in May 2008. This retrospective study reviews short-term outcomes in a consecutive unselected series of 3,000 procedures (the "ER" group), and compares them to a numerically comparable cohort that had been operated on previously using a traditional protocol (the "Trad" group). Methods Prospectively collected data on surgical endpoints (length of stay (LOS), return to theater (RTT), re-admission, and 30- and 90-day mortality) and medical complication...

Efficacy and safety of direct oral anticoagulants for treatment of left ventricular thrombus; a systematic review
CONCLUSION: Based on our review, DOACs are likely to be at least as effective and safer as VKA for stroke prevention and thrombus resolution in patients with LVT.PMID:33970796 | DOI:10.1080/00015385.2021.1901024

Pharmacological interventions for the prevention of bleeding in people undergoing definitive fixation or joint replacement for  hip, pelvic and long bone fractures
CONCLUSIONS: We cannot draw conclusions from the current evidence due to lack of data. Most published studies included in our analyses assessed the use of tranexamic acid (compared to placebo, or using different routes of administration). We identified 27 prospectively registered ongoing RCTs (total target recruitment of 4177 participants by end of 2023). The ongoing trials create six new comparisons: tranexamic acid (tablet + injection) versus placebo; intravenous tranexamic acid versus oral tranexamic acid; topical tranexamic acid versus oral tranexamic acid; different intravenous tranexamic acid dosing regimes; topical ...

Tranexamic acid reduces blood transfusion in surgical patients while its effects on thromboembolic events and mortality are uncertain
Commentary on: Ker K, Edwards P, Perel P, et al.. Effect of tranexamic acid on surgical bleeding: systematic review and cumulative meta-analysis. BMJ 2012;344:e3054. Context Surgical trauma leads to the activation of local fibrinolysis, and surgical bleeding can be significant in certain types of surgery leading to acute anaemia and the need for blood transfusion. Clinical trends have led to reductions in acceptable haemoglobin transfusion thresholds. However, growing evidence from clinical and experimental studies suggests that acute haemodilutional anaemia may reduce tissue oxygen delivery and increase perioperative morb...

The Effects of Lysine Analogs During Pelvic Surgery: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis
The objective of this study was to assess the safety and efficacy of lysine analogs during pelvic surgery. A systematic literature search was performed using Medline, Cochrane Register of Clinical Trials, Embase, and the reference lists of relevant articles. Randomized controlled trials or observational cohort studies comparing a lysine analog to placebo or standard care were included. Outcomes collected were blood transfusion, blood loss, thromboembolic adverse events (myocardial infarction, stroke, deep vein thrombosis, and pulmonary embolism), nonthromboembolic adverse events, and death. There were no language limitatio...
