Background

Tranexamic acid (TXA) was reportedly to decrease postoperative blood loss after standard total knee arthroplasty (TKA). However, the blood-conservation effect of TXA in minimally invasive TKA, in particular, receiving a direct oral anticoagulant was unclear. The aim of the study was to investigate the efficacy of combined use of TXA and rivaroxaban on postoperative blood loss in primary minimally invasive TKA.

Methods

In a prospective, randomized, controlled trial, 198 patients were assigned to placebo (98 patients, normal saline injection) and study group (100 patients, 1g TXA intraoperative injection) during primary unilateral minimally invasive TKA. All patients received rivaroxaban 10 mg each day for 14 doses postoperatively. Total blood loss was calculated from the maximum hemoglobin drop after surgery plus amount of transfusion. The transfusion rate and wound complications were recorded in all patients. Deep-vein thrombosis was detected by ascending venography of the leg 15 days postoperatively.

Results

The mean total blood loss was lower in the study group (1020 mL [95% confidence interval, 960-1080 mL]) compared with placebo (1202 mL [95% confidence interval, 1137-1268 mL]) (P < .001). The transfusion rate was lower in the study group compared with placebo (1% vs 8.2%, P = .018). Postoperative wound hematoma and ecchymosis were higher in placebo than the study group (P = .003). There was no symptomatic deep-vein thrombosis or pulmonary embolism in either group.

Conclusion

Systemic administration of TXA can effectively reduce the postoperative blood loss which results in lower rate of transfusion requirement and wound hematoma in minimally invasive TKA patients when rivaroxaban is used for thromboprophylaxis. Rivaroxaban has a high rate of bleeding complications when used alone in TKA patients.  相似文献

Background

Tranexamic acid (TXA) is commonly used in primary total knee arthroplasty (TKA); however, the most appropriate route of administration is still debated. This study was conducted to compare the 2 most commonly used routes of TXA administration, intravenous (IV) and intra-articular (IA).

Methods

This study was conducted as a double-blind, randomized, noninferiority trial and included patients undergoing primary unilateral TKA. Patients were randomized to receive IV or IA TXA and compared for postoperative fall in hemoglobin (Hb) on day 1 (primary outcome) and day 2, and blood transfusion rates, length of stay, and complications.

Results

Of the 183 patients recruited, 168 were included and supplied complete data. The between-group difference in mean Hb fall at day 1 was 0.08 g/dL with the Hb fall higher in the IA group. The 95% confidence interval was ?0.18 to 0.34 which did not reach the noninferiority margin of 0.5 g/dL. No significant difference was seen in the secondary outcomes.

Conclusion

IA TXA is noninferior to IV TXA in terms of fall in Hb on the first postoperative day. Due to the potential for reduced serum levels and easier administration (single dose), this trial supports the use of IA TXA for primary TKA.  相似文献

Background

Tranexamic acid (TXA) has been associated with decreased blood loss and transfusion after total hip arthroplasty (THA) and total knee arthroplasty (TKA). The purpose of this study was to examine both transfusion utilization and the economic impact of a Process Improvement Project implementing TXA for THA and TKA.

Methods

After standardization of TXA administration in THA and TKA patients, retrospective data were compared from 12 consecutive months before (group A, n = 336 procedures) and after (group B, n = 436 procedures) project initiation.

Results

TXA administration increased with project implementation (group A = 3.57%, group B = 86.01%) and was associated with reductions in perioperative hemoglobin decrement (20.2%), patients transfused (45%), and number of units transfused per patient (61.9%). Cost savings were notable per patient ($128) and annually program wide ($55,884) with the primary THA subgroup contributing the most to the savings. No increase in adverse effects was observed.

Conclusion

Standardized administration of TXA is an effective and economically favorable blood-reduction strategy for patients undergoing elective THA or TKA. Although reduction in transfusions with TXA may be greater after TKA, the economic and clinical impact of transfusion reduction is more substantial in THA patients.  相似文献

Background

The blood-conserving effect of intravenous (IV) tranexamic acid (TXA) is well-documented for total hip arthroplasty (THA) and total knee arthroplasty (TKA). However, the risk of thromboembolic (TE) events after routine use of TXA is unclear and the safety profile is debated. This retrospective study investigates patient characteristics, occurrences, and predictors of TE events after routine administration of IV TXA in THA and TKA.

Methods

Three thousand one hundred fifty-nine THA or TKA procedures performed from 2007-2013 at our institution were included. IV TXA, 1 g, was administered preoperatively if not contraindicated. Relevant patient characteristics and comorbidity information were extracted locally from the database. Data on TE events occurring within 90 days postoperatively came from The Danish National Patient Registry. Patient characteristics, comorbidities, and TE events were compared between TXA groups. A logistic regression model was used to evaluate predictors of TE events.

Results

Of 3159 procedures, 2766 (87.6%) received TXA (TXA+ group) preoperatively, whereas 393 (12.4%) did not (TXA? group). Mean age, distributions of gender, American Society of Anesthesiologists score, anesthesia method, duration of surgery, diagnosis, and survival status were all statistically significant different (P values <.05) between TXA groups. The studied comorbidities were all significantly different (TXA+ vs TXA? group; P values ≤.002). We found 31 (1.0%) TE events out of 3159 procedures, with no significant group difference in TE events (TXA+: 27 out of 2766 = 1.0%, TXA?: 4 out of 393 = 1.0%, P value = .55 for any event). For the TXA+ group, 0.5% suffered from deep venous thrombosis, 0.3% from acute myocardial infarction, and 0.2% from a pulmonary embolism. In the TXA+ group, higher age (odds ratio [OR] = 1.06, 95% confidence interval = 1.02-1.11, P = .005) and present cardiovascular disease (OR = 4.78, 95% confidence interval = 1.72-13.28, P = .003) were associated with an increased risk of TE events.

Conclusion

The findings suggest that routine use of IV TXA for TKA and THA as safe with low occurrence of TE events, although a large prospective trial should confirm this.  相似文献

Background

Fibrin sealants are topical agents used to reduce perioperative blood loss; however, their efficacy in total hip arthroplasty (THA) remains uncertain. The purpose of this study was to determine if a fibrin sealant containing aprotinin as an antifibrinolytic agent, TISSEEL (Baxter, Deerfield, IL), reduces postoperative blood loss and transfusion during THA when compared with intravenous (IV) tranexamic acid (TXA) and control groups.

Methods

Three retrospective uniform cohorts of primary THA procedures were identified, from a prospectively maintained database: 1 group who received TISSEEL, 1 group who received 1 g IV TXA, and 1 group who received neither (control). There were 80 patients in each group. Outcome measures included the lowest measured hemoglobin during postoperative hospitalization, greatest decrease in hemoglobin from preoperative to postoperative values, and blood transfusion rates.

Results

The minimum postoperative hemoglobin level was significantly lower for TISSEEL patients compared with that of IV TXA patients (P = .021) and no different when compared with that of control patients (P = .134). Patients receiving fibrin sealant had a greater hemoglobin level decrease compared with that of IV TXA (P = .029) and control (P = .036). Postoperative transfusion rates were no different for the group receiving TISSEEL compared with those of control (P = .375) and were statistically greater when compared with those of IV TXA (P = .002).

Conclusion

TISSEEL fibrin sealant does not reduce postoperative blood loss or transfusions; however, IV TXA reduced postoperative transfusions compared with TISSEEL and control. Therefore, TXA is recommended to reduce perioperative blood loss, while, utilization of a fibrin sealant requires further refinements before being adopted for routine use in THA.  相似文献

Background

Tranexamic acid (TXA) reduces intraoperative blood loss and transfusions in patients undergoing total knee arthroplasty. Although numerous studies demonstrate the efficacy of intravenous and topical TXA in these patients, few demonstrate the effectiveness and appropriate dosing recommendations of oral formulations.

Methods

A retrospective cohort study was performed to evaluate differences in transfusion requirements in patients undergoing primary unilateral total knee arthroplasty with either no TXA (n = 866), a single-dose of oral TXA (n = 157), or both preoperative and postoperative oral TXA (n = 1049). Secondary outcomes included postoperative hemoglobin drop, total units transfused, length of stay, drain output, and cell salvage volume.

Results

Transfusion rates decreased from 15.4% in the no-oral tranexamic acid (OTA) group to 9.6% in the single-dose OTA group (P < .001) and 7% in the 2-dose group (P < .001), with no difference in transfusion rates between the single- and 2-dose groups (P = .390). In addition, postoperative hemoglobin drop was reduced from 4.2 g/dL in the no-OTA group to 3.5 g/dL in the single-dose group (P < .01) and to 3.4 g/dL in the 2-dose group (P < .01), without a difference between the single- and 2-dose groups (P = .233).

Conclusion

OTA reduces transfusions, with greater ease of administration and improved cost-effectiveness relative to other forms of delivery.  相似文献

Background

Topical tranexamic acid (TXA) was introduced to replace the previous targeted preoperative autologous blood donation (PABD) program. This study aims to analyze the efficacy of topical TXA compared with targeted PABD in anemic patients undergoing primary total hip arthroplasty (THA).

Methods

Two thousand two hundred fifty-one patients underwent primary THA between 2009 and 2013 using targeted autologous blood donation for 280 anemic patients (12%; Hb <12.5 g/dL). One thousand nine hundred seventy-one nonanemic patients (88%; ≥12.5 Hb/dL) received no blood management intervention. Starting in 2014, 505 consecutive patients were operated using 3 grams of topical TXA and abandoning PABD. Ninety-one patients (18%) were anemic and 414 (82%) nonanemic.

Results

The utilization of topical TXA in anemic patients resulted in higher hemoglobin levels on the first postoperative day (P = .014), but not on the second postoperative day (P = .198) compared with PABD. There was no difference in allogeneic transfusion rates between both groups: 12% vs 13% (P = .848). In the nonanemic group, TXA significantly increased hemoglobin levels on the first postoperative day (P = .001) as well as on the second postoperative day (P < .001), and resulted in a reduction in allogeneic transfusion rates from 8% to 1%.

Conclusion

The present study suggests that topical TXA is equivalent to PABD in anemic patients and reduces transfusion rates and increases Hb-levels in nonanemic patients.  相似文献

Background

Minimally invasive surgery (MIS) has perceived advantages in the early postoperative stage for total knee arthroplasty (TKA). It is not clear whether the improved radiographic alignment achieved by computer-assisted navigation surgery (CAS) improves midterm clinical outcomes. The aim of this study was to compare patient outcomes of MIS TKA performed with and without CAS after a minimum follow-up of 7 years.

Methods

Between 2007 and 2009, 50 patients underwent CAS and MIS TKA, and 50 patients underwent jig-based MIS TKA in this prospective study. Ninety-six patients were evaluated after a mean follow-up of 7.7 years, and clinical and radiological evaluations were performed.

Results

Midterm results demonstrated that the Knee Society knee score, function score, and range of motion were comparable in the 2 groups. The percentage of patients with the mechanical axis within ±3° of neutral was significantly higher in the CAS group than in the jig-based group (94% vs 79%, respectively; P = .038). No knees had loosening after TKA. However, 1 patient in the CAS group demonstrated late infection 4 years postoperatively.

Conclusion

CAS did not improve midterm outcomes after MIS TKA compared with jig-based surgery, although CAS reduced outliers in coronal alignment.  相似文献

Background

Tranexamic acid (TXA) has been shown to be effective in reducing blood loss, hemoglobin drop, and blood transfusion in primary total hip arthroplasty. Most studies used intravenous form or topical form. This study was to assess the blood-sparing efficacy and safety of oral TXA in total hip arthroplasty.

Methods

Patients with primary total hip arthroplasty from 2012 to 2015 were recruited. Trial group with 1 gm of oral TXA 2 hours preoperatively, and 6 hours and 12 hours postoperatively was compared with the control group without drug. Outcome measures were intraoperative blood loss, drain output, observed total blood loss, actual total blood loss, hidden blood loss, hemoglobin drop, blood transfusion requirement, thromboembolic complications, cerebrovascular or cardiovascular complications, and mortality.

Results

After exclusion, 108 patients were included—54 in trial group and 54 in control group. There was no significant difference in the baseline characteristics. The trial group had significantly higher postoperative hemoglobin (10.3 vs 9.4 g/dL), lower hemoglobin drop (3.0 vs 4.1 g/dL), lower hidden blood loss (149 vs 354 mL), and lower actual total blood loss (847 vs 1096 mL). There was no significant difference in thromboembolic complications or mortality. There was also no periprosthetic infection or drug allergy.

Conclusion

Oral TXA is effective in blood sparing in terms of reduction in hemoglobin drop, hidden blood loss, and actual total blood loss. It is safe and is an alternative to the intravenous or topical form.  相似文献

Background

Many cost drivers of total knee arthroplasty (TKA) have been critically evaluated to meet the heightened quality-associated expectations of performance-based care. However, assessing the efficacy of the different modalities of skin closure has been an underappreciated topic. The present study aims to provide further insight by conducting a meta-analysis and systematic review evaluating the rates of common complications and perioperative quality outcomes associated with different suture and staple skin closure techniques after TKA.

Methods

The present study was conducted in accordance with both the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-analyses Statement and the Cochrane Handbook for meta-analyses and systematic reviews. Primary outcome measures evaluated rates of common complications associated with primary TKA. Secondary outcome measures evaluated wound closure time, direct surgical costs, and cosmetic and knee function outcomes.

Results

Our meta-analysis demonstrated that skin sutures had a higher likelihood of superficial and deep infections, abscess formation, and wound dehiscence. Conversely, staples had a higher tendency for prolonged wound discharge. A systematic review of wound closure times and overall resource utilization demonstrated that wound closure was faster and more cost-effective with skin staples than sutures.

Conclusion

Primary skin incision closure with staples demonstrated lower wound complications, decreased wound closure times, and an overall reduction in resource utilization. Given these outcomes, the use of staples after TKA may have several subtle clinical advantages over sutures.  相似文献

Background

Rotational alignment of the distal femur is important in total knee arthroplasty. The purpose of this study is to use a roentgenographic technique to evaluate the accuracy of mini-incision total knee arthroplasty (MIS TKA) performed based on the transepicondylar line from the kneeling view.

Methods

Totally 32 patients (aged from 64 to 80 years with an average of 70.9 years) with 46 cases of knee osteoarthritis received MIS TKA were registered. Before surgery, the condylar twist angle was measured from the kneeling view. The bone cut for the external rotation was completed, with regard to the condylar twist angle. The control group including 26 patients (aged from 50 to 89 years with an average of 69.7 years) with 42 cases of knee osteoarthritis underwent TKA with built-in cutting jig design 3 degrees of femoral external rotation. This study is a prospective continuous-time duration analysis study. The level of evidence is IIc.

Results

The mean condylar twist angle was 5.1° in the experimental group and 5.4° in the control group. The mean postoperative angle between the clinical epicondylar axis and the posterior condylar line of the femoral component was 0.46°. The same postoperative angle of the built-in external rotation in the control group was 2.7°. The condylar twist angle was significantly more accurate than the built-in design.

Conclusion

Our result substantiates that the kneeling view is practicable and reproducible as the cutting reference for femoral external rotation. The accuracy of the kneeling view shows that the epicondylar axis can be used in smaller wound surgery, such as MIS TKA.

Background

Although multimodal pain management including periarticular multidrug injection can provide excellent pain relief in the early postoperative period after total knee arthroplasty (TKA), rebounding pain remains an important challenge. A randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial was performed to investigate the efficacy of adding intravenous acetaminophen to multimodal pain management for TKA.

Methods

We enrolled 67 patients scheduled for unilateral TKA. Patients were randomly assigned to receive either 1000 mg of intravenous acetaminophen at 6-hour intervals or normal saline at the same intervals. All patients were treated with intraoperative periarticular multidrug injection and intravenous and oral nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs. The primary outcome was the postoperative 100-mm visual analog pain scale at the time of administration of study drugs.

Results

In the intention-to-treat analysis, the pain score was significantly better in the intravenous acetaminophen group than the placebo group at 17:00 one day after TKA (15.3 ± 17.0 mm vs 26.8 ± 19.0 mm; P = .013). There were no significant differences in terms of the rate of complications between groups.

Conclusion

Even in the setting of multimodal pain management including periarticular multidrug injection, intravenous acetaminophen provided better pain relief for patients undergoing unilateral TKA.  相似文献

Background

Postoperative anemia following elective arthroplasty can lead to prolonged hospital stay and delays in rehabilitation and is often poorly tolerated in patients with cardiovascular disease. Tranexamic acid (TXA) has been shown to reduce perioperative blood loss in total knee arthroplasty (TKA). However, questions over its optimal route of administration remain.

Methods

A double-blinded, placebo, multicentered, randomized, controlled trial investigating the efficacy of topical and systemic routes of a single intraoperative dose (1.5 g) of TXA was conducted. Patients undergoing primary, unilateral TKA were screened for eligibility. Eligible patients were consecutively enrolled from 5 New Zealand centers between July 2014 and November 2015. Three prospective groups running in parallel (topical TXA [tTXA], systemic TXA [sTXA], and placebo) were investigated for a primary outcome of estimated perioperative blood loss. An intention-to-treat analysis was used to compare outcomes between the study groups (P value <.05).

Results

One hundred and thirty-four patients across the 5 hospitals were recruited into the study. Estimated blood loss was equivalent in the 2 treatment groups, sTXA (749 mL [95% confidence interval, 637-860]) and tTXA (723 mL [620-826]). Compared to the placebo group (1090 mL [923-1257]), blood loss was significantly lower in both treatment groups (P = .001 and P = .0003, respectively). There were no significant differences in secondary outcomes, including rates of symptomatic deep vein thrombosis and pulmonary embolism (P = .759).

Conclusion

In the setting of elective TKA, a single 1.5-g dose of tTXA given intraoperatively either systemically or topically effectively reduces blood loss without an increase in complications.  相似文献

Background

Postoperative anemia is frequent after revision of total knee arthroplasty (TKA) with reported transfusion rates up to 83%. Despite increased efforts of reducing blood loss and enhancing fast recovery within the fast-track setup, a considerable transfusion rate is still evident. The aim of this study was therefore to evaluate the effect of a bipolar sealer on blood loss and transfusion in revision TKA.

Methods

In this single-center prospective cohort study with retrospective controls, 51 patients were enrolled in a fast-track setup for revision TKA without the use of a tourniquet. Twenty-five prospectively enrolled patients received treatment with both a bipolar sealer and electrocautery, whereas 26 patients had received treatment with a conventional electrocautery only in the retrospective group.

Results

No significant differences were found neither for calculated blood loss, with 1397 (standard deviation, ± 452) mL in the bipolar sealer group vs 1452 (SD, ± 530) mL in the control group (P = .66), nor for blood transfusion rates of 53% and 46% (P = .89), respectively. Four controls were readmitted within 90 days follow-up.

Conclusion

The use of a bipolar sealer in a TKA revision setting without the use of a tourniquet did not reduce blood loss or blood transfusion rates.  相似文献

Background

With increasing number of patients with early osteoarthritis of knee opting for total knee arthroplasty (TKA), there has been increase in patients dissatisfied with surgical outcomes. It is being presumed that offering unicondylar knee arthroplasty (UKA) to them would improve outcomes.

Methods

Primary objective of our study was to look for any difference in patient-reported outcome and function at 2-year follow-up in patients undergoing UKA as compared to TKA. Our study was a randomized study with parallel assignment conducted at a high-volume specialized arthroplasty center. Eighty patients with bilateral isolated medial compartment knee arthritis were randomized into simultaneous 2-team bilateral TKA (n = 40) and UKA (n = 40) group. We finally analyzed 36 patients in each group. Main outcome measure was improvement in Knee Outcome Survey-Activities of Daily Living Scale (KOS-ADLS) and High Activity Arthroplasty Score (HAAS) obtained at 2-year follow-up.

Results

Improvement in KOS-ADLS and HAAS at 2 years was similar (P = .2143 and .2010) in both groups. Performance as assessed with Delaware index was also similar. Length of hospital stay was less in UKA group (6.6 days as against 5.4 days). Complications and readmission rates were more in TKA group (nil in UKA group; 08 in TKA group).

Conclusion

At 2-year follow-up, UKA provides similar improvement in patient-reported outcomes, function, and performance as compared to TKA when performed in patients with early arthritis. However, UKA patients have shorter hospital stay and fewer complications.  相似文献

Background

In this study, we tried to assess if combined method (intravenous [IV] and topical) of tranexamic acid (TXA) administration, which has been shown to be superior in conventional arthroplasty, has similar effect in navigational arthroplasty compared to administration of drug either individually.

Methods

In present randomized control trial, 200 patients were randomly divided in one of the 4 groups using computer-generated tables—control, IV, intraarticular, and combined. We studied evident loss through drain, total loss based on Gross method and hemoglobin balance method, hidden losses, hemoglobin and hematocrit drop, functional scores, and all possible complications related to TXA.

Results

Evident loss in combined group was 535.55 mL, not significantly less than IV (585 mL, P = .15) and intraarticular group (514 mL, P = .74). However, these were significantly less than control group (696 mL, P = .000). Functional scores and recovery rates were, however, comparable in all 4 groups. No patients in any group developed symptomatic deep vein thrombosis.

Conclusion

Tranexamic use decreases blood loss in navigation-assisted arthroplasty, however, less than that observed for conventional arthroplasty in literature. Further, combined group has no added advantage over other methods of drug administration. We believe that additional amount of TXA administered in combined regimen may not be clinically useful. Further TXA group did not have any advantage in terms of functional recovery over control group.  相似文献

Background

The optimal administration route of tranexamic acid (TXA) in total knee arthroplasty (TKA), and the effect of TXA on hidden blood loss and total blood loss are undetermined. The purpose of this study was to compare the effectiveness of intravenous versus intra-articular application of tranexamic acid in patients undergoing knee arthroplasty.

Methods

A total of 150 patients undergoing primary unilateral total knee arthroplasty were randomly distributed to 3 groups (IV, intra-articular, and control group; each 50 patients) and administrated TXA (1 g IV and 50 mL intra-articular saline, 1 g intra-articularly and 50 mL intra-articular saline, and 0 g and 50 mL intra-articular saline, respectively). The amount of total and hidden blood loss (HBL), drainage, transfusion, changes in hemoglobin levels, and complications were recorded.

Results

Intra-articular use of TXA reduced more total blood loss (P = .011) and reduced more total 48 hours drainage volume than IV use of TXA (P < .001). Two patients received transfusion in IV and control group. No deep venous thrombosis or other severe complications had occurred. The HBL volume had no significant difference among the control, IV, and intra-articular groups (708.6 ± 308.2, 651.7 ± 302.9, and 625.2 ± 252.1 mL, respectively; which was 65.6%, 70.8%, and 81.1% of the total loss).

Conclusion

Intra-articular administration of TXA significantly reduced total blood loss and drainage volume to a greater degree than IV injection in total knee arthroplasty without reduction of HBL.  相似文献

Background

Patellar crepitus is a complication most commonly seen in patients implanted with a posterior-stabilized total knee arthroplasty (TKA). Recently, design changes in the patellofemoral geometry and the intercondylar box ratio have been optimized in newer TKA designs. A comparative study was performed to analyze the incidence of patellar crepitus between a historical vs modern TKA design.

Methods

A retrospective review of all patients at our institution that underwent a primary TKA with either a PFC Sigma or Attune posterior-stabilized TKA (DePuy, Inc, Warsaw, IN), with a minimum of 1-year follow-up duration was performed. A total of 1165 participants implanted with the PFC Sigma and 728 with the Attune design were analyzed. Patellar crepitus incidence, functional scores, and range of motion were recorded at each follow-up appointment. Statistical analyses were performed between the 2 groups to determine if there were differences in clinical outcomes.

Results

The incidence of crepitus in participants implanted with the Attune was 0.55% vs 6.26% in the PFC Sigma cohort (P < .001) at 1 year vs. 0.83% vs 9.4%, respectively at 2 years post operatively (P < .001). There were small differences in extension, flexion, and Knee Society Scores between the 2 groups that were not clinically meaningful.

Conclusion

The Attune posterior-stabilized TKA demonstrated substantially less patellofemoral crepitus incidence than the historical control. We hypothesize that these findings are related to femoral component changes including a thinner and narrower anterior flange and a reduced femoral intercondylar box ratio.  相似文献

Background

The efficacy of intravenous (IV) acetaminophen compared with its oral formulation for postoperative analgesia is unknown. We hypothesized that the addition of acetaminophen to a multimodal analgesia regimen would provide improved pain management in patients after total knee arthroplasty (TKA) and that the effect of acetaminophen would be variable based on the route of delivery.

Methods

The study was a single-center, randomized, double-blinded, placebo-controlled clinical trial on the efficacy of IV vs oral acetaminophen in patients undergoing unilateral TKA. One hundred seventy-four subjects were randomized to one of the 3 groups: IV acetaminophen group (IV group, n = 57) received 1 g IV acetaminophen and oral placebo before postanesthesia care unit (PACU) admission; oral acetaminophen group (PO group, n = 58) received 1 g oral acetaminophen and volume-matched IV normal saline; placebo group (Placebo group, n = 59) received oral placebo and volume-matched IV normal saline. Pain scores were obtained every 15 minutes during PACU stay. Average pain scores, maximum pain score, and pain scores before physical therapy were compared among the 3 groups. Secondary outcomes included total opiate consumption, time to PACU discharge, time to rescue analgesia, and time to breakthrough pain.

Results

The average PACU pain score was similar in the IV group (0.56 ± 0.99 [mean ± standard deviation]) compared with the PO group (0.67 ± 1.20; P = .84) and Placebo group (0.58 ± 0.99; P = .71). Total opiate consumption at 6 hours (0.47 mg hydromorphone equivalents ± 0.56 vs 0.54 ± 0.53 vs 0.54 ± 0.61; P = .69) and at 24 hours (1.25 ± 1.30 vs 1.49 ± 1.34 vs 1.36 ± 1.31; P = .46) were also similar between the IV, PO, and Placebo groups. No significant differences were found between all groups for any other outcome.

Conclusion

Neither IV nor oral acetaminophen provides additional analgesia in the immediate postoperative period when administered as an adjunct to multimodal analgesia in patients undergoing TKA in the setting of a spinal anesthetic.  相似文献

Background

Periarticular injection of liposomal bupivacaine has been adopted as part of multimodal pain management after total knee arthroplasty (TKA).

Methods

In this prospective, randomized clinical trial, we enrolled 162 patients undergoing primary TKA in a single institution between January 2014 and May 2015. Eighty-seven patients were randomized to liposomal bupivacaine (experimental group), and 75 patients were randomized to free bupivacaine (control group). All patients received spinal anesthesia and otherwise identical surgical approaches, pain management, and rehabilitation protocols. Outcomes evaluated include the patient-reported visual analog pain scores, narcotic consumption, and narcotic-related side effects (Brief Pain Inventory) within 96 hours after surgery as well as functional outcomes using the Knee Society Score and the Short-Form 12 measured preoperatively and at 4-6 weeks after surgery.

Results

There were no statistically significant differences between the groups in terms of postoperative daily pain scores, narcotic consumption (by-day and overall), or narcotic-related side effects. There were no statistically significant differences between the groups in terms of surgical (P = .76) and medical complications or length of hospital stay (P = .35). There were no statistically significant differences in satisfaction between the groups (P = .56) or between the groups in postoperative Knee Society Score (P = .53) and the Short-Form 12 at 4-6 weeks (P = .82, P = .66).

Conclusion

As part of multimodal pain management protocol, periarticular injection of liposomal bupivacaine compared with bupivacaine HCl did not result in any clinically or statistically significant improvement of the measured outcomes following TKA.  相似文献
