Hemostatic effect of single infusion of tranexamic acid with different loading dose before spinal surgery: a comparative study / 中国输血杂志

ABSTRACT

【Objective】 To compare the hemostatic effect and safety of single infusion of tranexamic acid with different loading dose before spinal surgery. 【Methods】 150 patients with scoliosis orthopaedic surgery were randomly divided into group C, group H and group L with 50 cases in each group. Before skin incision, group H and group L received intravenous loading dose TXA of 20 mg/kg and 10 mg/kg, respectively, followed by continuous intravenous pumping of TXA of 10 mg/kg/h until the end of the operation. Group C received intravenous infusion of 0.9% sodium chloride injection at the same time. Intraoperative infusion volume, blood loss, red blood cell transfusion volume, urine volume and postoperative drainage volume were recorded. Prothrombin time (PT), activated partial prothrombin time (APTT), D-dimer (D-D), blood platelet count (BPC), hemoglobin (Hb), hematocrit (HCT), tissue plasminogen activator (t-PA) and plasminogen activator inhibitor -1(PAI-1) were detected before and after surgery. Adverse events such as lower extremity deep vein thrombosis (DVT), pulmonary embolism, acute kidney injury (AKI), epilepsy and myocardial infarction were followed. 【Results】 The amount of blood loss and transfusion in group H and group L was lower than that in group C (P0.05), while there was a significant decrease in PAI-1 in group C (P<0.05). B-ultrasonography of both lower limbs showed no DVT formation on 1d, 7d and 28d after surgery, and no adverse events such as pulmonary embolism, AKI, epilepsy and myocardial infarction were found after 28 d follow-up. 【Conclusion】 The application of high load dose of TXA in spinal surgery produces better hemostasis, and it has no effect on the incidence of near and long term postoperative adverse events.
