ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND:
This is a randomized controlled trial research to assess the hemostatic efficacy of gelatin sponge, collagen sponge, and topical use of tranexamic acid (TXA) on postoperative blood loss in posterior spinal fusion surgeries.METHODS:
We recruited patients with spinal degenerative diseases into the study from November 2013 to October 2016. All the participants were assigned to 3 groups using a simple, equal-probability randomization scheme group A is a control group utilizing gelatin sponge, while groups B and C are experimental groups, applying collagen hemostatic sponge and topical TXA respectively. Postoperative blood loss, rates of transfusion, and hospitalization were compared among the 3 groups.RESULTS:
In our study, the volume of drainage and blood content in drainage on the first postoperative day (POD 1) of patients in the experimental groups were significantly less than those in the control group, as well as rates of transfusion and postoperative hospitalization (P < 0.05). When compared with the control group, the volume of drainage decreased by 22.7% in group B and 56.2% in group C, while the blood content in drainage decreased by 28.8 and 75% respectively.CONCLUSIONS:
In this study, collagen and topical use of TXA have both proven to be effective and safe for patients undergoing posterior spinal fusion surgeries, while TXA has exhibited better efficacy. The total amount of perioperative blood loss reduced significantly without increasing incidence of related complications.
