Resumen
Introduction: It has been demonstrated that blood transfusions need is reduced when tranexamic acid (TA) is used during different surgical procedures. Objective: To determine if blood transfusions need is reduced by using TA during total knee and hip arthroplasty. Methods: Descriptive and retrospective study about 230 patients operated in Herrera Llerandi and Multimédica hospitals from 2015 through 2017. Binomial distribution was used for two populations to find out that the probability of reducing the need of blood transfusions Results: The use of blood transfusions was reduced in 97.7% when using TA. The probability of needing a blood transfusion is 83.4% when TA is not used. Conclusion: The need of blood transfusions during total knee and hip arthroplasty is reduced when using tranexamic acid in 97.7% with 95% confidence level.
