Liberal Versus Restrictive Transfusion During Symptomatic Moderate Anemia After Hip Arthroplasty
Study Overview
Status
Conditions
Intervention / Treatment
Detailed Description
Hip arthroplasty is associated with bleeding and postoperative anemia. However, the optimal strategy for transfusing red blood cells (RBC) remains to be elucidated. Postoperative anemia may cause dizziness and fatigue which delays early mobilization after surgery and may trigger the transfusion of one or more RBC units. However, it is not known whether the administration of 1-2 units of RBC to patients suffering from moderate postoperative anemia (HB 7.5 - 10 g/dl) will improve postoperative dizziness.
Thus, this randomized controlled study aims to evaluate whether the administration of 1-2 RBC units on the first postoperative day improves postoperative dizziness in patients undergoing total hip arthroplasty.

What is the study measuring?
Primary Outcome Measures
Outcome Measure |
Measure Description |
Time Frame |
---|---|---|
Postoperative Dizziness scale
Time Frame: Day 1 after surgery
|
Dizziness scale (0-3) evaluated by the study nurse. The scale is evaluated upon information on the 1) severeness of dizziness AND 2) it´s consequenses for early mobilization after surgery. 0 - No dizziness.
|
Day 1 after surgery
|
Secondary Outcome Measures
Outcome Measure |

Time Frame: Day 1 after surgery and on the day of discharge (expected mean 4 days after surgery)
|
Measures the time it take the subject to rise from a chair, walk 3 meters and return to the chair.
|
Day 1 after surgery and on the day of discharge (expected mean 4 days after surgery)
|
Fatigue score
Time Frame: Day 1 after surgery and on the day of discharge (expected mean 4 days after surgery)
|
Numeric rating scale 0-10, measuring subjective feeling of fatigue.
|
Day 1 after surgery and on the day of discharge (expected mean 4 days after surgery)
|
FACT-Anemia scale
Time Frame: 7 and 14 days
|
Validated subjective score addressing anemia related symptoms.
