Does aprotinin reduce blood loss in total hip arthroplasty?

G Petsatodis et al. Orthopedics. 2006 Jan.

Abstract

This prospective randomized study examined the effects of aprotinin during total hip arthroplasty (THA). Fifty patients who were enrolled in the study received aprotinin or normal saline. Mean intraoperative blood loss was reduced from 1496 mL in the control group to 1073 mL in the aprotinin group. The mean transfusion unit was 1.56 in the aprotinin group and 3.8 in the control group.
