Effectiveness, safety and indications of acute normovolemic haemodilution in total knee arthroplasty.

ABSTRACT: Total knee arthroplasty (TKA) is the most cost-effective, and potent method for the treatment of end-stage knee osteoarthritis. Acute normovolemic haemodilution (ANH) can effectively replace the need for allogeneic transfusions due to the high amount of bleeding during TKA. However, more studies are needed to prove the efficacy and safety of ANH and to clarify its indications in the field of knee replacement. Medical records from June 1, 2019 to June 1, 2021 were searched and grouped according to inclusion and exclusion criteria.

58 patients with ANH during TKA were selected as the ANH group (n = 58), and 58 patients with allogeneic transfusion were chosen as the control group (n = 58).

Part ii

Patients with anaemia were divided into the ANH group (n = 18) and the cont
