| Description | Tranexamic acid (TXA) reduces surgical blood loss and alleviates inflammatory response in total hip arthroplasty. However, studies have not identified an optimal regimen. The objective of this study was to identify the most effective regimen of multiple-dose oral TXA in achieving maximum reduction of blood loss and inflammatory response based on pharmacokinetic recommendations. We prospectively studied four multiple-dose regimens (60 patients each) with control group (group A: matching placebo). The four multiple-dose regimens included: 2-g oral TXA 2 hours pre-operatively followed by 1-g oral TXA 3 hours post-operatively (group B), 2-g oral TXA followed by 1-g oral TXA 3 and 7 hours post-operatively (group C), 2-g oral TXA followed by 1-g oral TXA 3, 7 and 11 hours post-operatively (group D) and 2-g oral TXA followed by 1-g oral TXA 3, 7, 11 and 15 hours post-operatively (group E). The primary endpoint was estimated blood loss on post-operative day (POD) 3. Secondary endpoints were thromboelastographic parameters, inflammatory components, function recovery and adverse events. Groups D and E had significantly less blood loss on POD 3, with no significant difference between the two groups. Group E had the most prolonged haemostatic effect, and all thromboelastographic parameters remained within normal ranges. Group E had the lowest levels of inflammatory cytokines and the greatest range of motion. No thromboembolic complications were observed. The post-operative four-dose regimen brings about maximum efficacy in reducing blood loss, alleviating inflammatory response and improving analgaesia and immediate recovery. |
