Can Thrombelastography Predict Blood Loss in Patients With Hip Fractures

NCT02297061 · Status: COMPLETED · Type: OBSERVATIONAL · Enrollment: 180

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

Hip fractures are associated with a large hidden blood loss. That is, the total blood loss associated with hip fracture surgery is much greater than that observed intra operatively. There is currently no viable method of identifying patients at risk of transfusion. The on admission haemoglobin level has been shown to be falsely reassuring .

We are conducting a study of 200 consecutive hip fracture patients. Thrombelastography (TEG) is taken on admission. The results are blinded to clinicians. Results will be evaluated at the end of the study, comparing intra-operative and total blood losses with the TEG profile of the patient.
