The Effect of Epidural Anesthesia on the Intra-operative and Post-operative Amount of Bleeding Following Lower Limb Salvage Surgery
Assessment of intra-operative bleeding will be based upon weighing and counting of the blood
soaked dressing and the amount of blood transfusion used.
Assessment of post-operative bleeding will be based upon the amount of blood collected from
the suction drain and amount of blood transfusion.
All patient subjected to anticoagulant post-operative or another type of surgery other than
implantation of prosthesis will be excluded from the study.
Inclusion Criteria:
- lower limb bone tumor
- reconstruction by prosthesis
Exclusion Criteria:
- upper limb and pelvic salvage surgery.
- other methods of reconstruction than prosthesis
- use of tourniquet intra-operative.
- post-operative anticoagulation.
Type of Study:
Interventional
Study Design:
Allocation: Randomized, Endpoint Classification: Safety/Efficacy Study, Intervention Model: Parallel Assignment, Masking: Open Label, Primary Purpose: Health Services Research
Outcome Measure:
Measure the blood loss intra- and post-operative in both the contro and study groups
Outcome Description:
The amount of blood loss will be assessed using: Intra-operative: measurement of dressing before and after being soaked. Post-operative: amount of blood drainage and duration of use of the suction drain.
Outcome Time Frame:
start of surgery until removal of sucction drain
