List estimated blood loss for specific orthopedic surgeries according to standard anesthesia books like morgan

1 answer

While I cannot access specific text or data from proprietary anesthesia textbooks like "Morgan & Mikhail's Clinical Anesthesiology," I can provide general estimates of blood loss associated with common orthopedic surgeries based on standard medical guidelines and literature. Here are some typical estimated blood losses for various orthopedic procedures:

  1. Total Hip Replacement (THR):

    • Estimated Blood Loss: 1,000 - 2,500 mL
  2. Total Knee Replacement (TKR):

    • Estimated Blood Loss: 1,000 - 2,000 mL
  3. Hip Fracture Repair:

    • Estimated Blood Loss: 500 - 1,500 mL
  4. Intramedullary Nailing of Femur:

    • Estimated Blood Loss: 500 - 1,000 mL
  5. Open Reduction and Internal Fixation (ORIF) of Ankle Fractures:

    • Estimated Blood Loss: 200 - 500 mL
  6. Spinal Surgery (e.g., Laminectomy, Fusion):

    • Estimated Blood Loss: 500 - 1,500 mL (can vary widely based on the extent of the procedure)
  7. Shoulder Arthroplasty:

    • Estimated Blood Loss: 400 - 1,000 mL
  8. Tibial Plateau Fracture Fixation:

    • Estimated Blood Loss: 500 - 1,200 mL

It's important to note that these ranges can vary significantly based on multiple factors, including the size of the patient, the complexity of the surgery, and the surgical technique employed. For precise and context-specific information, consulting a textbook or a recent clinical guideline is advisable. Always refer to the latest literature and institutional protocols when planning for anesthesia and fluid management during surgery.
