Assessment of Patients' Haematological Complications in A Hospital-Based Prospective Study

  • 1. Senior Consultant, Department of Orthopaedics, PGIMER & Capital Hospital, Bhubaneswar, Odisha, India

Description

Objective: In orthopaedic surgery, haematological post-operative problems are a worldwide issue that frequently occurs. Therefore, the purpose of the current study was to evaluate different post-operative haematological problems that could arise in people having orthopaedic surgery. Method: 100 patients who underwent orthopaedic surgery at the PGIMER & Capital Hospital, Bhubaneswar for a year were the subject of this prospective study, which was done. All blood bank data, including the number and date of transfusions obtained, were reviewed for medical records. Each postoperative data point was recorded separately and examined in an Excel sheet. The 17.0 version of SPSS was used to analyse the data. The level of significance was evaluated using the chi-square test. Results:  The current study involved a total of 100 individuals. The subjects’ average age was 57.3 years. 58 of the 100 participants were men, and 42 were women. 91 of the individuals had elective orthopaedic procedures, whereas the remaining 9 had emergency procedures. In our study population, knee and hip surgery were the next most frequently performed surgical procedures after spine surgery. Post-operative haematological problems were observed in 31 patients in total. 21 patients experienced transfusion as a result of these problems. There was significant bleeding in 4 cases. Conclusion: Haematological problems do happen to a considerable percentage of patients having different kinds of orthopaedic procedures. Future research including a larger sample size is advised to examine the relationship between haematological problems and patient prognosis.

 

 

 

Abstract (English)

Objective: In orthopaedic surgery, haematological post-operative problems are a worldwide issue that frequently occurs. Therefore, the purpose of the current study was to evaluate different post-operative haematological problems that could arise in people having orthopaedic surgery. Method: 100 patients who underwent orthopaedic surgery at the PGIMER & Capital Hospital, Bhubaneswar for a year were the subject of this prospective study, which was done. All blood bank data, including the number and date of transfusions obtained, were reviewed for medical records. Each postoperative data point was recorded separately and examined in an Excel sheet. The 17.0 version of SPSS was used to analyse the data. The level of significance was evaluated using the chi-square test. Results:  The current study involved a total of 100 individuals. The subjects’ average age was 57.3 years. 58 of the 100 participants were men, and 42 were women. 91 of the individuals had elective orthopaedic procedures, whereas the remaining 9 had emergency procedures. In our study population, knee and hip surgery were the next most frequently performed surgical procedures after spine surgery. Post-operative haematological problems were observed in 31 patients in total. 21 patients experienced transfusion as a result of these problems. There was significant bleeding in 4 cases. Conclusion: Haematological problems do happen to a considerable percentage of patients having different kinds of orthopaedic procedures. Future research including a larger sample size is advised to examine the relationship between haematological problems and patient prognosis.
