Personalized bleeding management in total knee arthroplasty using reference change value: comparative analysis of tourniquet versus non-tourniquet techniques
The findings suggest that RCV offers a more individualized and sensitive approach to assessing perioperative blood loss in TKA. Although conventional methods did not demonstrate significant differences, RCV analysis indicated a more rapid hemostatic response in the non-tourniquet group. Incorporating RCV into routine clinical practice may enhance patient-specific blood management and support earlier postoperative decision making.
