The effect of single-dose intravenous tranexamic acid in simultaneous bilateral total hip arthroplasty: a retrospective study
We found a low transfusion rate (6.5%) after SBTHA among patients administered a single dose of 20 mg/kg of TXA, with young patients and male patients at lower risk of requiring transfusions. Our results suggest that performing SBTHA with current blood management protocols is effective in patients with bilateral hip disease.
