NCT05828810
The goal of this clinical trial is to compare two types of skin preparation solutions (chlorhexidine gluconate-alcohol solution and povidone-iodine solution) that help eliminate harmful bacteria on the skin at the time of surgery for patients having revision arthroplasty surgery of the hip or knee. The main outcome of interest for the definitive study is the need for re-operation for a wound complication or an infection of the prosthetic joint within one year after surgery. For the pilot trial, our main interest is to determine feasibility of a definitive trial. Feasibility outcomes will include: ability to recruit patients, ability to randomize patients, ability to collect complete data, estimate the event rate of our primary outcome, ability to carry out data linkages and determine the accuracy of collected data. Participants will be contacted at two time points after surgery to complete a 5-minute survey: after 30 days, and after 1 year.

Sixty patients aged between 60 and 75 years old of both sex of ASA physical status I and II were included in this randomized study who were divided into the study group of 30 patients who had been transfused autologous blood and the control group of 30 patients who had been transfused only allogeneic blood. Parenteral iron preparation was given to all patients of the study group after each donation. Intraoperatively all patients of the study group received 2 grams of intravenous tranexamic acid. This study was conducted through the laboratory analysis of the hemoglobin and the hematocrit values during blood donation and for both groups in the pre-operative and the post-operative period and the assessment of the amount of transfused blood units in both groups.
