Abstract
Total hip replacement (THR) has proved to be a reliable treatment for the end stage of hip osteoarthritis. It is a common orthopaedic procedure with excellent results, but is associated with significant blood loss and high rates of allogeneic blood transfusion (ABT). The potential complications and adverse events after ABT, combined with the ongoing research, have resulted in multimodel, multidisciplinary blood management strategies adoption, aiming to reduce the blood loss and transfusion rates. Many reviews and meta-analyses have tried to demonstrate the best blood management strategies. The purpose of this study is to review any evidence-based blood conserving technique, dividing them in three stages: preoperative, intraoperative and postoperative.
