Elevator pitch
What is already known on this topic
Local infiltration analgesia in combination with a multimodal pain approach helps for adequate postoperative pain control. Blood saving alternatives should be
implemented in the process of primary total hip and
knee arthroplasties. The endpoint in patient blood
management studies is usually Transfusion.
What this thesis adds
Local infiltration as defined in this study can be used
safely in combination with an autologous blood transfusion drainage system. Key clinical components of
a randomised trial are frequently inadequately taken
into account when performing a systematic review.
The endpoint transfusion in patient blood management studies needs additional information to make it
a strong endpoint
What is necessary in the future
More evidence based practice, use the correct available evidence in the light of your own hospital figures,
in patient blood management.
More adequate reporting of and
explanations for the transfusion
decisions made in patient blood
management trials.
