Retrospective Chart Analysis in the Effective Use of FloSeal in Post-Operative Joint Replacements

Status unconfirmed

Conditions studied: Total Knee Arthroplasty, Arthroplasty, Replacement, Hip

In brief

The purpose of this analysis is to compare Hemoglobin and Hematocrit levels following total hip or knee arthroplasty. The utilization of FloSeal intraoperatively will improve hemostasis postoperatively. Decreasing bleeding time will decrease the drop in level of Hemoglobin and Hematocrit which usually occurs postoperatively.
