Abstract
Background Through a prospective study, we evaluated the efficacy of an integrated autotransfusion regimen comprised of predeposit-hemodiluition and intra and post-operative blood salvage in major orthopaedic surgery. Methods We examined the records of 2303 consecutive patients (1524 females and 779 males, mean age 62.7, standard deviation 11 years (range 16–90 yrs), pre-operative haemoglobin (Hb) concentration 13.5 (SD 1.4) (range 6.7–19.3) g/dl undergong total hip arthroplasty (THA 1582 patients), THA after the removal of internal fixation devices (RFD+THA, 25 patients), total knee arthroplasty (TKA, 347 patients), revision surgery of the hip (HR, cup+stem revision, 248 patients; cup revision 64 patients; stem revision 23 patients) and total knee revision (TKR 14 patients). We estimated that the number of predonations (MSBOS - maximum surgery blood order schedule) was 2 units for THA, TKA and TKR, and 3 units for partial or total hip revision and for total hip arthroplasty with fixation removal. Results It was possible to obtain the MSBOS in 2070 patients (89.8%). Homologous red blood cell (HRBC) transfusion were carried out in 184 patients (8%). We found that the need to use HRBC was significantly associated with failure to meet the number of MSBOS, female sex, lower pre-operative Hb concentration, use of calcium heparin for antithrombosis prophylaxis, more extensive surgery, a higher ASA rating and co-existing diseases such as coronary artery disease. Conclusions Cooperation among anaesthesis, transfusionists and surgeons in the application of an integrated autotransfusion regimen enabled us to treat 92% of our patients with only autotransfusion.

Abstract
The aim of this study was to describe a system of salvaging and reinfusing chyle which accumulated in the right pleural cavity of a patient after a thoracic duct lesion caused by a closed chest injury associated with amyelic fracture of the dorsal spine D10-D11. The chyle was collected in a reservoir (BT 844 Dideco), transfered by an electronic pump (BT 797 recovery Dideco) to a storage bag, microfiltered and then reinfused to the patient. A solution was needed to prevent the patient with severe chylothorax, from having immunological and metabolic imbalance. The long period of conservative treatment with our system was imposed by the onset of acute post-traumatic myocardic infarction which delayed surgery. From experience gained, we can say that using total parenteral nutrition, chyle can not only be salvaged but also reinfused, respecting the strict rules of hygiene.

Abstract
The aim of this multicenter, randomized, dou ble-blind study performed in patients undergoing elective hip surgery was to compare the efficacy and safety of prophylaxis with low-molecular-weight heparin (LMWH) (Nadroparin, 7,500 anti-Xa IC units for the first 3 days and 10,000 from the fourth day on, s.c. o.i.d.) begun in one group shortly after surgery and in the other 12 h before operation, as is usually recommended. Preopera tive administration (drug or placebo) was the only differ ence between the two groups. Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) was detected by bilateral venography 10-15 days after surgery. The study investigated 179 patients (55 men), 40-80 years old, in seven Italian orthopedic cen ters. In 131 patients efficacy analysis was possible be cause of adequate bilateral venography. All 179 patients were evaluated for bleeding complications. The preva lence of thrombotic complications was similar in the two groups. Proximal DVT was found in 8.4% of patients (10.8% and 6.1% in the preop and postop groups, respec tively ; difference not statistically significant). Distal DVT was recorded in 30.5% of patients (30.8% and 30.3% in the pre- and postop groups, respectively). DVTs were more common in patients ≥65 years old (54.2% versus 28.4%, p < 0.05); no significant differences were detected in terms of other characteristics. No significant differ ences were recorded in the number or type of bleeding complications: major (nonfatal) bleeding episodes were reported in five patients (2.8%, two and three in the pre- and postop groups); minor bleeding was noted in 25 (13.9%, 14 and 11 in the pre- and postop groups). In con clusion, the present study suggests that a LMWH regi men started postoperatively is no less effective in pre venting DVT in elective hip replacement than the classi cal regimen started preoperatively. Surprisingly, postoperative commencement offered no significant ad vantage in terms of bleeding complications.

Abstract
AIM The aim of the study was to determine the doses of ropivacaine combined with mepivacaine for sciatic nerve blockade to enable the extension of analgesia without prolonged motor blockade, for the management of very painful operations in one-day surgery. METHODS After obtaining approval by the ethics committee and written informed consent, we recruited 30 ASA I-III patients undergoing corrective orthopedic surgery of the forefoot in one-day surgery with sciatic nerve blockade. The patients were randomly divided into 3 groups: one control group, treated by 1.5% mepivacaine (300 mg), and two groups differentiated by the dose of 0.5% ropivacaine (25 and 40 mg) used in combination with 1.5% mepivacaine (225 mg). The offset data of the blockade were obtained by a self-assessment form filled in by the patients, and a direct check on discharge by a blinded observer. RESULTS There was no significant difference in the duration of the blockade among the 3 groups; the extension of analgesia was significant (P<0.003) in the group treated by mepivacaine+ropivacaine 40 mg (mean 477+/-255 min). CONCLUSION Adequate doses of ropivacaine added to mepivacaine for peripheral blockade produce and increase the duration of analgesia without influencing the criteria for discharge after Day Surgery.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Optimize patient management in one day surgery (ODS) by an observative study regarding one day orthopaedic surgery, assessing kind and quantity of intra- and postoperative complications, need for prolonged postoperative assistance postponing discharge, recovery in other hospitals, patients satisfaction index. METHODS From september 1999 until december 2000 we distributed a questionnaire 1286 consecutive patients. The patients were ASA I (80,7%), ASA II (17%) and ASA III (2,3%). We evaluated intra- and postoperative complications considering type of surgery and anaesthesiologic technique; need and reason for medical consulting; if consulting took place in other institutes. Patients judgement regarding medical and nursing assistance during in hospital stay was assessed. RESULTS Main surgical procedures: arthroscopy (44,6%), internal fixation removal (21,3%), neurolysis (9,5%), cysts/tumours/nodules removal (7,5%), foot surgery (8,0%). Used anaesthesiologic techniques: neural block (65,6%), plexus block (15,1%), general (12,5%), spinal (4,8%) and local anaesthesia (1,9%). An intraoperative complication (convulsion) was reported twice. Postoperative complications: pain (3,6%) most frequent in foot surgery (5,2%), nausea (0,2%), fever (0,7%), haematoma (0,5%). 5 delayed discharges (beyond 24h) were reported, for surgical reasons. In 5 cases another institute was visited. There were no deads. CONCLUSIONS The percentage of not planned recoveries (0,1%) is an indication of frequency of major complications. Satisfaction index of patients was high (96%). Kind of surgical procedure and anaesthesiologic technique, considering the minimal intra- and postoperative complications, are adjusted to the ODS regime. Reinforcing analgesic protocols in foot surgery though are necessary. According to our opinion the peripheral block is preferable in orthopaedic ODS.

Abstract
PURPOSE To compare unilateral and conventional bilateral bupivacaine spinal block in outpatients undergoing knee arthroscopy. METHODS One hundred healthy, premedicated patients randomly received conventional bilateral (n = 50) or unilateral (n = 50) spinal anesthesia with 8 mg hyperbaric bupivacaine 0.5%. A lateral decubitus position after spinal injection was maintained in unilateral group for 15 min. Times from spinal injection to readiness for surgery, block resolution, and home discharge were recorded. RESULTS Three patients in each group were excluded due to failed block. Readiness for surgery required 13 min (5 - 25 min) with bilateral and 16 min (15 - 30) with unilateral spinal block (P = 0.0005). Sensory and motor blocks on the operated limb were T9 (T12 - T2) with a Bromage score 0/1/2/3: 0/2/0/45 in the unilateral group and T7 (T12 - T1) with Bromage score 0/1/2/3: 4/1/6/36 with bilateral block(P = 0.026 and P = 0.016, respectively). Vasopressor was required only in five bilateral patients (P = 0.02). Two segment regression of sensory level and home discharge required 81+/-25 min and 281+/-83 min with bilateral block, and 99+/-28 min and 264+/-95 min with unilateral block (P = 0.002 and P = 0.90, respectively). CONCLUSION Seeking unilateral distribution of spinal anesthesia provided more profound and longer lasting block in the operated limb, less cardiovascular effects, and similar home discharge compared with bilateral spinal anesthesia, with only a slight delay in preparation time.

Abstract
Two thousand, three hundred and three patients who had undergone major orthopaedic surgery were statistically analysed for the incidence of complications comparing three regimens of prophylaxis and coexisting diseases; 2090 patients did not present postoperative complications. PTE occurred in 0.65% (one fatal). The mortality rate was 0.34% and the incidence of haemorrhage (haematoma and one gastric haemorrhage) was 3.8%. Patients treated with indobufen had a shorter hospital stay and the need for homologous blood transfusions was lower than for patients treated with calcium heparin. The rate of PTE was notably different in the three groups, being lower in the group treated with enoxaparin, although this result was not found to be statistically significant.

Abstract
Using a prospective audit, we have evaluated the efficacy of an integrated autotransfusion regimen which comprised predepositing and intra- and postoperative blood salvage in major orthopaedic surgery. We examined prospectively the records of 1785 patients (1198 females, 5867 males, mean age 62 (range 16-90) yr, preoperative haemoglobin concentration 13.4 (SD 1.4) g dl-1) undergoing total hip arthroplasty (THA, 1229 patients), THA after removal of internal fixation devices (RFD + THA, 18 patients), total knee arthroplasty (TKA, 263 patients), revision surgery of the hip (HR cup + stem revision, 197 patients; cup revision, 53 patients; stem revision, 16 patients) and total knee revision (TKR, nine patients). We estimated that the number of predonations (MSBOS = maximum surgery blood order schedule) was 2 u. for THA, TKA and TKR, and 3 u. for partial or total hip revision and total hip arthroplasty with fixation removal. We found that it was possible to obtain the MSBOS in 1597 patients (89.5%). Homologous red blood cell (HRBC) transfusions were carried out in 131 patients (7.3%). We found that the need to use HRBC was significantly associated with failure to meet the number of MSBOS, female sex, lower preoperative haemoglobin concentration, use of calcium heparin for antithrombosis prophylaxis, more extensive surgery, higher ASA rating and co-existing diseases such as coronary artery disease.

Abstract
The authors report the results obtained with antibiotic and antithromboembolic prophylaxis used in 700 consecutive primary total hip arthroplasties. As for antibiotic prophylaxis (5 cases of infection: 0.7%) the various types of antibiotic used always kept the infection rate under 1%, confirming the effectiveness of the preventive use of antibioticotherapy. The incidence of deep venous thrombosis and pulmonary embolia were 3.7% and 0.7%, respectively (26 cases of DVT and 5 of PET). The incidence of DVT rose to 34.4% in a selected group of cases in which phlebography had been carried out even in the absence of symptoms of DVT. This confirms that the routine use of this method would without a doubt be useful in preventing complications with a high risk for the life of the patient (pulmonary embolia). As for pharmacological prophylaxis, indobufene and calcium heparin were the drugs used most: their effectiveness was nearly similar, despite the fact that the use of calcium heparin in patients considered to be at a higher risk for thromboembolic complications should be made clear.
