“…Walsh et al clearly describe the advantage of the gravimetric assessment of blood loss, which is routine clinical practice after caesarean section in their hospital, compared with visual estimation. They found a stronger relationship between estimated blood loss, by gravimetric assessment, and perioperative haemoglobin (Hb) change than we found by visual estimation, although a direct randomised comparison between the two methods has not been performed 1 . However, we consider that further research is needed to establish this beyond doubt.…”

Aprotinin, tranexamic acid, and epsilon-aminocaproic acid are effective for reducing blood loss and transfusions in patients managed with spine surgery. With the exception of aprotinin, the side-effect profiles of these agents have not been shown to cause any substantial morbidity or to increase the rate of thromboembolic events. Epsilon-aminocaproic acid had a greater effect on reducing blood transfusions as the complexity of surgery increased. The surgeon and/or the anesthesiologist should consider the use of antifibrinolytic agents for patients undergoing spinal procedures in which a large amount of blood loss can be expected; however, at the present time, this is not a United States Food and Drug Administration-approved indication for these agents.
