Research Progress of Hidden Blood Loss after Tibial Fracture Surgery
Journal: Journal of Clinical Medicine Research DOI: 10.32629/jcmr.v6i1.3665
Abstract
Tibial fracture is a common traumatic injury in the field of orthopedics. The problem of hidden blood loss after tibial fracture is gradually attracting the attention of clinicians. Hidden blood loss not only has a negative impact on the rehabilitation process of patients, but also may cause a variety of complications. Therefore, it is particularly important to have a deep understanding of the mechanism of hidden blood loss and the related evaluation methods. Studies have shown that the mechanism of hidden blood loss after tibial fracture surgery is complex, involving the influence of many factors, including surgical methods, individual differences of patients, postoperative management and so on. Although a variety of methods have been proposed to assess hidden blood loss, they still face certain challenges and limitations in practical application. In addition, the impact of hidden blood loss on patient outcomes has not been fully studied and understood. This article reviews the research progress of hidden blood loss after tibial fracture surgery, discusses its mechanism, evaluation methods and influencing factors, and analyzes its potential impact on the rehabilitation of patients.
