Abstract

With a mean Hb drop of 2.75 g/dL, the application of diathermy and surgeries with shorter durations resulted in a reduced Hb drop. These factors should be incorporated to minimize the drop in Hb in orthopedic surgeries. Accounting for differences in surgeries, there should not be delays in patients who have a preoperative Hb level that can sustain the mean Hb drop recorded in the study.
