Official Title: The Prediction of Postoperative Hemorrahge Amount in Total Knee Replacement Using Fibtem

Brief Summary: Retrospective study to evaluate if FIBTEM predicts the amount of postoperative bleeding in total knee replacement patients.

Detailed Summary:

This retrospective study evaluate patients who underwent total knee replacement arthroplasty. Laboratory coagulation parameters, including FIBTEM, before anesthesia induction and after admission to the post-anesthetic care unit and decrement of postoperative haemoglobin and amount of transfusion were reviewed.

A correlation coefficient of ρ = 0.4 was calculated from a pilot study. We need at least 44 subjects with an α value of 0.05 and a power of 0.8.
