First seen Mar 30, 2026 · Last updated May 15, 2026 · Updated 12 times
Summary
This study looked at whether placing a drain after knee replacement surgery changes how much blood patients lose or how often they need a blood transfusion. 102 adults having knee replacement were split into two groups: one got a drain, the other did not. Researchers measured hemoglobin before surgery and at 24 and 48 hours after to compare the results.
