Spinal anesthesia increases the risk of venous thromboembolism in total arthroplasty

Abstract: Clinical guidance on the choice of anesthetic modality vis-à-vis the risk of perioperative venous thromboembolism (VTE) is largely lacking because of a paucity of recent evidence. A comparative effect of general anesthesia and neuraxial blockade on the perioperative incidence of VTE has not been well-investigated.We compared the effects of different types of anesthetic modalities on the risk of VTE after total hip arthroplasty (THA) and total knee arthroplasty (TKA).This is a secondary analysis of the Japanese… Show more

“…Many existed confounding factors (advanced age, preoperative comorbidities, anesthesia projects, etc.) could be significantly associated with the conclusions [ 20 , 21 ]. We considered that the different races, age ranges, cohort characteristics, preoperative comorbidities, inclusion criteria, and antithrombotic prophylactic treatments around the surgery could all be potential explanations for our different conclusions with some other reports.…”

“…There are limitations in our study. Firstly, Previous studies have reported that epidural anesthesia was associated with a lower risk of postoperative venous thromboembolism 3 , as compared with that associated with spinal anesthesia. The reason is the superior pain relief afforded by epidural analgesia, which facilitates the early postoperative mobilization of patients.…”

“…Firstly, spinal anesthesia was associated with a higher risk of postoperative venous thromboembolism, as compared with that associated with epidural anesthesia 3 . Secondly, the incidence of postdural puncture headache (PDPH) in pregnant women undergoing spinal anesthesia during cesarean section was 10.8 % 4,5 .…”

“…By supporting blood flow in the limbs, graduated compression stockings reduce the rate of DVT by approximately 57% after THA [ 16 ], and may reduce risk further when used while inpatient and at home [ 17 ]. There is also evidence that pre-operative common iliac vein compression increases VTE risk after THA, and that the choice of anesthesia may impact VTE risk for various reasons [ 18 , 19 ]. Rapid recovery programs and early mobilization may reduce the immobilization period after THA and TKA.…”
