Abstract :
Femur fracture is the loss of continuity of the femur bone accompanied
by soft tissue damage (muscle, skin). This open femur fracture often causes
bleeding because anatomically the artery flows along the femur close to the femur
bone, so if a fracture occurs in the femur it will cause injury to the femoral artery
which has an impact on the amount of blood that comes out which is at high risk
of hypovolemic shock. Anemia is a condition where the levels of hemoglobin,
hematocrit, and red blood cell counts are below normal. To find out if a patient
has anemia, check the hemoglobin level. The purpose of this study was to
compare Hemoglobin levels before and after blood transfusion in postoperative
femur fracture patients at Prof. Orthopedic Hospital. Dr. R. Soeharso conducted
in March 2021.
This research uses observational analytic method. This study was
conducted by examining Hemoglobin levels before and after blood transfusion in
postoperative femoral patients with a total sample of 20 and the side technique
was purposive sampling. Hemoglobin examination using Sysmex XN-550 with
flowcytometry method.
The results of the study were based on male sex as many as 20 people
with the average hemoglobin before transfusion was 7,9 gr/dl, while the average
hemoglobin after transfusion was 9,7 gr/dl. The results of the different test results
of Hemoglobin level examination using the Paired sample t-test test obtained a
significance value of 0.000 < 0.05.
The results of this study can be concluded that there is a significant
difference in the results of examination of hemoglobin levels before and after
transfusion.
