The relationship between post-tonsillectomy bleeding and preoperative blood parameters in pediatric patients
Abstract
Objectives: In our
study, the significance of preoperative whole blood
and coagulation test values in predicting posttonsillectomy bleeding
were investigated.
Patients and
Methods: The files of
115 pediatric patients who
underwent bilateral tonsillectomy for chronic tonsillitis by the same
surgical team between January 1, 2019, and December 31,
2020, in the ear, nose, and throat clinic of Adana City
Training and Research Hospital were retrospectively reviewed.
Patients with a history of coagulopathy and missing data
were excluded from the study. The remaining 81 pediatric
patients (34 females, 47 males; mean age 8.5±3 years;
range, 3 to 17 years) were included in the study. All surgeons had
at least five years of professional experience.
Results: After
tonsillectomy, the patients were divided into two groups
as those without (Group 1, n=53) and with (Group 2, n=28)
bleeding in the operative field. Although the days of bleeding
changed between the 1st and 14th days after surgery, it was most
frequently observed on the 7th and 8th days.
Conclusion: In our
study, the age of the patient and the preoperative
whole blood and coagulation parameters, hematocrit,
neutrophil, and mean platelet volume, were found to be
associated with bleeding after tonsillectomy.
