Objective: To determine if access to the radial artery and the prevalence of AKI during interventional procedures, with an emphasis on evaluating the possible advantages of radial access in lowering the risk of AKI. Methods: An examination of 132 instances classified by access location (radial artery as opposed to other sites) was done retrospectively. Beginning in September 2022 and ending in March 2023, the study's length was six months. AKI incidence, procedure specifics, and demographic data were compared. The independent influence of radial access on the risk of AKI was evaluated using multivariate logistic regression. Results: The radial artery group (13.6%) exhibited a significantly lower AKI incidence than the comparator group (27.3%). Multivariate analysis confirmed the independent association. Conclusions: The possible relevance of access to the radial artery in reducing post-procedural AKI highlights the possibility of a safer alternative. Evidence-based access site selection is becoming more crucial in the age of patient-centered healthcare to improve procedural outcomes.","PeriodicalId":45690,"journal":{"name":"Pakistan Journal of Medical & Health Sciences","volume":"19 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135978254","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Seroma formation is a common complication after hernioplasty. Tranexamic acid (TXA) has emerged as a promising prophylactic agent for seroma prevention, as it inhibits fibrin breakdown, reducing blood loss and blood transfusions. Objective: To evaluate the role of intravenous tranexamic acid in the prevention of seroma formation after umbilical and paraumbilical hernioplasty. Methods: It was a cohort study conducted at the department of surgery, Kulsoom Bai Valika Hospital, Karachi, Pakistan from Oct 2022 to Apr 2022. Patients aged 18 years or above who underwent umbilical and paraumbilical hernioplasty of either gender were involved in the study. The individuals were then categorized into two groups: the exposed group, consisting of patients who received intravenous tranexamic acid (IVTXA), and the unexposed group, comprising of patients who did not receive IVTXA. Both groups were monitored for a duration of three months to assess the incidence of seroma formation. Results: Out of 30 patients in each group, 4 patients (13.3%) in the IVTXA group developed seroma, while 26 patients (86.7%) in the Without TXA group developed seroma. This difference was statistically significant with p-value=0.0021. The risk of seroma formation is 0.22 times lesser in patients with intravenous tranexamic acid as compared to patients without tranexamic acid (RR=0.22, 95% CI: 0.12-0.91).
