Antibiotic Dose

A 77-year-old female received uneventful spinal anaesthesia for a total knee replacement. Upon the advice of the microbiologists and at the request of the orthopaedic surgeon, a vancomycin infusion was commenced prior to the application of the leg tourniquet. Five minutes later, having received only 40 mg of the antibiotic dose, she became unconscious and suffered severe cardiovascular collapse, from which she was resuscitated with intravenous ephedrine and adrenaline.

AbstractIntroductionTotal knee replacement (TKR) is the treatment of choice for the millions of individuals whose osteoarthritis related pain can no longer be managed through non-invasive methods. Although most patients report improvement in pain and functioning following TKR, up to 30% report after 1–2 years persistent pain that interferes with their daily function. Further knowledge on long term results are highly demanded. The present study is the first 5 year follow-up of all patients from a whole region.MethodsPatients were interviewed by letter concerning pain, overall satisfaction and forgotten joint score (FJS). In 2011, 607 patients in the region of North Denmark had a primary TKR, of which 20 was bilateral. Still alive are 546 patients. A total of 498 answered by letter (91%) of which 13 were not able to answer detailed due to psychological reasons.ResultsA total of 290 (59%) patients were very satisfied with their TKR, 140 (30%) were satisfied and 58 (12%) dissatisfied. Pain free were 269 (55%). 163 patients (33%) experienced moderate pain and 55 (11%) had strong pain. Dissatisfaction and pain were highly correlated, especially pain at walking: Among patients reporting strong pain, 35 (64%) scored higher than 6 on the VAS-average pain last 24 h versus 46 (84%) that scored higher than 6 on the VAS-pain after 30 min’s walk.ConclusionsAmong an unselected series of patients having TKR, 12% were dissatisfied and 11% still had strong pain 5 years later. Dissatisfaction was especially correlated with pain when walking. Thus, the association between dissatisfaction, pain at activity and the individual expectations should be further focused.
