Summary:This study aimed to investigate drain use in a controlled population of patients with hip osteoarthritis undergoing primary total hip arthroplasty. This prospective controlled trial evaluated 93 patients randomized into two groups: a group that received drains and a group that did not. The patients who were randomized to the drain group used a 3.2mm drain placed under the fascia that was kept in place for 24h. Postoperative evaluations were performed after 24h and then three, six, and 12 weeks after total hip arthroplasty. The primary outcome was perioperative blood loss in both groups 24h after total hip arthroplasty. The other parameters that were evaluated included mid-thigh circumference, the rate of blood transfusion, hematocrit, inflammatory serum levels, and the Harris Hip Score. The clinical and laboratory data revealed no differences between the study groups with respect to blood loss and need for blood transfusion, duration of hospital stay, reoperation rate, complications, inflammatory serum markers, and the Harris Hip Score. Patients without closed suction drainage reported higher pain levels after 24h (VAS score 1 vs. 2, p<0.01). Similar clinical and laboratory outcomes were found in both cohorts. Investigar o uso de drenos em uma população controlada de pacientes com osteoartrose do quadril submetidos a artroplastia total de quadril primária. Este estudo prospectivo controlado avaliou 93 pacientes randomizados em dois grupos: um grupo no qual se usou drenos e um grupo no qual não se usou drenos. Os pacientes que foram randomizados para o grupo com drenos utilizaram dreno de 3,2mm, colocado sob a fáscia, e mantido no local por 24 horas. As avaliações pós-operatórias foram realizadas após 24 horas e três, seis e 12 semanas após a artroplastia total de quadril. O desfecho primário foi perda sanguínea perioperatória em ambos os grupos 24 horas após a artroplastia total de quadril. Os demais parâmetros avaliados foram circunferência do meio da coxa, taxa de transfusão de sangue, hematócrito, níveis séricos inflamatórios e Harris Hip Score. Os dados clínicos e laboratoriais não indicaram diferenças entre os grupos de estudo quanto à perda de sangue e necessidade de transfusão de sangue, tempo de internação hospitalar, taxa de reoperação, complicações, marcadores séricos inflamatórios e Harris Hip Score. Os pacientes que não usaram drenos de sucção fechada relataram maiores níveis de dor após 24 horas (EVA 1 vs. 2, p<0,01). Encontramos resultados clínicos e laboratoriais semelhantes em ambas as coortes.
