We have studied the effect of aprotinin on blood loss and subsequent blood transfusion in 17 patients undergoing knee replacement surgery. Patients receiving aprotinin (total dose 2,000,000 kallikrein inhibiting units) received fewer units of blood than control patients (P < 0.05), although there was no significant difference in blood loss between the two groups. The study was stopped when one ...
