The authors present the results of retrospective analysis of data collected from 246 patients who underwent total hip replacement at the UniversityHospital Pilsen between November 1, 1997 and April 30, 1999. There is compared blood loss during general to spinal anesthesia with respect to theduration of a procedure. There was not observed a difference in a blood loss between the two anesthesia groups. Surgical procedure of total hipreplacement lasting more than 100 minutes was associated with significantly greater blood loss, irrespectively of the type of anesthesia provided.
