does tranexamic acid reduce bleeding during femoral fracture operation?

چکیده
background:proximal femoral shaft fractures are commonly associated with marked blood loss which can lead topostoperative acute anemia and some other complications.tranexamic acid (ta) is an antifibrinolytic medication that reduces intra-and postoperative blood loss and transfusionrequirements during some elective surgeries (1-3).the aim of this study is to evaluate the effect of intravenous tranexamic acid (ta) on intraoperative blood loss and asubsequent need for transfusion in patients who were undergoing surgery for femoral shaft fractures in trauma setting.methods:thirty-eight asa grade i-ii patients undergoing proximal femoral shaft fracture surgery with intra medullarynailing were included in this double blind randomized controlled clinical trial. they were allocated into two groups. groupi, the intervention group with eighteen patients received 15 mg/kg (ta) via intravenous infusion before surgical incision.patients in the placebo group received an identical volume of normal saline.hemoglobin level was measured four hours before and after the surgeries. postoperative blood loss and hemoglobinchange as well as transfusion rates and volumes were compared between the two groups.results:mean percentage fall in hemoglobin after surgery were 1.75±0.84 and 2.04±1.9 in the study and placebo groups,respectively (p=0.570). hemoglobin loss was higher in the placebo group. transfusion rates was lower in ta group(5.6%) compared to the placebo group (30%) (p=0.06). no significant difference in the allowable blood loss during thesurgery was found between the two groups (p=0.894).conclusion:preoperative treatment with ta reduces postoperative blood loss and the need for blood transfusion duringtraumatic femoral fracture operation.

متن کاملUse of tranexamic acid to reduce bleeding in burns surgery.
We describe, for the first time, the use of topical tranexamic acid as an adjunct to traditional methods in the control of bleeding in burns surgery. We illustrate our use with a case example and continue to discuss the reasons we believe it is a useful, effective and safe means of achieving haemostasis.

We reviewed the records of 66 patients who underwent cardiopulmonary bypass; half of these patients received the plasmin inhibitor, tranexamic acid. The demographics were not different between the group who received tranexamic acid and the group who did not (control group). There was no difference in the heparin or protamine requirements between the two groups. There was a significantly greater...
