Clinical Trial Summary

We designed a prospective double-blinded randomized trial in an attempt to detect a difference between tranexamic acid (TXA) and epsilon aminocaproic acid (EACA) in reducing transfusion in patients undergoing cardiac surgery.


Clinical Trial Description

Background: This study compares the efficacy of tranexamic acid (TXA) to epsilon aminocaproic acid (EACA) in reducing blood loss in patients undergoing cardiac surgery. Methods: This was a double-blinded randomized trial. Patients (n=100) undergoing cardi- ac surgery were randomized to receive either TXA (10 mg/kg bolus followed by an infu- sion of 1mg/kg/hr) or EACA (150mg/kg bolus followed by an infusion of 20 mg/kg/hr). The primary outcome measure was a difference in transfusion amounts. ;
