Filter by:Cesarean section is the most prevalent operation among women globally, 10-15% (1, 2). Recent research has shown Egypt to be the third-largest country globally, with an estimated 52% cesarean sections (3). However, the cesarean section has many serious complications, including the primary postpartum hemorrhage (PPH) (4). During labor, the average blood loss is about 300 to 400 ml. Bleeding postpartum is known as losing over five hundred milliliter of blood following a vaginal birth and losing over one thousand milliliter after the cesarean section (5). The prime cause of maternal death rate is postpartum bleeding, predominately in poor countries, and the estimated mortality number due to postpartum bleeding is one hundred thousand per year (6). Therefore, it is essential to reduce bleeding during and after CS to diminish maternal mortality and morbidity (7). The most successful technique for decreasing PPH is the active third stage labor management, requiring prophylactic uterotonic drugs like oxytocin, ergometrine malate, prostaglandins (E1, E2, and F2α), and combinations of them, or hemostatic agent as tranexamic acid (Kapron) and Etamsylate (Dicynon) (8, 9).
This study aims to assess the role of intraprostatic injection of tranexamic acid in decreasing the blood loss during Transurethral resection of the prostate.
Hematoma is a common complication of alloplastic breast reconstruction. This can lead to pain and discomfort experienced by the patient, in addition to greater use of valuable healthcare resources. Previous studies have shown correlation between the use of tranexamic acid (TXA), an anti-fibrinolytic, and reduced post-surgical bleeding complication events. In this randomized control trial (RCT) assessing TXA use in alloplastic breast reconstruction, one breast will be randomized to have TXA applied topically, while the other will have normal saline (NS) placebo applied. The primary objective of this prospective blinded randomized control trial study is to determine if the administration of topical TXA in alloplastic breast reconstruction reduces the incidence of surgical site hematoma compared to placebo within 2 weeks following surgery. The results of this study will be used to inform the design of a larger multicentered RCT on TXA in breast surgery.
Hematoma is a common complication of bilateral breast reduction (BBR) surgery. This can lead to pain and discomfort experienced by the patient, in addition to greater use of valuable healthcare resources. Previous studies have shown correlation between the use of tranexamic acid (TXA), an anti-fibrinolytic, and reduced post-surgical bleeding complication events. In this randomized control trial (RCT) evaluation TXA use in BBR, for which one breast will be randomized to have TXA applied topically, while the other will have normal saline (NS) placebo applied. The primary objective of this prospective blinded randomized control trial study is to determine if the administration of topical TXA in BBR reduces the incidence of surgical site hematoma compared to placebo within 2 weeks following surgery. The results of this study will be used to inform the design of a larger multicentered RCT on TXA in breast surgery.
Nerve blocks are used for pain and surgery after many operations today. It has been demonstrated by studies that the amount of postoperative bleeding decreases. On the other hand, surgical teams can use additional medications, such as Tranexamic acid, which have been proven by different studies that have reduced bleeding during and after arthroscopic surgery.
Tranexamic acid has been shown to be effective in reducing blood loss and transfusion in orthopedic surgery. It remains unknown the ideal therapeutic regimen. The goal of this study is to compare 3 dosage regimen of tranexamic acid in patients submitted to major orthopedic surgery.
