Total Shoulder Athroplasty Clinical Trial
Official title:
The Effect of Tranexamic Acid in Anticoagulated Patients Undergoing Total Shoulder Athroplasty
This is a randomized, single-blind, single-center study comparing calculated total blood loss, surgical drain output and hematoma formation in anticoagulated patients who receive 2 doses of Tranexamic Acid (TXA) versus control group undergoing anatomical and reverse total shoulder arthroplasty (TSA). Patients will be randomized to either receive 2 doses of IV TXA, first dose prior to surgical incision and second dose given 3 hours later or to the control group, where no TXA will be administered.
