Filter by:The aim of this clinical study conducted in accordance with the information in the literature is to compare the effects of administering tranexamic acid during orthognathic surgery, at different doses. Specifically, investigators aim to compare the effects of administering 1 ampoule IV (approximately 3 mg/kg) and 2 ampoules IV (approximately 6 mg/kg), and evaluate their impact on intraoperative bleeding (ml), surgical duration (min), postoperative swelling, and intraoperative surgical field evaluation (Fromme Scale), by comparing them with control group (applying no drug administration) patient data.
Post-anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR) hemarthrosis may result in increased pain thus delaying postoperative rehabilitation, which may eventually lead to arthrofibrosis and a functional deficit. Many antifibrinolytic agents, including tranexamic acid (TXA), have been used in orthopedic surgeries to reduce postoperative bleeding. Moreover, TXA was proved effective to reduced the events of hemarthrosis and increased the post-operative functional outcomes of the patients in several studies. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of intra-articular injection of TXA with different drainage clamping time in patients receiving arthroscopic ACLRs. Patients were randomized into four groups. An intra-articular suction drain was placed recorded 24 h postoperatively. Group 1 patients(TXA 4hr group) received the index procedures with a 10 mL intra-articular injection of TXA and following drainage clamped 4 hours. Group 2 patients(TXA 8hr group) received the index procedures with a 10 mL intra-articular injection of TXA and following drainage clamped 8 hours. Clinical evaluations using an IKDC functional score and a Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) pain score were performed during admission, at postoperative day 3 and week 4.
Patients with epistaxis usually apply to the emergency department for initial treatment. According to recent research, tranexamic acid is effective in the treatment of epistaxis. The research compare the therapeutic superiority of saline with 500 and 1000 mg doses of topical tranexamic acid in the treatment of anterior epistaxis. The design of the phase 4 clinical trial was randomized controlled double-blind. A total of 152 cases in 3 groups were included in the study. Group 1 was treated with 1000 mg of tranexamic acid, group 2 with 500 mg of tranexamic acid, and group 3 with saline. The primary outcome of the study was bleeding control at the 5th and 10th minutes. Secondary outcomes were determined as the need for salvage therapy, recurrent bleeding within 24 hours, the presence of side effects, and the need for otorhinolaryngology consultation.
Abnormal uterine bleeding is the most common problems to discontinue Depo-medroxyprogesterone acetate (DMPA) in Thailand. This clinical trial use to provide drug to stop abnormal uterine bleeding from DMPA
Enhanced recovery after bariatric surgery imposes a significant reduction in length of hospital stay. However beneficial for the overall recovery it reduces the hospital observation time. after a laparoscopic surgery during which one of the longest resection line in surgery or anastomosis are created. Therefore, discovering possible safe and effective ways of pharmacologically reducing surgical blood loss and reducing the risk of postoperative bleeding would be an invaluable addition to the protocol. The systemic use of tranexamic acid (TXA) has been shown to be effective in many types of surgery, reducing the incidence of post-operative bleeding and thereby reducing the rate of reoperation.
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.
The investigators aimed to compare two doses of intravenous (IV) tranexamic acid (TXA) with a combined single dose of topical and IV TXA on haemoglobin decline 24 hours after total joint arthroplasties. The investigators conducted randomized, double-blind trial. The participants were randomized to either intrvenous group receiving 2 doses of 1 gram TXA in intravenous route 3 hours apart, or a combined application group receiving the first 1 gram IV and the topical dose was 1.5 gram after reduction of the fascia.
Tranexamic acid has been used to reduce bleeding and transfusion for years. Randomized studies showed its efficacity in orthopedic surgery, trauma and post-partum hemorrhage. Few data were available for other types of surgery and the safety profile of tranexamic use was nor clearly established. In april 2022, the results from the POISE-3 (Perioperative Ischemic Evaluation - 3) trial was published in the New England Journal of Medicine. This stdy clearly demonstrated in 9535 patients undergoing non-cardiac surgery, that the use of tranexamic acid significantly reduced not only perioperative bleeding, but also transfusions. The safety profile of tranexamic acid was very good in this trial. This publication was rapidly followed by editorials in major anesthesia journals, calling for "safe surgery" with a systematic use of tranexamic acid in the population studied in the POISE-3 trial. A literature review was done with a formal presentation at Erasme University Hospital, again with the call for a systematic use in appropriate patients. In this study, the adherence to these recommendations will be tested. All patients operated between october 1st 2022 and december 31 st 2022 will be included. For every patient, it will be determined if this patient should have received tranexamic acid according to the results of the POISE-3 trial and wether this patient really did get tranexamic acid. Primary endpoint will be the percentage (%) of patients correctly treated according to the POISE-3 recommendations. A second primary endpoint will be the comparison with patients operated between October 1st 2021 and december 31st 2021; that means before the publication of the recommendations. The difference between both populations will be tested with a Chi-square test. Secondary outcomes wil be bleeding and transfusion in the correctly treated population compared with an eventually not correctly treated population.
Background. Consensus is lacking regarding the use of tranexamic acid (TXA) in calcaneal fracture surgery. This study aims to investigate the hypothesis that local infiltration of TXA in the post-operation would maintain hemoglobin (Hb) level, reduce incision drainage volume and risk of infection in patients with displaced intra-articular calcaneal fractures. Methods. A total of 120 patients with displaced intra-articular calcaneal fractures who received extensible lateral L-shaped approach were included in this trial and equally randomized to receive one single dose of 1g TXA or 1g normal saline after closing incision. The demographic data and fracture characteristics, intra-operative indicators, laboratory tests and Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) scores, incision drainage volume, and incision-related complications were collected and compared between the two groups.
