Clinical Trial Summary

This is a randomized control, double-blind study in which women who are about to go an elective vaginal hysterectomy are offered to participate.

Patients will be randomly assigned to one of two groups: the tranexamic acid group, in which 1 gram of tranexamic acid (Hexakapron) is administered intravenously before surgery, and the control group, in which patients will receive 10 ml of normal saline 0.9% intravenously.

A nurse will prepare the solution according to the randomization and will handle it to the anesthesiologist.

Outcome

Type	Measure	Description	Time frame	Safety issue
Primary	Mean objective assessment of blood loss	Objective assessment of blood loss is calculated by subtraction the weight of used pads after the surgery from the preoperative weight (blood lost during surgery will be absorbed by pads only, without using suction); 1 g of absorbed fluid will be converted to 1 mL of blood.	Immediately after surgery
Secondary	Mean subjective blood loss (SBL)	SBL will be estimated by the senior surgeon.	Immediately after surgery
Secondary	Mean difference in hemoglobin levels before and after surgery	Preoperative and postoperative hemoglobin level difference	One day after surgery
Secondary	The number of patients who need blood products transfusion	The need of blood transfusion or other blood products in order to treat excessive blood loss	30 days after surgery
Secondary	The size of pelvic hematoma after surgery	Postoperative pelvic hematoma, diagnosed and measured by ultrasound	One day after surgery
