Journal Title: Medpulse International Journal of Anesthesiology - Year 2018, Vol 6, Issue 1
Abstract
In our trauma care centre we receive around 2000 cases per month ranging from Polytrauma, Faciomaxillary injury, Both bone fracture Upper limb, Lower limb, Vascular trauma, Abdominal injuries of patients of variable age groups. Methods: 30 patients of each group were chosen with the various trauma mentioned above. We started the Randomised Prospective Comparative Clinical study with Tranexamic acid 1 gram Intra Venously in 100 ml of Normal saline within 30 minutes of the arrival at trauma ward. The other group had 100 ml of Normal Saline. The case chosen were between 20 to 60 years of age both male and female. Inj. Tranexamic acid group Vs control group were chosen with similar condition like Right facial trauma Vs Left facial trauma. Conclusion: We conclude that infusion of Tranexamic acid reduces intraoperative blood loss (P = 0.003).
