Evaluate The Role of Tranexamic Acid In Joint Replacement Surgeries
Journal Title: IOSR Journal of Dental and Medical Sciences (IOSR-JDMS) - Year 2017, Vol 16, Issue 5
Abstract
Background: Joint replacement surgeries are associated with major blood loss intra-operatively as well as post-operatively to the tune of 700 to 2100 ml. Thus generating a need for blood conservation modalities. Material: Double blinded case control study was done for 78 patients undergoing joint replacement surgeries out of which 37 were in experimental group and 41 in control. Results: We found a significant reduction in experimental group to an average of 150ml for Hemiarthroplasty, 200ml for Total Hip Replacement and 300ml for Total Knee Replacement. Summary: Tranexamic Acid is a safe, efficient and a cost effective drug to control intra-operative as well as post-operative blood loss.
