Prospective Trial of Tranexamic Acid in Cardiac Surgery

January 29, 2016 updated by: Hongwen Ji

A Randomized Double-blinded Trial to Explore the Optimum Dose of Tranexamic Acid in Cardiopulmonary Bypass Cardiac Surgery

Tranexamic acid, an antifibrinolytic drug, is wildly used in cardiac surgeries to decrease perioperative bleeding and allogenic transfusion. But the optimum dose of tranexamic acid is still unknown. We use three different doses to find which is the optimum dose of tranexamic acid in cardiopulmonary bypass cardiac surgery.
