The current study aimed to assess the effect of Tranexamic Acid on reducing blood loss and the need for blood transfusion during and after surgery.Methods: Assessed patients with concher femoral insertion surgery were randomly divided to intervention and control groups. After anesthesia, the intervention group received Tranexamic Acid (10 mg/kg) 15 minutes before infusion. The infusion was performed at a rate of 1 mg/kg/hr until the end of surgery. In the control group, equal volumes of normal saline were used.Results: The mean blood loss during surgery was 1081.67±298.70 cc in the placebo group; and was 557.00±00.76 cc in the intervention group. The mean blood loss during surgery was significantly higher in the placebo group than in the intervention group (P<0.001). The mean blood loss after surgery was 427±000.7032 in the placebo group, and was 249.67±66.37 in the control group (P<0.001). Blood transfusion, during and after surgery was significantly different between the two groups (P<0.001).Conclusion: Single dose Tranexamic Acid (10 mg/kg) 15 minutes before the infusion to patients scheduled for femoral fracture surgery can reduce blood loss and the need for blood transfusion during and after surgery. %U https://www.traumamon.com/article_141960_190b0ef1b52b66be0669651a741b4f63.pdf
