Randomized Controlled Trial Comparative Study
Effect of tranexamic acid on reducing postoperative blood loss in combined hypotensive epidural anesthesia and general anesthesia for total hip replacement.
To determine whether the use of tranexamic acid in the setting of hypotension induced by hypotensive epidural anesthesia (HEA) has any additional beneficial effects in reducing perioperative blood loss and transfusion requirements in total hip replacement. ⋯ Administration of tranexamic acid combined with hypotensive epidural anesthesia reduced postoperative and total accumulative blood loss and transfusion requirements more than did hypotensive epidural anesthesia alone.
