Review Meta AnalysisEfficiency of tranexamic acid in perioperative blood loss in hip arthroplasty: a systematic literature review and meta-analysis.
Tranexamic acid (TXA) is an antifibrinolytic drug used to reduce bleeding in mortality risk situations such as trauma. Our objective was to conduct a systematic literature review to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of TXA in reducing bleeding in hip arthroplasty. ⋯ TXA can be routinely used to reduce intra- and post-operative blood loss in primary hip arthroplasty.
