Abstract

Aim: to study the role of Tranexamic Acid in Controlling Blood Loss In orthopaedic surgeries.

Material & Methods: 50 patients were included in the study during the study period. Patients were randomly allotted to 2 groups of equal participants. The first group (Group A) received Tranexamic Acid. The second group (Group B) was given Normal saline as placebo. The Total Blood Loss ( intra operative + post operative ) and Fall in Haemoglobin levels were measured post-operatively at 24 and 72 hrs of post-operative period.

Result: The group A had showed significantly reduced total blood loss and fall in Haemoglobin, thus, requiring fewer blood transfusions. No complications were observed.

Conclusions: the present investigation concluded that Tranexamic acid can be effective in reducing blood loss and subsequent fall in haemoglobin.
