Descriptive Information
Brief Title  ICMJE Study Of Tranexamic Acid For The Reduction Of Blood Loss In Patients Undergoing Surgery For Long Bone Fracture
Official Title  ICMJE Prospective Randomized Phase IV Open Label Comparative Study Of Tranexamic Acid Plus Standard Of Care Versus Standard Of Care For The Reduction Of Blood Loss In Patients Undergoing Surgery For Long Bone Fracture
Brief Summary Tranexamic acid has been shown to reduce postoperative blood losses and transfusion requirements in a number of types of surgery. Most trials in orthopedic surgery have been conducted in arthroplasty, hip fracture and spine surgeries. This study would aim to see the effect of tranexamic acid in reduction of blood loss and transfusions for long bone fracture surgery, primarily fracture shaft of femur.
