研究概要

Seventy four patients undergoing operative management for a hip fracture were randomized to receive intraoperative topical tranexamic acid (TXA) (n=31) or a placebo (n=34). Outcomes of interest were postoperative hemoglobin levels, transfusion rates and adverse events. The TXA group demonstrated significantly higher hemoglobin levels on postoperative days 1 and 2. When excluding intraoperative transfusions, no differences in postoperative transfusions were found between the two groups. No differences in adverse events were found between groups.
