Weighted Versus Uniform Dose of Tranexamic Acid in Patients Undergoing Primary, Knee Arthroplasty, a Randomized-clinical Trial.
In Brief
A Phase 3 clinical trial evaluating Tranexamic Acid standard dose, Females Tranexamic Acid weighted dose, and 2 other interventions for Osteoarthritis and Intraoperative Bleeding. Completed, enrolled 65 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
Hypotheses: Primary - A weighted dose of 20 mg/kg of tranexamic acid will be more efficacious than a single uniform dose of 1 gram in primary total knee arthroplasty (TKA) cases. This includes having a greater impact on decreasing blood loss without increasing the occurrence of adverse thromboembolic events in patients undergoing primary, elective total knee arthroplasty. Secondary - TA will decrease blood loss more effectively in women than in men undergoing this procedure.
