Oral vs. Intravenous TXA Study Proposal: TJA
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Oral Tranexamic Acid and Intravenous Tranexamic Acid for Blood Loss After Primary Total Joint Arthroplasty and Need for Blood Transfusion After Total Joint Arthroplasty. Completed, enrolled 167 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
Purpose: Examine oral and intravenous Tranexamic Acid (TXA) to determine whether or not the different routes of drug administration are equivalent in terms of post-operative reduction in hemoglobin, number of transfusions, and post-operative blood loss following TJA surgery. Hypothesis: Oral and intravenous TXA are equivalent routes of drug administration.
