Interventions
At 20 minutes preoperatively, TXA of 20 mg/kg was administered in Z Solution (500•0 ml normal saline containing a prophylactic antibiotic 1•0 g).
Intraoperatively immediately following delivery of the fetus the uterus was been externalized in the usual fashion, and the body of the uterus cephalad to the hysterotomy incision was been wrapped in sterile surgical towels saturated in sterile and iced normal saline. These towels came from a sterile cooling pot set to 30 degrees Fahrenheit. Iced saline-soaked towels was been kept in place for a minimum of 5 minutes and replaced at the discretion of the attending obstetrician until the hysterotomy is closed and the uterus is replaced into the patient's abdomen.
