The Use of Tranexamic Acid in Irrigation Fluid to Improve Arthroscopic Visualization in Shoulder Surgery: A Randomized Controlled Trial
In Brief
A Phase 4 clinical trial evaluating Epinephrine, Tranexamic acid, and 1 other intervention for Rotator Cuff Injuries and 3 related conditions. Completed, enrolled 128 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
The purpose of this study is to determine if intravenous TXA is a safe alternative to epinephrine in improving arthroscopic shoulder visualization. Primary Objectives 1. Determine that patients given intravenous tranexamic acid improves surgeon-rated visualization compared to placebo. 2. Determine that intravenous tranexamic acid is a safe alternative to epinephrine mixed irrigation fluid to improve arthroscopic shoulder visualization
