Determining the effect of tranexamic acid injection with oxytocin versus oxytocin alone before elective cesarean section in preventing intraoperative and postoperative hemorrhage
-
Design
-
Clinical trial with control group, with parallel groups, double-blind, randomized, phase 2 per 200 patients. Excel software rand function was used for randomization.
-

Intervention groups
-
In the intervention group, 20 minutes before the operation and incision of the skin, 1 gram of tranexamic acid diluted in 20 cc of 5% extrusion is injected intravenously. In the control group, placebo is used in 20 cc of 5% dextrose. Both groups after the umbilical cord clamp will receive 30 units of oxytocin in 500 cc of Ringer serum intravenously.
-
Main outcome variables
-
Reduce post partum hemorrhage and the need for blood transfusions after cesarean section by preoperative injection of tranexamic acid
