Protocol summary

Study aim
Comparison of the effect of tranexamic acid and dexmedetomidine on the amount of bleeding in posterior spinal fusion surgery
Design
A randomized clinical trial with parallel groups, double-blind, phase 3 on 90 patients. Random allocation of samples to study groups is performed by block randomization method and by using sas 9.4 software.
Settings and conduct
This double-blind clinical trial study will be performed on 90 patients undergoing spinal posterior fusion surgery (in intervention group 1 and intervention 2) in Ayatollah Mousavi Hospital in Zanjan. Random allocation of samples is done by block method and using statistical software. The Boazaart scale will be used to measure the amount of bleeding during the surgery.

Randomization (investigator's opinion)
Randomized
Randomization description
At first, the samples enter the study in a convenience method. Then, the samples are assigned to two interventions groups 1 and 2 based on random blocks with a size of 4. Random blocks are created based on the PROC PLAN program and in SAS 9.4 software. In order to be able to match samples in terms of age and gender in each group, after the available samples are identified, samples are divided according to age and gender groups and identified in each group. Random allocation will be based on groups. The groups will be divided into two groups based on the cut-off point of 50 years: over 50 years old and under 50 years old, and in terms of gender, they will be divided into two groups, male and female.
Blinding (investigator's opinion)
Double blinded
Blinding description
Patients know that they are participating in a study that aims to evaluate the effect of tranexamic acid and dexmedetomidine on reducing intraoperative bleeding but are unaware that they are receiving tranexamic acid and dexmedetomidine. The drugs are similar in color and appearance, prepared in syringes, and coded. The anesthesiologist who injects the drug is not aware of the medication that patients receive.
