Randomization (investigator's opinion)
Randomized
Randomization description
For this purpose, the block randomization method of 50 blocks will be used. In this block, each cells contains the letters RA-LB (meaning the right hand of drug A and the left hand of drug B) or RB-LA (the right hand of drug B). and the left hand of drug A) which are randomly distributed. With the referral of each of the qualified patients, one of the houses is randomly selected and according to whether it is RA-LB or RB-LA. Right and left hand medicine type will be selected. And the selected cell will be crossed with a red pen in order not to be selected again. Codes A and B (normal saline or tranexamic acid) will be revealed at the end of the study and after the analysis.
Blinding (investigator's opinion)
Triple blinded
Blinding description
Transgamic acid and normal saline will be drawn in syringes of the same color and shape with codes A and B by the operating room technician, and the codes will remain secret with this person until the end of the research. Therefore, the patient, the surgeon who will measure and record the outcome of the study, and the statistical consultant will will be blind about the contents of the syringe used, and the study will be performed in a triple blind manner.
