NCT01221909

Brief Summary

Single dose tranexamic acid (TA) before dacryocystorhinostomy (DCR) operation: a prospective, double blind, placebo controlled study. The study hypothesis: TA in DCR might reduce the intraoperative and postoperative bleeding in DCR surgery, and might reduce the duration of the surgery.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Duration of DCR surgery in minutes and amount of blood loss in milliliters during surgery.

    Blood loss will be measured at the end of DCR operation from the suction bowel. Duration of surgery will be caculated by registering time of operation start and end.

Secondary Outcomes (1)

  • Late onset postoperative epistaxis or periorbital hematoma

    8 days

Study Arms (2)

Tranexamic acid single dose of 500mg

EXPERIMENTAL
Drug: Tranexamic acid

Saline

PLACEBO COMPARATOR
Drug: saline solution

Interventions

Single dose TA 500mg or placebo will be given in DCR surgery right after the first surgical incision.

Tranexamic acid single dose of 500mg

5cc saline solution
