NCT01408823

Brief Summary

This study will evaluate the pharmacokinetics of antifibrinolytic drug epsilon-aminocaproic acid (EACA) in children undergoing Posterior spinal fusion surgery (PSF) at The Children's Hospital of Philadelphia (CHOP) who receive EACA at the standard dose reported in the literature for this population and currently in use at CHOP.
