Study Arms (2)
placebo
PLACEBO COMPARATORNormal saline will be administered intravenously in two doses of 15 mg/kg each administered over a period of ten minutes, one dose just prior to incision and the second at initiation of wound closure.
tranexamic acid
ACTIVE COMPARATORTranexamic acid will be administered intravenously in two doses of 15 mg/kg each administered over a period of ten minutes, one dose just prior to incision and the second at initiation of wound closure.
Interventions
Tranexamic acid will be administered intravenously in two doses of 15 mg/kg. Each dose will be administered over a period of ten minutes, one dose just prior to incision and the second at initiation of wound closure.
A similar dose of 0.9% sodium chloride (NaCL) will be administered intravenously in two doses over a ten minute period, one dose at incision and the other at initiation of wound closure.
