Brief Summary
Intra-operative blood loss of huge meningioma resection patients on average was over 1000ml. Intra-operative massive hemorrhage was associated with longer hospital of stay, higher expense, and higher mortality. Previous studies indicated intra-operative tranexamic acid infusion would decrease blood loss for cardiac, trauma and obstetric procedures. However, limited researches focusing on the effect of tranexamic acid in neurosurgery population, with heterogenous pathologies. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of tranexamic acid on intra-operative blood loss in patients undergoing huge meningioma resection.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (1)
Estimated intra-operative blood loss
Estimated intra-operative blood loss is assessed as following formula:collected blood volume in the suction canister (mL) - the volume of flushing (mL) + the volume from gauze tampon (mL).
During surgery
Study Arms (3)
Continous infusion group
ACTIVE COMPARATORInfusion with 20mg/kg tranexamic acid and 5mg/kg/h tranexamic acid.
Single infusion group
ACTIVE COMPARATORInfusion with 20mg/kg tranexamic acid and same volume 0.9% saline.
Placebo group
PLACEBO COMPARATORInfusion with same volume of 0.9% saline.
Interventions
The 20mg/kg tranexamic acid will be diluted into a 50ml syringe and infused followed by 5mg/kg/h tranexamic acid infusion.
The 20mg/kg tranexamic acid will be diluted into a 50ml syringe and infused followed by same volume of 0.9% saline.
The 0.9% saline is administered with the same volume at the same speed as the other group.
