Intravenous Tranexamic Acid Reducing Intraoperative Blood Loss in Huge Meningiomas Resection
Study Details
Study Description
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.

Active Comparator: Continous infusion group Infusion with 20mg/kg tranexamic acid and 5mg/kg/h tranexamic acid. |
Drug: Continous infusion
The 20mg/kg tranexamic acid will be diluted into a 50ml syringe and infused followed by 5mg/kg/h tranexamic acid infusion.
|
Active Comparator: Single infusion group Infusion with 20mg/kg tranexamic acid and same volume 0.9% saline. |
Drug: Single infusion
The 20mg/kg tranexamic acid will be diluted into a 50ml syringe and infused followed by same volume of 0.9% saline.
|
Placebo Comparator: Placebo group Infusion with same volume of 0.9% saline. |
Drug: Placebo
The 0.9% saline is administered with the same volume at the same speed as the other group.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- Estimated intra-operative blood loss [During surgery]
Estimated intra-operative blood loss is assessed as following formula:Estimated intraoperative blood loss = volume in suction canisters -weight of blood-soaked sponges -drapes-volume of wash fluid
