About this study

Official title: Thromboelastogram During Surgery for Total Knee Replacement With Tourniquet Application and Single Dose Tranexamic Acid

Verify the changes in coagulation system during total knee replacement surgery with tranexamic acid single bolus infusion.

Read the detailed description

The study was set to reveal changes in the coagulation and fibrinolytic systems during total knee surgery and especially during tourniquet placement, tourniquet removal and revascularization of ischemic limb, after tranexamic acid single bolus infusion, and at post operative day 1.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Change in coagulation status during and after surgery compared to pre-surgery

    Measured: During and after surgery compared to pre-surgery

  2. Change in fibrinolytic activity during and after surgery compared to pre-surgery

    Measured: During and after surgery compared to pre-surgery
