Intervention/exposure
Study type
Interventional
Description of intervention(s) / exposure
Treatment: Drugs - Tranexamic Acid 100Mg/ml Inj Vial 10ml
Treatment: Drugs - Placebo

Active comparator: Tranexamic Acid - 12 mg/kg, before surgical incision, and then an infusion of 3 mg/kg/h until the end of surgery.

Placebo comparator: Placebo - 12 mg/kg, before surgical incision, and then an infusion of 3 mg/kg/h until the end of surgery.


Treatment: Drugs: Tranexamic Acid 100Mg/ml Inj Vial 10ml
Intervention is from the Tranexamic acid to Reduce Infection after Gastrointestinal Surgery: the TRIGS Trial. A multicentre, pragmatic, double-blind, randomised clinical trial will compare the incidence of surgical site infection and red cell transfusion requirements after IV tranexamic acid and placebo in patients undergoing gastrointestinal surgery
