A systematic review of the effectiveness of intravenous tranexamic acid administration in managing perioperative blood loss in patients undergoing spine surgery.
Journal of Perianesthesia Nursing : Official Journal of the American Society of PeriAnesthesia Nurses 2014 December
This systematic review aimed to identify the effectiveness of intravenous tranexamic acid (TXA) administration in managing perioperative blood loss in patients undergoing spine surgery. The study design was a systematic review and meta-analysis. Quantitative articles were pooled in a statistical meta-analysis using the Joanna Briggs Institute Meta-Analysis of Statistical Assessment and Review Instrument. Twelve studies totaling 934 participants carried out between 1960 and 2013 were included in the review. Intraoperative blood loss showed statistically significant (P < .0001) blood loss in the control group compared with that in the treatment group. Perioperative blood loss was approaching significance for blood loss in the control group with an overall P = .067. TXA helps reduce perioperative blood loss for patients undergoing spine surgery. TXA should be administered to patients undergoing spine surgery when significant blood loss is anticipated.
