Application of thrombelastography (TEG) for safety evaluation of tranexamic acid in primary total joint arthroplasty

摘要

BackgroundQuestions remain, mainly concerning whether tranexamic acid (TXA) is truly safe since all available trials were underpowered to identify clinically important differences. The objective of this study is to evaluate the safety of TXA by using a novel technique—thromboelastography (TEG).
