Intraoperative blood loss was reduced in the group given tranexamic acid
preoperatively (mean loss 489.07± 279.248 ml) v/s the control group
(mean loss 539.93 ± 211.08ml) (p<0.05). This result was
particularly significant in the subjects who underwent vaginal
hysterectomy (mean loss 364.58 ± 108.53ml in Group II v/s 278.91 ±
118.34ml in Group I; p<0.05). The incidence of transfusion of
blood or blood products intraoperative to postoperative day seven was
significantly reduced in the tranexamic acid group (0.47 vs. 0.23,P = .02).
