5. Study Description

Brief Summary
The use of antifibrinolytic agents such as to reduce blood loss in congenital cardiac surgery has been described in many studies
Detailed Description
40 patients in each one of the three groups; In control group will receive normal saline, Intravenous Tranexamic acid group received 50 mg / kg intravenousely followed by of 1 mg/kg/hr.for six hours. The topical Tranexamic acid group will have 50 mg / kg of tranexamic poured into the pericoredial cavity. in the first 24 hours we will measure the total blood loss and transfusion requirements. Complate blood picture and coagulation studies will be recorded. the occurrence of re-exploration for excess bleeding, or adverse events.
