Placebo Comparator
Tranexamic Acid (TXA)
Placebo (0.9% normal saline)
Hypotension-avoidance strategy
Perioperative hypertension-avoidance strategy
Patients will receive a 1g loading dose of intravenous TXA before surgery and a 1g loading dose of intravenous TXA at the end of surgery (wound closure).
Patients will receive a 1g loading dose of placebo (0.9% normal saline) before surgery and a 1g loading dose of placebo (0.9% normal saline) at the end of surgery (wound closure).
Aims to avoid hypotension before surgery (preoperative), during surgery (intraoperative) and for the first 2 days after the day of surgery (postoperative).
Aims to avoid hypertension before surgery (preoperative), during surgery (intraoperative) and for the first 2 days after the day of surgery (postoperative).
