5. Study Description

Brief Summary
This is a prospective, randomized, double-blind study investigating whether intravenous tranexamic acid has any effect on rhytidectomy surgery, or the subsequent postoperative sequelae. Intraoperative bleeding and postoperative ecchymosis and edema are subjectively rated and complications are noted.
Detailed Description
This is a prospective, randomized, double-blind pilot study investigating whether intravenous tranexamic acid has any effect on rhytidectomy surgery, or the subsequent postoperative sequelae. Intraoperative bleeding is rated on a scale of mild, moderate, or severe and given a score of 1-3. Postoperative ecchymosis and edema are subjectively rated by both patient and surgeon on postoperative days 1, 6, and 9 using a similar mild/moderate/severe scale and scored 1-3, respectively. Any surgical or postoperative complications are noted. Scores are aggregated for statistical analysis.
