Active Comparator

Arm Label

Topical Tranexamic Acid/Placebo

Intravenous Tranexamic Acid/Placebo

Arm Description

Topical Tranexamic Acid 5g to 10g (50 to 100mL) or placebo. The topical will be poured into the pericardial and mediastinal cavities after protamine administration.

Intravenous Tranexamic Acid 1 to 10g (10 to 100mL) or placebo administered intravenously at the induction of anesthesia as a bolus-infusion.

Outcomes

Primary Outcome Measures

The proportion of patients experiencing an in-hospital seizure
To determine in patients undergoing on-pump cardiac surgery, if topical tranexamic acid (intra-pericardial) is superior to the usual intravenous tranexamic acid administration for reducing the risk of in-hospital seizure.

Secondary Outcome Measures

The proportion of patients in-hospital who receive red blood cell transfusions
To determine in patients undergoing on-pump cardiac surgery, if topical tranexamic acid (intra-pericardial) compared with intravenous tranexamic acid administration is associated with a non-inferior risk of in-hospital red blood cell transfusion.

5. Study Description

Brief Summary
The aim is to conduct a double-dummy multi-centre randomized controlled clinical trial of application of topical dose of tranexamic acid (TxA) versus the usual intravenous TxA in patients undergoing on-pump cardiac surgery.
Detailed Description
Postoperative bleeding related to open cardiac surgery increases the rates of complications and mortality. It results from the blood thinners that are needed for use. Intravenous tranexamic acid (TxA) has become a mainstay in cardiac surgical procedures for decreasing bleeding and minimizing transfusion requirements. Although intravenous TxA is usually well tolerated, there is a well-known risk (1 to 4%) of postoperative seizures. This is due to the similarity between TxA and the brain tissues. The aim is to eliminate the risk of seizures but to maintain the protection against bleeding. When TxA is used directly on the tissues (topically) for other type of surgeries (joints), TxA is effective to reduce blood loss and transfusions. The aim is to prove that direct application of TxA on the heart can eliminate postoperative seizures and reduce the amount of blood transfusions in patients who have cardiac surgery.

Masking Description
The pharmacy will prepare 2 syringes of 50 ml of topical TxA (5 g) or placebo. They will also prepare for the same patient 2 syringes of 50 ml (5 g) for intravenous (i.v.) injection or placebo. TxA is similar in all aspects to normal saline. Blinding of both teams will be easy. The syringes will be prepared and randomized in pharmacy before the surgery.
