Tranexamic acid for high-risk obese patients having surgery
Part of Blood & lymphatic, Digestive system clinical trials.
This trial tests whether a medicine called tranexamic acid can safely reduce bleeding during surgery in very obese patients who also have other health conditions. If you are scheduled for surgery and meet the criteria, this could help prevent excessive blood loss.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
