aminocaproic acid and Blood Loss, Postoperative

aminocaproic acid has been researched along with Blood Loss, Postoperative in 72 studies

Aminocaproic Acid: An antifibrinolytic agent that acts by inhibiting plasminogen activators which have fibrinolytic properties.
6-aminohexanoic acid : An epsilon-amino acid comprising hexanoic acid carrying an amino substituent at position C-6. Used to control postoperative bleeding, and to treat overdose effects of the thrombolytic agents streptokinase and tissue plasminogen activator.

Blood Loss Volume Following Surgery

Blood loss following surgery was defined as the total amount of fluid collected from the drain in the wound site during the hospital stay. (NCT02063035)
Timeframe: From end of surgery on Day 1 to end of hospital stay up to approximately 5 days

InterventionmL (Median)
Tranexamic Acid534

Change in Hemoglobin Level From Preoperative Appointment to Postoperative Hospital Discharge

Blood loss was calculated from the difference between the level of hemoglobin at the preoperative appointment and the lowest level during the postoperative hospitalization period. Reported here is the change in hemoglobin level after surgery. A negative number indicates a reduction in hemoglobin level. (NCT02063035)
