Trial Outcomes

Blood Loss

"To compare the estimated blood loss in patients undergoing complex, reconstructive, spinal fusion surgeries receiving one of two dosing protocols for the anti-fibrinolytic, TXA.~Estimated blood loss was calculated by suction canister volume minus intraoperative irrigation fluid plus blood content in sponges as estimated by weight for all cases." (NCT02053363)
Timeframe: This outcome is measured during surgery, from exposure to wound closure, approximately 8 hours.

Number of Patients Sustaining Intraoperative or 90 Day Complications

To compare the rates of intraoperative complications and 90 day complications observed in the two groups. (NCT02053363)
Timeframe: Perioperative complications were defined as complications occurring within 90 days of surgery.

Red Blood Cell Transfusions

To compare the mean volume (mL) of packed red blood cell (PRBC) transfusions given to the two groups. Volumes of RBC vary from bag to bag and real volumes will be recorded as provided by the blood bank. (NCT02053363)
Timeframe: Participants will be followed for the duration of their hospital stay measured from day of surgery to day of discharge from the hospital, approximately 7 days.
