Abstract

This is a prospective randomized control which studies intravenous tranexamic acid administration and its role in minimizing blood loss in caesarean delivery. The study was carried out in the department of obstetrics and gynecology (inpatient only) of Central Hospital, South Eastern Railways, Kolkata from August 2018 to August 2020. The patients were selected randomly and assigned into two groups to receive either tranexamic acid or placebo i.e. Normal Saline. The study concluded that prophylactic use of tranexamic acid significantly reduces the amount of blood loss during and after lower segment caesarean section.
