Trial Outcomes & Findings for Use of Topical Tranexamic Acid and Bacitracin in Dialysis Patients (NCT NCT02106962)

NCT ID: NCT02106962

Last Updated: 2017-09-25

Results Overview

After completing dialysis, the clotting time of the arteriovenous fistula of each participant was measured, using either Tranexamic Acid 5% or Tranexamic Acid 25% and compared to the regular clotting time of the AV Fistula without using the Tranexamic Acid

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: 13 minutes

After completing dialysis, the clotting time of the arteriovenous fistula of each participant was measured, using either Tranexamic Acid 5% or Tranexamic Acid 25% and compared to the regular clotting time of the AV Fistula without using the Tranexamic Acid

Outcome measures

Measure
Clotting Time Using Tranexamic Acid 5%
n=9 Participants
Measure Native AV Fistula clotting time after dialysis using 5% Tranexamic Acid compared to normal Clotting time of Native AV Fistula after dialysis Topical Tranexamic Acid 5% with bacitracin: Selected participants received a fixed amount of tranexamic acid 5 %and bacitracin applied with compression up to 3 times (13 minutes total) per hemodialysis fistula needle site.
Clotting Time Using Tranexamic Acid 25%
n=8 Participants
Measure Native AV Fistula clotting time after dialysis using 25% Tranxemic Acid compared to normal clotting time of native AV Fistula after dialysis Topical Tranexamic Acid 25% with bacitracin: Selected participants received a fixed amount of tranexamic acid 25%and bacitracin applied with compression up to 3 times (13 minutes total) per hemodialysis fistula needle site.
