Intravenous Tranexamic Acid
Patients will receive 1g tranexamic acid in 100mL solution intravenously in the operating room before inflation of the tourniquet. They will again receive the same IV solution in the post-anesthesia care unit, approximately 3 hours after the first solution was given. They will also receive a 75cc topical saline solution approximately 5 minutes before the tourniquet is released.

Topical Tranexamic Acid
Patients will receive 3g tranexamic acid in 75mL solution topically in the operating room, approximately 5 minutes before the tourniquet is released. It will sit for 5 minutes before the solution is suctioned off by the surgeon. They will also receive 2 intravenous saline solutions: one in the operating room before inflation of the tourniquet, and one in the post-anesthesia care unit 3 hours after the first solution was given.

PRIMARY outcome
Timeframe: 4 hours after tourniquet releasePopulation: A wound drain was not inserted in all patients - hence why wound blood was not able to be collected 4 hours post tourniquet release.
Levels of PAP will be measured in peripheral blood and wound drainage at 4 hours after tourniquet release.

Timeframe: 4 hours after tourniquet releasePopulation: Some patients did not get a contavac drain put in hence the discrepancy in analysis population description.
A wound drain is connected to a Constavac system, which postoperatively collects, filters, and allows for reinfusion of the patient's own blood. Shed blood passes through an internal prefilter and is collected in a reservoir.

It will sit for 5 minutes before the solution is suctioned off by the surgeon. They will also receive 2 intravenous saline solutions: one in the operating room before inflation of the tourniquet, and one in the post-anesthesia care unit 3 hours after the first solution was given.
