Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

This study seeks to answer the question: Does a single pre-operative dose of tranexamic acid have a statistically significant reduction in blood loss during orthognathic surgery?

If it does, this drug may begin to be used routinely during orthognathic surgery to reduce blood loss in our patients.

Study Design

Understand how the trial is structured, including allocation methods, masking strategies, primary purpose, and other design elements.

Allocation Method

RANDOMIZED

Intervention Model

PARALLEL

In this study, patients will be randomized into two groups: and intervention group and placebo. The intervention group will receive a single pre-operative dose of TXA IV (10mg/kg) and the placebo group will receive the same volume of fluid intravenously.
Primary Study Purpose

TREATMENT

Blinding Strategy

SINGLE

Participants
The patient will be unaware of which group they have been randomized into

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Intervention TXA

patients receiving TXA10mg/kg IV pre-operatively

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Tranexamic Acid Injectable Solution

Intervention Type DRUG

the drug will be given to patients intravenously at a dose of 10mg/kg pre-operatively after induction on general anesthesia

Placebo

patients will receive an equivalent amount of normal saline 0.9% IV pre-operatively

Group Type PLACEBO_COMPARATOR

Placebo (normal saline 0.9%)

Intervention Type OTHER

An equivalent amount of normal saline (0.9%) will be given to the patient pre-operatively after induction of general anesthesia. The amount of saline given will correspond to the same amount of fluid which would have been given had the patient been in the intervention group.
