Brief Summary

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

Bleeding after thoracic surgery is a major cause of perioperative hemodynamic instability and transfusion requirement, which can lead to a rise of morbidity, mortality and costs.

The objective of this study is to evaluate the efficiency of tranexamic acid (TA) in the prevention of perioperative bleeding in thoracic hemorrhagic surgery.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

It's a randomized, double-blind, prospective study including patients over the age of 18 years old, programmed for potentially hemorrhagic thoracic surgery, such as pulmonary resection for aspergilloma, pulmonary tuberculosis, pleural decortication, lobectomy with parietectomy or redux. Demographic, clinical, biological data as well as transfusion requirements, blood loss and perioperative complications were identified.

Two groups of patients:

* TA group: receiving tranexamic acid (25mg/kg) in bolus at induction followed by 2mg/kg/h in continuous infusion until the end of the act.
* Serum saline isotonic (SSI) group: placebo with isotonic saline serum.
