Brief Summary
Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.
Primary Objectives
1. Determine that patients given intravenous tranexamic acid improves surgeon-rated visualization compared to placebo.
2. Determine that intravenous tranexamic acid is a safe alternative to epinephrine mixed irrigation fluid to improve arthroscopic shoulder visualization

Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
A variety of methods have been employed to improve visualization. This includes tighter control of blood pressure, regional anesthetic, pressure controlled irrigation system, sealed cannulas, electrocautery devices, and injecting epinephrine into irrigation fluid. The use of epinephrine in irrigation fluid has been studied in literature. The results of a few randomized controlled trials demonstrate that the vasoconstrictive properties of epinephrine decrease blood flow and consequently, improves surgeon visualization. However, there has been reports of ventricular tachycardia, lethal arrhythmias, and epinephrine induced pulmonary edema in literature that suggests that the addition of epinephrine in irrigation fluid may have caused these adverse events. Therefore, it is important to examine other alternatives, such as TXA, that can decrease bleeding and improve visualization without potential detrimental effects.
This trial will be conducted in compliance with the protocol, GCP, and the applicable regulatory requirements.
