Brief Summary

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

In this study, our aim is to investigate the role of tranexamic acid for modulating the inflammation in patients with traumatic brain injury (TBI).

Detailed Description

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

This is double-blind trial, where group T will be received TXA, where group C will be received saline placebo.

In emergency room (ER), trauma patients will be assessed and managed according to our local hospital protocol. After the initial resuscitation of patients. The selection was done according to the inclusion criteria. Baseline investigations

1. C-reactive protein (CRP), interleukin -6(IL-6), C-reactive protein/Albumin ratio (CAR), complete blood count (CBC) for neutrophil lymphocyte ratio (NLR), platelet lymphocyte ratio (PLR).
2. Prothrombin concentration (PC), prothrombin time (PT), activated partial thromboplastin time (aPTT), and INR.

Group T, will be received TXA (loading dose of 1gm of TXA, followed by a 1gm of maintenance dose over 8 hours for 48 h). Group C, will be received saline (loading dose of 1gm of saline 0.9%, followed by a 1gm of maintenance saline dose over 8 hours for 48 h) to monitor the post-interventional inflammatory response (CBC for NLR, PLR), CRP, IL-6, C-reactive protein/Albumin ratio (CAR), hemostasis (PC, PT, activated PTT, and international normalized ratio (INR)) and short-term outcome. Conscious level will be assessed by Glasgow come scale (GCS), delirium by Richmond Agitation-Sedation Scale (RASS score) and hemodynamics will be continuously monitored. Patients will be monitored and managed in intermediate or intensive care unit. Adverse effects and complications will be recorded and managed.
