Brief Summary

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

Objectives: To evaluate the efficacy of topical tranexamic acid applied on the placental bed after placental delivery to reduce blood loss during cesarean delivery in women with placenta previa.

Patients will be randomly assigned into two groups:

Group (A) - Study group (n=28): The topical tranexamic acid group will receive topical tranexamic acid after placental delivery applied on the placental bed for 5 minutes by using a sterile towel soaked with 2g tranexamic acid (Kapron, Amoun, Cairo, Egypt) (4 ampules 500ug) diluted in 100ml of sodium chloride 0.9%, in addition to the IV infusion of 1g tranexamic acid (2 ampules 500ug) diluted with 20ml of 5% glucose administered just after delivery of the fetus.

Group (B) - Control group (n=28): The intravenous tranexamic acid group will receive only an IV infusion of 1g of tranexamic acid (2 ampules 500ug) diluted with 20 ml of 5% glucose administered just after delivery of the fetus.
