Intravenous Tranexamic Acid in Diabetic Macular TRD Surgeries

Completed
Conditions
Diabetic Retinopathy
Macular Traction Retinal Detachment
Registration Number
NCT06560073
Lead Sponsor
Ahalia Foundation Eye Hospital
Brief Summary

The goal of this observational study is to learn about safety and results of peroperative and intraoperative intravenous Tranexamic acid for diabetic macular tractional detachment eye surgeries . The main question it aims to answer is:

Adverse events and their frequency? immediate postoperative bleeding incidence? effective vitrectomy time?

Detailed Description

all Patients who agreed and gave informed consent forsurgery as well as to be included in study were included

Patients injected INTRAVENOUS TRANEXAMIC ACID 500 mg diluted to 10 ml with normal saline slowly in immediate preoperative period Accordingly, whenever bleeding was anticipated before removing active taut membranes or when bleeder was noted TXA 0.5 g was added upto maximum of 2 g. In Chronic kidney Disease patients dose was kept as maximum of 1.5 g

data analysis pack of microsoft excel will be used for statistical analysis. descriptive statistics will be applied. wherever mean of continuous variables is to be compared among subgroups, unpaired students t test will be used. To find any relationship among continuous variables , pearsons correlation or multiple regression will be used from data analysis pack of microsoft excel.

Not specified
Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Number of systemic adverse eventsintraoperatively and postoperatively 24 hours

Safety of intravenous tranexamic acid

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Surgical time for vitrectomyintraoperatively

Surgical time for vitrectomy that is less view blurring because of intraoperative bleed

Number of surgeries in which retinectomy requiredintraoperatively

Instances where it bleeds profusely and surgery could yet be completed successfully

Number of surgeries in which Perfluorocarbon liquid had to be usedintraoperatively

PFCL acts as third hand- denotes complexity of surgery

Number of systemic adverse events in patients having Chronic kidney diseaseintraoperatively and postoperatively 24 hours

Safety of intravenous tranexamic acid in Patients also having Chronic Kidney Disease

Any relation between intraoperative use of Tranexamic acid and labetalolintraoperatively

labetalol dose needed

Number of vitrectomies converted intraoperatively to bimanual techniqueintraoperatively

Highly complex surgeries

Number of surgeries in which Internal Limiting Membrane peeling doneintraoperatively

ilm peeling done after staining retina with Brilliant blue

Number of eyes having preretinal bleed at the end of surgeryimmediate postoperatively

to find efficacy of Tranexamic acid in decreasing immediate post operative bleed

Visual acuity change after surgery6 months postoperatively

improvement in visual acuity
