入选标准
- •Patients admitted to Memorial Hermann Medical Center with acute femur fractures that require open surgical approaches for fracture reduction and implant application, including patients with subtrochanteric, high-energy intertrochanteric, periprosthetic, and intra-articular distal femur fractures.
排除标准
- •Preoperative use of any anticoagulant
- •History of deep venous thrombosis or pulmonary embolus
- •Allergy to TXA
- •Hepatic dysfunction (AST/ALT > 60)
- •Renal dysfunction (Cr > 1.5 or GFR < 30)
- •History of cerebrovascular accident in the past 12 months
- •Active coronary artery disease (event in the past 12 months)
- •Presence of drug-eluting stent
- •Color blindness
- •Presence of an additional acute injury that could contribute to blood transfusion requirements

结局指标
主要结局
Transfusion requirements as assessed by number of packed red blood cell units received
时间窗: from the time of surgery to hospital discharge (about 3-5 days)
次要结局
- Surgical blood loss as assessed by an intraoperative cell salvage machine(at the time of surgery)
- Surgical blood loss as assessed by change in red blood cell volume(baseline, while in PACU (which is about 4-6 hours after surgery))
- Length of hospital stay(from the time of hospital admission to the time of hospital discharge (about 5 days))
- Number of participants with complications(6 weeks after surgery)
