Understanding the influence of transfusion and blood loss on tranexamic acid concentration in scoliosis surgery with blood loss

British Journal of Clinical Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Aims Tranexamic acid (TXA) stabilizes clot formation by inhibiting fibrin degradation and improves postoperative outcomes. However, rare adverse events (e.g., thrombosis, seizures) warrant dose–risk evaluation. This study examines how perioperative blood loss and transfusion practices affect TXA concentrations during paediatric scoliosis surgery ...
