Intraoperative administration of tranexamic acid (TXA,T) reduces significantly blood loss and blood transfusion requirements during spinal posterior fusion in adolescents with scoliosis. TXA acts mainly by inhibit the plasminogen activator. Desmopressin (DDAVP ,D) can inhibit the fibrinolytic activity by inducing the release of von Willebrand factor from the endothelial cells. But at the same time, it releases tissue-type plasminogen activator (t-PA), which may cripple its hemostatic effect. The investigators supposed that if the investigators combine TXA with DDAVP in scoliosis correction surgery, the blood loss and the transfusion need would be reduced significantly.

10mg/kg, IV (in the vein) for 30min, before incision. then at 1mg/kg/h, IV pump, until the surgery is over.
100ml, IV for 30min,before incision.
0.3μg/kg dissolved in 100ml NS,IV for 30min,before incision.
blood loss
The blood loss include the volume of blood in suction bottles, the weight of sponges and seroma volume of drainage 3 days after surgery. All fluids added to the surgical field intraoperatively were carefully quantified and deducted from the measured blood loss.
Time frame: during and 3 days after the surgery
blood transfusion
The blood transfusion includes all the product needed during and in 3 days after the surgery.
Time frame: during and 3 days after the surgery
