prophylactic tranexamic acid in prevention of post-partum haemorrhage in ELLSCS
In this study, the role of tranexamic acid is being observed in preventing PPH in women undergoing ELLSCS by dividing women into two groups and giving one group placebo while the other would receive tranexamic acid. Two boxes, A and B, each containing 52 vials of the same size and color; one would contain the drug, i.e: TXA 1000 mg in 10 ml , while the other would contain a placebo in 10 ml vial, provided by a company; these would be revealed at the end of the study. A jar containing 104 chits, 52 of which would have the letter A written on them and the other 52 would have the letter B, would be kept in GYNAE OT. Prior to ELLSCS, a chit would be selected from the jar, and the patient would be given the drug according to the chit. It's a triple-blinded study; the patient, doctor, surgeon, and data analyst all will be blinded.
