Highlights
In obstetric practice, LSCS is reported to be the most common indication of blood transfusion (BT) as it may lead to severe intra-operative loss of blood
Tranexamic acid significantly reduced the quantity of the blood loss from time of placental delivery to 2 hours postpartum (P < 0.001) and from end of LSCS to 2 hours postpartum (P < 0.001)
A safe dose of tranexamic acid has an effective role in reducing blood loss during LSCS without causing adverse reaction
Summary
LSCS is reported to be the most common indication of blood transfusion (BT) as it may lead to severe intra-operative loss of blood. 20% endure anemia, of that iron deficiency, folic acid deficiency, or both is the most common.[3] It is because of the fact that in pregnancy plasma volume is increased by 50%, red blood cells by 33%, and hemoglobin (Hb) by 18-20% mass. There is an increased demand of iron in the second half of pregnancy. All these physiological factors when combined leads to physiological anemia.[3]. This study was done to evaluate the efficacy and safety of TXA in reducing the blood loss after placental delivery following LSCS and record any adverse effects following its administration
