Assessment the role of tranexamic acid in prevention of postpartum hemorrhage
Abstract Background Postpartum hemorrhage (PPH) is one of the leading causes of maternal mortality and morbidity worldwide. It is believed that hemostatic imbalance secondary to release of tissue plasminogen activator (tPA) and subsequent hyperfibrinolysis plays a major role in PPH pathogenesis. Ant...

Conclusion Prophylactic administration of tranexamic acid reduces intraoperative and postoperative bleeding in cesarean section and the incidence of postpartum hemorrhage.https://doi.org/10.1186/s42077-021-00154-6AntifibrinolyticCesarean sectionHyperfibrinolysisPostpartum hemorrhageTranexamic acid |
