Abstract
This study was conducted to assess the efficacy of tranexamic acid given preoperatively in controlling the bleeding during tonsillectomy. A total of 50 patients who underwent tonsillectomy were randomized into two groups Group 1 was given intravenous tranexamic acid preoperatively with dose of 15mg/kg. Group 2 tranexamic acid was not given. Intraoperative quantity of bleeding was noted in each case. Decreased quantity of bleeding was noted in the study group and the p‐value was <0.05, which was statistically significant, when compared to control group. No side effects were observed. Single IV dose of tranexamic acid at a dose of 15mg/kg preoperatively is effective in controlling of tonsillectomy bleeding.
