Summary

This study tests whether giving tranexamic acid, a drug that helps blood clot, can lower the chance of needing a blood transfusion during or after major abdominal surgery. About 850 adults having planned surgeries like stomach or bowel removal will receive either the drug or a placebo. The goal is to see if the drug safely reduces transfusion needs.
