Drug may cut blood transfusions in Kids' hip surgery
NCT ID NCT04811313
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests whether giving tranexamic acid (TXA) during hip reconstruction in children reduces blood loss and the need for blood transfusions. About 400 children will be randomly assigned to receive TXA, a nerve block, or standard care. The goal is to make surgery safer and speed up recovery.
