Assessment of the effect of tranexamic acid on perioperative bleeding in pediatric patients undergoing tonsillectomy

Conclusion The present study showed no effect of tranexamic acid in decreasing the tonsillectomy-related bleeding and there is no complication related to tranexamic acid. We are recommending other studies to measure the fibrinolytic activity during tonsillectomy and its inhibition by tranexamic acid.
