Postpartum haemorrhage related early increase in D-dimers is inhibited by tranexamic acid: haemostasis parameters of a randomized controlled open labelled trial.

Background: Beneficial effects of tranexamic acid (TA) have been established in surgery and trauma. In ongoing postpartum haemorrhage (PPH), a moderate reduction of blood loss was observed in a previously published randomized controlled trial. Analysis of haemostasis parameters obtained from samples collected as part of this study are presented.
