Intravenous Tranexamic Acid Reduces Blood Loss in Multilevel Spine Surgeries.
J Am Acad Orthop Surg
February 2023
Introduction: Complex spine surgeries are associated with notable blood loss requiring numerous strategies to preserve blood volume. Tranexamic acid (TXA) is efficacious in reducing blood loss when used topically during surgery, intravenously with or without postoperative maintenance treatment. We aimed to evaluate the effect of preoperative weight-independent intravenous administration of 1 g intravenous TXA on perioperative blood loss in lumbar microdiskectomy, single-level lumbar spinal fusion, and multilevel lumbar decompression (two or more levels).

- Posterior reversible encephalopathy syndrome (PRES) is a neurological disorder characterized by symptoms such as seizures, visual disturbances, headaches, and confusion, typically diagnosed through MRI and clinical evaluation.
- A case study of a 58-year-old woman with ovarian cancer revealed PRES symptoms triggered by a sudden spike in blood pressure, despite no prior history or treatment.
- The identification of antibodies against collapsin response-mediator protein-5 (CRMP-5) in her cerebrospinal fluid suggests a potential new link between PRES and certain malignancy-related proteins.
