    AbstractBlood loss during and after tonsillectomy was assessed in 80 patients, 40 of whom were treated with tranexamic acid. A statistically significant reduction of blood loss (28%) was observed in this group during operation. Later bleedings occurred only in 27.5% (control: 67.5%) and stopped after 2 h (mean of control: 5.6h). Bleedings in the tranexamic acid group were mild and scarcely required other hemostyptic treatment, while in the control group some patients had to be treated with etamsylate or fibrogen for a longer period to stop bleeding. Tranexamic acid appears to be an effective and well-tolerated agent for reduction of blood loss caused by local hyperfibrinolysis.
