About
Transbronchial cryobiopsies are common procedures used to obtain tissue samples from airways for diagnostic purposes. While these procedures are safe, there is a risk of bleeding from the biopsy site. We are conducting a research study to assess the safety and effectiveness of using tranexamic acid prior to undergoing a transbronchial cryobiopsy.
Full description
Prophylactic tranexamic acid will be instilled via endobronchial route in all patients undergoing transbronchial cryobiopsy. The medication will be administered through the bronchoscope one minute prior to the cryobiopsy. 500 mg of TXA diluted in 10 ml of saline and the procedure would be carried out as usual.
The study will be a prospective, single-arm, non-randomized trial Location: Ascension Via Christi Saint Francis. Medication: Tranexamic acid 500 milligrams per 5 mL ampule (Baxter, NDC 43066-008-01) mixed with 10 mL normal saline.
Patients: A total of 100 patients will be enrolled in the study.
