Abstrakt: Purpose: Our study goal is to review the efficacy of tranexamic acid in reducing blood loss and operative time in nasal surgeries.
Methods: We included randomized clinical trials using oral or intravenous tranexamic acid, excluded non-randomized studies, topic administration, coagulopathy, and using other drugs interfering in the coagulation cascade. Online databases, National Library of Medicine (MEDLINE-PubMED), Latin American and Caribbean Literature on Health Sciences (Lilacs), Cochrane Library, Embase and Google Scholar were used to perform the search. The review was registered in PROSPERO by no CRD42022310977. Two authors, independently, selected the articles meeting the inclusion criteria. They extracted the data and used RevMan 5 software to perform the meta-analysis.
Results: Our search resulted in 16 RCTs that were included in the meta-analysis totalizing 1108 patients. Studies were evaluated resulting in a low risk of bias for the five domains. The use of tranexamic acid resulted in significant reduction in duration of surgery (DOS) and intraoperative blood loss (IBL) had significant reduction. The level of evidence according to GRADE System was high in all studies and variables.
Conclusion: Tranexamic acid has an important role in reducing intraoperative blood loss and duration of surgery. Our study has some limitations due to the low number of RCTs available in the literature.
