Popis: Tranexamic acid (TXA) can reduce blood loss and transfusion rates in orthopaedic surgery. In this regard, a new viscoelastometric test (TPA-test, ClotPro), enables the monitoring of TXA effects. This prospective observational study evaluated and correlated TXA plasma concentrations (cTXA) following intravenous and oral administration in patients undergoing elective orthopaedic surgery with lysis variables of TPA-test. Blood samples of 42 patients were evaluated before TXA application and 2, 6, 12, 24 and 48 h afterwards. TPA-test was used to determine lysis time (LT) as well as maximum lysis (ML) and cTXA was measured using Ultra-High-Performance-Liquid-Chromatography/Mass-Spectrometry. Data are presented as median (min-max). LT
