Effect of Intravenous Aminocaproid Acid on Blood Loss and Transfusion Requirements After Bilateral Varus Rotational Osteotomy: A Double-blind, Placebo-controlled Randomized Trial

Conclusions: There was no difference in blood loss or transfusion requirements associated with EACA compared with placebo; however, this study is underpowered to detect smaller differences in blood loss. Additional studies with larger sample sizes are needed to confirm these findings and further elucidate the indications for antifibrinolytic agents in pediatric patients. Level of Evidence Level I.
