Abstract

Background: Postpartum haemorrhage (PPH) is an important cause of early maternal death which needs to be controlled.

Objective: This study was designed to compare the effect of intravenous tranexamic acid (TXA) and prostaglandin analogue on reducing PPH resulted from uterine atony in women undergoing C section or vaginal delivery.

Method: A randomized, triple-blind, placebo-controlled study was conducted on 248 pregnant women with PPH due to uterine atony who were randomly assigned into two groups of TXA as the intervention group (n=124) and prostaglandin analogue as the control group (n=124). The intervention group received 4 g TXA for an hour and then 1 g over 6 hours infusion intravenously and the control group received prostaglandin analogue.

Results: Postoperative bleeding did not significantly differ between the two groups (68.2±6.1 ml and 69.1±175.73 ml, respectively, P =0.6). Moreover, hemoglobin declines were 1±0.4 g/dl and 1.2±0.5 g/dL in TXA and prostaglandin group respectively, indicating that the difference was not statistically significant (P =0.7).

Conclusion: The results of the present study showed that administrating intravenous TXA had comparable effects with prostaglandin analogue on reducing PPH in women with uterine atony and in those undergoing C section or vaginal delivery. Therefore, TXA can be used instead of prostaglandin in managing such patients.

氨甲环酸预防子宫张力所致产后出血的三盲随机临床试验

背景:产后出血(PPH)是导致产妇早期死亡的重要原因，需要加以控制。目的:比较静脉注射氨甲环酸(TXA)和前列腺素类似物对降低剖腹产和阴道分娩妇女子宫张力所致PPH的影响。方法:采用随机、三盲、安慰剂对照的方法，将248例因子宫张力不全而发生PPH的孕妇随机分为两组:TXA为干预组(n=124)，前列腺素类似物为对照组(n=124)。干预组给予TXA 4 g，连续1 h静脉滴注，6 h静脉滴注，对照组给予前列腺素类似物。结果:两组患者术后出血无显著差异(分别为68.2±6.1 ml和69.1±175.73 ml, P =0.6)。TXA组和前列腺素组血红蛋白下降幅度分别为1±0.4 g/dl和1.2±0.5 g/dl，差异无统计学意义(P =0.7)。结论:本研究结果表明，静脉注射TXA与前列腺素类似物在降低子宫张力妇女和剖腹产或阴道分娩妇女PPH方面具有相当的效果。因此，TXA可以代替前列腺素治疗此类患者。
