2. Treatment group: 100 mL 0.9% NS containing 1g tranexamic acid (TA). Study solution will be infused via an infusion pump over 10 minutes. Blood loss will be measured by visual estimate and weight of surgical sponges. Noninvasive hemoglobin will be measured throughout the study. All routine care lab values will be noted. At minimum, one lab panel will be sent one hour after study solution initiation (hemoglobin, fibrinogen, platelet count, aPTT, PT, and TEG).
