Abstract :Purpose: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of tranexamic acid insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(TXA); in reducing blood loss during surgically assisted rapid palatal expansion insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(SARPE); procedure. Subjects and Methods: A total of 34 patients insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(12 male, 22 female); who had been treated surgically under general anesthesia with SARPE including pterygoid disjunction for transverse maxillary deficiency insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(TMD); were included in this study. The study group insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(n=17); received intravenous insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(IV); TXA 10 mg/kg as a preoperative bolus; the control group insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(n=17); received normal saline solution. Preoperative and postoperative haemoglobin and haematocrit values, intraoperative blood loss, and any blood product transfusion were recorded. Results: Blood loss during SARPE was statistically significantly less in the study group than the control group insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(p=0.0001);. Conclusion: Preoperative IV administration of TXA can effectively control blood loss during when SARPE with pterygoid disjunction is performed.
