ABSTRACT
Objective To determine the effect of 6-aminocaproic acid (EACA) to reduce postoperation bleeding following in mitral valve replacement.Method 50 adult patients uddergoing mitral valve replacement was adopted a double-bisind randomized trial to be divided into two groups.Each group is 25 patients.The patients in control groups received NS,the ones in study groups received NS as same as control groups but added EACE 10 g by intravation.The bleeding amount in cavitas thoracis were recorded on the sixth,twenty-fourth postoperative hours and ACT was recorded as well.Results The bleeding amount in study groups on the sixth postoperative hours were (290.0±41.3) ml.On twenty-fourth postoperative hours were (336.3±81.3) ml.The bleeding amount in control groups on the sixth postoperative hours were (393.4±73.6) ml.On twenty-fourth postoperative hours were (450.0±79.6) ml.The bleeding amount in study groups were decreased significantly as compared with in control groups (P<0.05).Conclusion:6-aminocaproic acid can reduce postoperation bleeding following in mitral valve replacement.
