Study summary

What the protocol is testing.

The aim of the study is to evaluate the effect of oral tranexamic acid plus, sublingual misoprostol in the management of atonic postpartum hemorrhage (PPH) after vaginal delivery

Full detailed description

Uterine atony is the main cause of PPH; therefore, active management of the third stage of labor has emerged as a most actual tool in its prevention. The previous study in Egypt recorded that 88% of deaths from PPH occur within 4 h of delivery. Tranexamic acid (TA) is an antifibrinolytic agent that blocks the lysine-binding site of plasminogen to fibrin. Accordingly, clot breaks down, fibrinolysis is inhibited, and excessive bleeding is reduced. In previous studies, its safety has been confirmed for use in non-pregnant women, with no thromboembolic complications. TA is an inexpensive, widely available medicine that has been shown to reduce bleeding in surgery and reduce the risk of death in bleeding trauma patients.
