Outcomes
Primary outcome [1] 293926 0
estimated blood loss (EBL) during and after Cesarean section
Estimated blood loss was calculated according to the following formula:
"EBL = EBV ×" "Preop Hematocrit - Postop Hematocrit" /"Preop Hematocrit"
EBL: estimated blood loss
EBV: estimated blood volume (ml) = weight (kg) x 85

Summary
Brief summary
A randomized placebo-controlled prospective study involved 200 women undergoing elective LSCS randomized to receive either 1 gm TA 15 min before CS (TA group) or glucose 5% (Placebo group). Complete blood count (CBC) was done before CS and 24 hours later. The pre- and postoperative hematocrit values and maternal weight were used to calculate the estimated blood loss (EBL) during CS which was the primary outcome measure.
