Study summary

This study compares the effect of tranexamic acid on hemoptysis when given through the conventional IV route and Through nebulization.

Read the detailed description

The investigators are conducting a randomized controlled trial for the comparison of routes through which tranexamic acid can be given to control hemoptysis. The study participants will be divided into 2 groups randomly and 1 group will be assigned to use IV route while other will be assigned the nebulization route and the result variables include the time taken for complete control of hemoptysis and recurrence time. Another variable is the reduction in amout of blood in sputum after each intervention.

Study arms

  • Active comparator
    Group receiving tranexamic acid via IV route

    Tranexamic acid has been used conventionally for hemoptysis via IV route

    Drug: Tranexamic Acid (TXA)

  • Experimental
    The Group receiving tranexamic acid via nebulization

    Tranexamic acid when given through nebulization can be more effective than IV route in controlling hemoptysis

    Drug: Tranexamic Acid (TXA)

Interventions

  • In this study we are comparing the effect of tranexamic acid on hemoptysis when given through IV route and nebulization

    Also known as: nebulization
