Background: Blood conservation continues to be an important focus of interest in the field of cardiac surgery, given the increased awareness of blood-borne diseases and problems arising from multiple donor transfusions that are routine part of cardiac surgery.[1] the search for methods and pharmacological agents to reduce blood loss after cardiac surgery is on-going.Use of antifibrinolytic has been studied and used in adult cardiac patients widely but there are not many studies regarding use of Tranexemic Acid in Cyanotic Congenital heart disease patients undergoing open heart surgery. Methods: After ethic comitee permission 114 patients divided into two groups A and B .Group A –Injection Tranexemic Acid 10mg /kg IV followed by infusion of 1mg/kg till end of surgery and Group B –three bolus doses of Injection Tranexemic Acid 10mg/kg IV,Blood loss,coagulation parametres,outcome of surgery studied with detail. Result: It was found that three bolus doses of IV Tranexemic acid 10mg per kg is superior to IV bolus Followed by continuous infusion. Keywords: Tranexemic acid, Congenital Cyanotic heart disease, Boluses, Blood loss.
