Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
1.Estimated total blood loss until discharge: Includes intraoperative suction volume, gauze weighing, drain output (if used), and visible postoperative bleeding. 2.Haemoglobin and haematocrit changes: Measured at baseline, 24, 48, 72 hours and 7 days postoperatively. 3.Need for blood transfusion: Proportion of patients transfused and total number of units transfused. In cases requiring a second surgery, total units transfused till the second surgery. 4.Intraoperative blood loss: Documented by the anaesthesia and surgical team Timepoint: At presentation 8 hours Postoperative (24, 48,72 hours and 7 day) Daily until discharge At discharge

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
1. Platelet count at baseline & postoperatively (to assess coagulopathy) 2. Wound-related complications: infection, hematoma, wound necrosis, dehiscence 3. Incidence of thromboembolic events (clinically suspected DVT, PE, MI, stroke) 4. Length of hospital stay 5. Adverse drug reactions (allergic reactions, seizures, etc.) Timepoint: 1. baseline & post operative 2.postoperative period only 3.through out the stay, no specific time point 4.nil 5.after administering drug
