Conditions

Posterior Lumbar Spinal Fusion Surgery

Brief summary

The aim of this study was to determine whether the administration of tranexamic acid in patients undergoing lumbar spinal fusion surgery can inhibit damage in endothelial glycocalyx layer. As a prospective double blinded randomized placebo-controlled trial, the investigators detect and compare the changes in concentrations of serum syndecan-1 and heparan sulfate before and after surgery.

Interventions

DRUGTranexamic acid

Intravenous infusion of Tranexamic acid(mixed with normal saline) at the dose of 10mg/kg(body weight) for 20 min after induction of anesthesia and then administration another 1mg/kg/hr(body weight) of Tranexamic acid(mixed with normal saline) until the end of the operation.

DRUG0.9% NaCl (normal saline)

The same amount of normal saline solution without the addition of tranexamic acid is administered in the same manner as the experimental group(Tranexamic acid intervention group).
