Secondary haemorrhage following traumatic hyphaema. A comparative study of conservative and tranexamic acid treatment.
Three out of 56 consecutively admitted patients with traumatic hyhaema, treated conservatively, developed secondary haemorrhage. Of the following 64 patients treated with tranexamic acid, none developed secondary haemorrhage. Statistical analysis, using chi2 test with Yate's correction showed no statistical difference with regard to the occurrence of secondary haemorrhage between the two groups.
