To evaluate the effectiveness of aminocaproic acid in preventing postoperative hematomas after breast cancer surgery.
Conducted a prospective study
Administered intravenous aminocaproic acid during surgery
Assessed incidence of postoperative hematomas
Aminocaproic acid significantly reduced the incidence of postoperative hematomas.
The intervention appears to be a low-cost adjunct for bleeding prevention in breast cancer surgery.
Abstract
