This study is a multicentre, international, randomized controlled trial of tranexamic acid
(TXA) versus placebo and, using a partial factorial design, of a perioperative
hypotension-avoidance versus hypertension-avoidance strategy.

The POISE-3 study is a 10,000 patient, multicentre, international, non-inferiority randomized
controlled trial of tranexamic acid (TXA) versus placebo and, using a partial factorial
design, of a perioperative hypotension-avoidance versus hypertension-avoidance strategy. The
primary objective of the study is to determine; if TXA is superior to placebo for the
occurrence of life-threatening, major, and critical organ bleeding, and non-inferior to
placebo for the occurrence of major arterial and venous thrombotic event; and to determine
the impact of a hypotension-avoidance strategy versus a hypertension-avoidance strategy on
the risk of vascular death and major vascular events in patients who are followed for 30 days
after noncardiac surgery.

Inclusion criteria:

1. Undergoing noncardiac surgery;

2. ≥ 45 years of age;

3. Expected to require at least an overnight hospital admission after surgery;

creatinine > 175 µmol/L (> 2.0 mg/dl); viii. History of smoking within 2 years of surgery;
ix. Undergoing emergent/urgent surgery.

Exclusion criteria:

1. Planned use of systemic TXA during surgery

2. Hypersensitivity or known allergy to TXA

3. Creatinine clearance <30 mL/min (Modification of Diet in Renal Disease [MDRD])

4. History of seizure disorder
