ABSTRACT

Objective: To evaluate the effectiveness of the hemostatic agent ethamsylate to decrease transurgical bleeding in adenotonsillectomy.
Materials and Methods: An open, descriptive, quasi-experimental study was conducted from January to June 2019. Two groups were randomly conformed: ethamsylate group and control group. The amount of trans-surgical bleeding during adenotonsillectomy was analyzed.
Results: A total of 40 patients were included, 20 to the group of ethamsylate and the other 20 to the control group. The mean age in the control group was 6.25 ± 1.71 years and in the ethamsylate group it was 6.75 ± 1.83 years. Trans-surgical bleeding was calculated in both surgeries with gauze counting, obtaining in the control group 35.5 ± 8.2 mL and in the experimental group 16.75 ± 3.35 mL, which was statistically significant (p ‹ 0.05%).
Conclusions: It was demonstrated reduced transurgical bleeding with the administration of ethamsylate during transurgical period of adenotonsillectomy.
