RandomizedParallel-groupDouble-blindPrevention
Summary
The purpose of this study is to assess if aprotinin (BAY A0128), given intravenously during surgery, is safe and can help reduce the amount of bleeding and the need for a blood transfusion during hip replacement surgery. Patients undergoing major surgery are at risk for significant blood loss. Because of this, there is a need for drugs that will help slow the amount of bleeding during surgery.
