Summary

Arthroscopic shoulder surgery is a commonly performed minimally invasive surgery in which a camera (an arthroscope) is inserted inside the shoulder joint. This surgery is responsible for moderate to severe pain. It may require the use of opioid analgesics in the acute phase. One of the components of this pain may be the postoperative hematoma. Pain is one of the main causes of patient satisfaction failure after shoulder surgery. Finding ways to reduce this pain is a primary principle in the management of this surgery. Until now, this management requires the frequent use of morphine. However, this use of morphine may conduct to adverse effects (nausea/vomiting, constipation, malaise, sweating), and even public health problems such as addiction. It is therefore interesting to look for ways to increase the patient's analgesia by other means, which will thus increase patient satisfaction and make his management more fluid. The effect on pain of hematoma reduction is rarely described in the scientific literature. The hypothesis of this study is that the intraoperative administration of intravenous (IV) tranexamic acid can reduce the hematoma and thus decrease postoperative pain.The aim of this study is to demonstrate that the use of IV tranexamic acid intraoperatively, compared to a placebo (sodium chloride 0.9%), reduces postoperative pain after arthroscopic shoulder surgery.

Interventions

DRUGTranexamic acid injection

The dose will be 0.1 mg / kg (= 10 mg/kg) and diluted in a 100 mL infusion bag of sodium chloride. The product will have to be administered as a slow infusion over 10 minutes during the shoulder surgery.

DRUGPlacebo

Surgery with intravenous injection of Placebo (0.9% sodium chloride). A 100 mL infusion bag of sodium chloride will be administered as a slow infusion over 10 minutes during shoulder surgery.
