He is the Scientific Leader of the Population Health Research Institute's Anesthesiology, Perioperative Medicine, and Surgical Research Group. In this video, he discusses PeriOperative ISchemic Evaluation-3 Trial (POISE-3).

 

Description in detail:

The POISE-3 experiment is a multicenter, international, non-inferiority randomized controlled trial of tranexamic acid (TXA) against placebo and, utilizing a partial factorial design, a perioperative hypotension-avoidance versus hypertension-avoidance strategy. The primary goal of the study is to determine whether TXA is superior to placebo in terms of the occurrence of life-threatening, major, and critical organ bleeding, and non-inferior to placebo in terms of the occurrence of major arterial and venous thrombotic events; and 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.
