Study Summary

The purpose of this study is to determine whether Amicar (ε-aminocaproic acid) is effective in reducing blood loss in children undergoing craniofacial reconstruction surgery. The investigators hypothesize that Amicar will decrease intraoperative blood loss and decrease the need for perioperative blood product administration in children undergoing craniofacial surgery.

Primary Outcome

As estimated blood loss is known to be inaccurate in this setting, mean intraoperative blood loss (in mL/kg) will be calculated using a formula previously described in this population.
