Official Title: Perioperative Administration of Tranexamic Acid for Placenta Previa and Accreta Study (TAPPAS): A Randomized, Placebo-controlled Double Blind Trial

Brief Summary: The purpose of this pilot study is to determine if intravenous tranexamic acid (TXA) is effective for reducing blood loss during high risk surgical procedures related to placenta previa and placenta accreta. TXA is currently used in other types of surgery for patients who are expected to have a large blood loss, such as orthopedic or open heart surgery.
