Brief Summary   The antifibrinolytic effect of tranexamic acid is well established and studies support its role in cases of neurosurgery to reduce intraoperative blood loss. However, few studies have attempted to evaluate the efficacy of intravenous bolus as compared to continuous intravenous infusion of tranexamic acid in patients undergoing neurosurgery. Keeping these observation in mind, this study is being undertaken to evaluate the efficacy of intravenous bolus dose of tranexamic acid with intravenous bolus followed by continuous infusion of tranexamic acid in neurosurgery patients undergoing brain tumour surgery.
