POISE-3 was an international multicentre randomized clinical trial to assess the impact of tranexamic acid (TXA) versus placebo, and to assess the impact of managing hypotension versus standard of care (hypertension) in patients undergoing non-cardiac surgery who are at risk of a perioperative cardiovascular event.

The primary objective of POISE-3 was to determine the incidence of a composite of myocardial infarction, stroke and pulmonary embolism. Patients were followed for one year.
