Which medication is beneficial for managing a hemophilic patient after surgery?
Explanation
Vitamin K is ineffective in hemophilia since the disorder involves factor VIII deficiency, not vitamin K–dependent factors. Monsel’s solution is a topical hemostatic agent but not used systemically. Aminocaproic acid is an antifibrinolytic that helps stabilize clots and is useful postoperatively in hemophilic patients. Factor VIII cryoprecipitate replaces the deficient clotting factor but is not the focus of this question. Therefore, aminocaproic acid is valuable in postoperative care for hemophilia.
