Tranexamic Acid Administration to impact the thromboembolic events - Video
|
Overview
Tranexamic acid is popularly used to treat menorrhagia and bleeding in patients with hemophilia but also commonly administered for bleeding related to cardiac surgery, orthopedic surgery, and traumatic injuries.
Findings in JAMA Network Open suggest that tranexamic acid may be beneficial in various patient populations with trauma. However, reasonable concerns about potential thromboembolic events with tranexamic acid remain.
Study examined the association of tranexamic acid administration with mortality and thromboembolic events compared with no treatment or with placebo in patients with traumatic injury in the literature.
