Show Notes

Take Home Points

  1. Giving TXA provides a significant mortality benefit to the any trauma patient requiring massive transfusion with an NNT = 7 for mortality
  2. TXA must be given early. Give within 1 hour of injury if possible but the benefit remains up to 3 hours out
  3. TXA administration: 1 gram as a bolus followed by 1 gram over the next 8 hours
