Abstract
[Extract] Tranexamic acid (TXA), an antifibrinolytic agent, has been widely publicized as saving lives after traumatic hemorrhage in the CRASH-2, MSATTERs, and PER-TRAX trials (2-5) and more recently after postpartum hemorrhage (PPH) in the World Maternal Antifibrinolytic (WOMAN) trial (6). Prophylactic administration of TXA is also increasingly used in major elective and emergency surgery to reduce excessive bleeding, transfusion requirements, and possible reexploration. (7)
