Prehospital tranexamic acid for severe trauma.

12 October 2023
Randomized clinical trials Trauma
The PATCH-Trauma Investigators and the ANZICS Clinical Trials Group.

N Engl J Med 2023; 389: 127-136.

This multicentre study included 1310 injured patients randomly allocated tranexamic acid. After six months, rates of survival with favourable functional outcome were similar: 53.7 per cent with tranexamic acid compared to 53.5 per cent in controls, P=0.95.

Comment: Much of the literature about tranexamic acid is positive, and this requires further analysis and explanation.
