[Journal of the American College of Surgeons (JACS) @acsJACS]

This JACS study found that in BCVI patients with concomitant injuries at high risk for bleeding, antithrombotic use reduces the risk of ischemic strokes with a low reported risk of serious hemorrhagic complications.

TXA results in improved 24-hr and 28-day mortality as previously demonstrated.

NOT at all surprised that it would not be found to have an impact on functional outcomes.

Enough with the 1 gram, 1 gram nonsense➡️2g IV in the field!!

Take home? TXA SAVES LIVES!
