Not CRASH or TBIs, but for epistaxis. I love using TXA for nose bleeds. Well, sometimes science can throw you curve balls. My anecdotal evidence is strong that TXA works and I’m certainly biased in favor of using it. In this episode, I discuss a well done RCT (the NoPAC trial) that provides some contradictory results. Join me for a discussion of this new paper and the importance of keeping an open mind about medicine and evidence.\r\nCitation: \r\nReuben A, Appelboam A, Stevens KN et al.
