The EMS Lighthouse Project

First, there was Episode 31: TXA for Epistaxis (the Zahed RCT from Tehran), then there was Episode 40: TXA for Epistaxis, Part Deux (the NoPAC trial), now there's Episode 64: TXA for Epistaxis, Part Trois, another Iranian RCT.
So... we have conflicted evidence, all from RCTs, about whether TXA works for epistaxis. Dr. Jarvis goes through the prior trials and then gives a more detailed look at the new evidence. He closes by talking about how he handles conflicting evidence.
