Supportive topical tranexamic acid application for hemostasis in oral bleeding events - Retrospective cohort study of 542 patisents
Journal of Cranio-Maxillofacial Surgery Apr 03, 2018
Zirk M, et al. - Authors assessed whether oral hemostasis was achieved by mere compression and topical application of tranexamic acid (TXA) in different anticoagulant regimes among patients attending a General Emergency Department. They also evaluated the limits to this procedure and if bleeding quality or oral anticoagulant therapy had the greater impact on the choice of the surgeons for an invasive hemostatic approach. In order to stop mild bleeding events such as the bloody oozing of an oral wound, topical application of TXA aids as a useful supportive tool. Results suggested that the quality of an oral bleeding episode ought to be considered in the choice of hemostatic measure. Least invasive procedure ought to be used to begin the hemostatic approaches. TXA was seen to be a helpful tool.
