PLASTIC RECONSTRUCTIVE AND REGENERATIVE SURGERY

Abstract

Tranexamic acid (TXA) is widely used in various surgical settings to prevent bleeding. Despite extensive evidence supporting its safety and efficacy in many procedures, including hip fracture surgery, it is still largely underused. TXA could be given orally, intravenously or topically pre-, intra- and/or postoperatively. It has been shown to reduce blood transfusions and also to shorten hospital stays. Low doses are efficient. Almost all patients with hip fracture should receive TXA.
