The main updates concern tranexamic acid:

  • 1.3.1 Offer tranexamic acid to adults having surgery in an operating theatre if:there is any risk of bleeding, and the procedure will breach the skin or mucous membranes. [2026]
  • 1.3.2 Offer tranexamic acid to adults having surgery outside an operating theatre (for example, interventional radiology or A and E) who are expected to lose more than 500 ml of blood. [2026]
  • 1.3.3 When using tranexamic acid for adults having surgery, administer it just before the start of surgery. Typically give 1 g by slow intravenous injection. [2026]

It is no longer limited only to high-risk surgeries and also applies to children.”
