Phil Spinella, Co Director, Trauma and Transfusion Medicine Research Center at the University of Pittsburgh, shared a post on LinkedIn about a recent article he and his colleagues co-authored, adding:
“What dose of TXA for children with severe traumatic bleeding should you use?
See the below dose simulation study for some answers.
By the way it is alright to push IV based on these simulations. The MATIC-2 trial will give us direct PK and PD data for EMS systems and hospitals willing to participate in the trial.”
