Tranexamic acid in multiply injured patients–the independent risk of thromboembolic complications with repeated dosing: retrospective analysis based on the TraumaRegister DGU®

In our study we report on an associated risk of thromboembolic events in multiply injured patients with every single time tranexamic acid was administered in our study. Thus, before a repetitive dose of tranexamic acid is administered checking for indication is advised and especially in multiply injured patients receiving repeated administrations of TXA starting a thromboprophylaxis, as soon as possible after the traumatic bleeding disorder is controlled, is important.
