Penn Medicine's Trauma Center uses all means necessary to quickly find and stop bleeding, as uncontrolled bleeding is the leading cause of death in patients who have been severely injured. Depending on the location and severity of bleeding, a patient may require specific medications, red blood cell transfusion, invasive catheter procedures, plasma or platelets, or surgery. • • Patrick Kim, MD, trauma surgeon and the Trauma Program Medical Director at Penn Medicine's Level 1 Trauma Center, discusses life-threatening bleeding and the use of tranexamic acid (TXA), a medication that helps control bleeding after trauma which has been used to treat bleeding on a wide varity of patients in the operating room and Emergency Department. • • It has the greatest impact of survival on the patients who are bleeding the most, Dr. Kim explains. In one study, TXA improved survival by 14% -- which is remarkable for any single medical treatment. TXA is an important part of our Trauma Center strategy to stop bleeding and save lives. Although it's not a replacement for blood transfusion or prompt surgery, it is an important addition to these treatments.
