Tranexamic Acid (TXA) is a lot like hot sauce: People put it on everything — especially for apparent or suspected acute blood loss. In this podcast episode, we dive into a drug that’s been both praised and questioned in trauma and prehospital care. We break down what TXA is, how it works, and the evidence behind its use. From CRASH-2 to CRASH-3, we explore the key studies, the controversies, and the real-world implications. Whether you’re administering TXA in the back of a rig or evaluating its role in your protocols, this episode helps you make sense of when, why, and how TXA might—or might not—stop the bleeding.
