Episode 36! In this episode we talk about tranexamic acid in GI bleeds. We flip the script a little bit and talk about our OLD article first, HALT-IT or "Tranexamic acid in upper gastrointestinal bleed in patients with cirrhosis: A randomized controlled trial" published in Lancet in 2020. This sets the stage for our new trial "Tranexamic acid in upper gastrointestinal bleed in patients with cirrhosis" published in Kumar et al in Hepatology (a new journal for us!)
