Send us Fan Mail

🧪 Study:

TXA within 2 hrs of ICH did not reduce hematoma expansion.

No benefit in functional outcome or mortality.

⚠️ Note:

Slight ↑ in thromboembolic events (3% vs 1%).

🧩 Clinical Takeaway:

No routine use for TXA in spontaneous ICH.

Still potential niche use in select trauma cases.
