- W3209884920 abstract "The usage of topical TXA has been shown in certain cases of epistaxis to reduced time to stop bleeding, rates of rebleeding, time spent in the emergency department and increased patient satisfaction. Local administration of topical TXA has since been described in various settings in emergency medicine journals. This study seeks to evaluate the use of tranexamic acid as a medication for the management of epistaxis and other superficial hemorrhages in the emergency department (ED) of local community hospitals. Retrospective review of adult ED patients from two community hospitals presenting with epistaxis or other superficial hemorrhage, treated with topical tranexamic acid (TXA) and discharged home between 2016 and 2019. Excluded from the study are traumatic nose injuries, major trauma patients, post-operative patients, and patients with incomplete data. Abstracted data included demographics, chief complaints, discharge diagnosis, history of anticoagulant use, outcome of TXA use, and 72 hours return to the ED with recurrent hemorrhage. Data analysis was performed on the index cases only. Demographics and outcomes are reported as descriptive statistics. Significance is set at 0.05 for comparison between anti-coagulation groups. There were 341 cases meeting inclusion criteria. Ten cases were excluded with four nasal trauma, three post-operative cases, and three with missing data. Nineteen case were patients returning within 72 hours, leaving 312 index cases. There were 192 cases of epistaxis and 120 cases of cutaneous (81) or mucosal (39) wounds. Overall, 48.4% of the patients were on outpatient anti-coagulants with 7.7% on two medications. The 72-hour return rate was 5.8% with 6.8% in the epistaxis group and 4.2% in the superficial wound group. Outpatient anti- coagulation did not affect 72 hours returns in epistaxis (6.5% versus 7.1%; p=0.856) but was significant in superficial wounds (11.6% return in anti-coagulant group versus 0%; p=0.002). In this four-year study of topical tranexamic acid use in two community emergency departments, 48.4% of the patients were on outpatient anti-coagulants. The 72-hour return rate for epistaxis was 6.8% and not affected by anti-coagulant use while the return rate for superficial wounds was 4.2% and impacted by anti-coagulant use. Epistaxis and superficial wound treated in the emergency department with topical tranexamic acid have a small return rate for hemorrhage control, despite outpatient anti-coagulant use.View Large Image Figure ViewerDownload Hi-res image Download (PPT)" @default.
