Supportive topical tranexamic acid application for hemostasis in oral bleeding events – retrospective cohort study of 542 patisents

Tranexamic acid (TXA) is widely used in the prevention of postsurgical oral bleeding. Tranexamic acid in addition to further surgical measures is widely utilized in prevention of post-surgical oral bleeding. The aim of the present study was to investigate: Can oral hemostasis be achieved by merely compression and topical application of tranexamic acid in different anticoagulant regimes among patients attending a general emergency department? Where are the limits to this procedure? Which has the greater impact on surgeons' choice for an invasive hemostatic approach—bleeding quality or oral anticoagulant therapy?
