The Use of Tranexamic Acid for Acute Abnormal Uterine Bleeding in the Emergency Department.

Abstract

Acute abnormal uterine bleeding is a frequent reason for emergency department visits and, in severe cases, can become life-threatening. Tranexamic acid is a potential treatment option. However, its use in this setting remains under-researched. The Research to Practice column critically evaluates a recent study and translates its findings, within the context of a clinical case, into actionable changes for emergency care. This article examines the conclusions drawn from a comprehensive literature review and an international expert panel, aiming to establish consensus recommendations for managing acute menorrhagia and providing evidence-based guidance to healthcare professionals.
