Abstrakt

The role of successful hemostasis cannot be overemphasized. Bleeding can occur due to various reasons and its cause is not always evident. Any delay in restoring the proper hemostasis is associated with increased risk of complications and therefore results in increased mortality. Discovered in 1962 by Japanese researchers Shosuke and Utako Okamoto, tranexamic acid (TXA) is an anti-fibrinolytic agent that inhibits plasminogen activation by blocking the lysine binding sites on plasminogen. Thanks to its ability to inhibit fibrinolysis it stabilizes the preformed fibrin mesh-work and has a beneficial effect in reducing blood loss in wide range of clinical settings. TXA has been shown to reduce the risk of perioperative bleeding in patients undergoing noncardiac surgeries. CRASH trials provided the largest body of evidence confirming effectiveness of early administration of TXA, defined as administration within 3 hours after trauma, in reducing mortality in patients with severe injuries and traumatic brain injury. Recent evidence indicates that TXA administration in treatment of postpartum hemorrhage results in notable mortality reduction. Topical or locally injected tranexamic acid may reduce blood loss and improve visibility of the surgical field. More high-quality studies are needed to determine safety, efficacy and dosage. The risk of serious adverse events, especially vascular occlusive events, in patients receiving TXA compared to placebo group did not differ significantly.
