Official title: Early and Precise Application and Evaluation of Tranexamic Acid in Patients With Traumatic Bleeding Based on Dynamic Monitoring of Thromboelastography

Run by Nanfang Hospital, Southern Medical University · NCT06736860 · Data updated 2026-11-12

This study tests whether giving tranexamic acid in a new way, based on real-time blood monitoring, can help patients with severe trauma stop bleeding better and reduce the risk of complications.

Is this trial a fit for you?

Likely a good fit

Ideal candidates for this study are trauma patients aged 18 to 80 with severe injuries and signs of hypotension or tachycardia.

Probably not a fit

Patients with pre-existing coagulation disorders, those unable to receive TXA, or those with severe traumatic injuries like penetrating brain injury may not benefit from this study.

What this trial studies

This clinical trial investigates the effectiveness of tranexamic acid (TXA) in patients with traumatic bleeding by utilizing dynamic monitoring of coagulation status through thromboelastography (TEG). The study aims to compare the traditional TXA administration regimen with a modified approach that allows for additional doses based on real-time monitoring. By assessing the coagulation and fibrinolytic status of trauma patients, the trial seeks to optimize TXA use to reduce mortality rates while minimizing thromboembolic risks. The study focuses on patients who have experienced severe trauma and are at high risk of bleeding complications.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, this approach could significantly reduce mortality rates in trauma patients suffering from severe bleeding.

How similar studies have gone: While there have been studies on TXA use in trauma, this specific approach utilizing TEG for dynamic monitoring is novel and has not been previously reported.
