The risk of thromboembolic events with early intravenous 2‐ and 4‐g bolus dosing of tranexamic acid compared to placebo in patients with severe traumatic bleeding: A secondary analysis of a randomized, double‐blind, placebo‐controlled, single‐center trial

Screening for the risk of thromboembolism (TE) due to tranexamic acid (TXA) in patients with severe traumatic injury has not been performed in randomized clinical trials. Our objective was to determine if TXA dose was independently‐associated with thromboembolism.
