Question:

Would a traumatic VSA patient meet the indications for TXA (hypotension)? I appreciate that it would not be a priority but rather if you had the extra time and resources after any other interventions and after transport. 

Answer:

TXA has not been studied on patients in cardiac arrest. Therefore, we would suggest refraining from adding this to the treatment of a Traumatic VSA patient.
