BET 3: Topical intranasal tranexamic acid for spontaneous epistaxis.
- Lee Hilton and Adam Reuben.
- Emerg Med J. 2014 May 1;31(5):436-7.
AbstractA short-cut review was carried out to establish whether topical tranexamic acid can be used to treat spontaneous epistaxis. Thirty-three papers were found, of which two presented the best evidence to answer the clinical question. The author, date and country of publication, patient group studied, study type, relevant outcomes, results and study weaknesses of these best papers are tabulated. The clinical bottom line is that there is insufficient evidence to support the use of topical intranasal tranexamic acid in the management of spontaneous epistaxis in haemodynamically stable patients presenting to the emergency department.Published by the BMJ Publishing Group Limited.
