| Abstrakt: | Abstract: Tranexamic acid is an inexpensive antifibrinolytic treatment that reduces morbidity and mortality in civilian and military trauma patients. It must be administered within 3 hours of the injury, and its efficacy is greater the earlier it is given. It is already used preventively in the civilian environment in a number of indications to reduce bleeding and bleeding-related mortality. We wondered about the potential benefits of preventive oral administration of tranexamic acid prior to an assault for military personnel with a potential risk of injury.
