​Hello Everyone,

I am looking for anyone who will share their thoughts on this medication and their protocol.  We are experiencing lack of information on how to give it, do we give a bronchodilator pre med?  I would appreciate any feedback!!

We recently had an issue with the nebulized administration of TXA. Our physicians were ordering it for Epistaxis and not Hemoptysis. Under what conditions are you administering?

Do you have a policy that covers your therapists to administer this treatment?

We do use it in our ER. No pre-brochodialtor given. This is our dosing per pharmacy who initiated it's use.
