tors are plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 (PAI-1), plasminogen activator inhibitor-2 (PAI-2), and α2-antiplasmin
(A2AP). A2AP acts to irreversibly inactivate plasmin by a
suicide inhibition mechanism [15]. However, when plasmin
is bound to brin, it is protected from this inhibition and can
allow brinolysis [16]. PAI-1 and PAI-2 inhibit both tPA and
uPA.However, PA-2 is only present in appreciable quantities
during pregnancy [17]. C1-esterase inhibitor,
α2-macroglobulin, and other aspects of the contact pathway
of the coagulation cascade also represent less prominent
non-serpin plasmin inhibitors.
Thrombin-activated brinolysis inhibitor (TAFI) is activated by thrombomodulin-associated thrombin. It is a carboxypeptidase that removes C-terminal lysine and arginine
residues on brin. By doing so, it can decrease the number of
available plasminogen-binding sites and help stabilize clots
[18]. TAFI may play a key role in regulating the interplay
between inammation and coagulation [18, 19].
Measuring Fibrinolysis
The development of methods to assess brinolytic activity
has lagged behind the progress seen in coagulation testing,
which is standardized for routine high-throughput screening
[20]. Fibrinolysis, in normal blood and conditions, may take
hours or days to develop and limits its clinical applications
[21]. Coagulation reactions (international normalized ratio
(INR) and activated partial thromboplastin time (APTT), for
example) can take only seconds to minutes to run. To facilitate the assessment of brinolysis, one must add plasminogen activators or remove inhibitors. However, this will limit
the applicability to an invivo scenario [20]. No “gold standard” assay exists to assess brinolytic activity, and the
various methods available can be grouped according to a
sample from whole blood, plasma, or euglobulin fraction of
plasma [22].
Whole blood preparations are useful in that they can represent truly “global” activity, as the cellular components of
blood have a signicant impact on coagulation and brinolysis [22]. These samples are often used perioperatively by
point-of-care testing. However, this approach is limited by
assay standardization, storage issues, the absence of endothelium, and the inability to use the sample in other types of
assays [22]. The most studied perioperative tool to measure
brinolysis is thromboelastography. This test is performed
with a thromboelastograph (TEG) or rotation thromboelastometery (ROTEM) by measuring viscoelastic changes in
whole blood over time with the addition of different activators like tissue factor and kaolin [22]. Thromboelastography
can assess coagulation parameters but can also be modied
to reect any endogenous brinolytic activity. In ROTEM,
maximal lysis reects the percent decrease of maximal
amplitude over time. Small decreases can be due to tapering
of the clot, allowing additional rotation of the sample [10,
22]. Maximal lysis of greater than 15% could indicate hyper-
brinolysis, whereas greater than 3% is an important benchmark to initiate antibrinolytic therapy in trauma [23, 24].
TEG and ROTEM are the most frequently utilized tools to
assess brinolysis in trauma patients and have become
increasingly popular [25]. However, there is controversy
regarding the need to assess brinolysis in these patients
given the frequent use of pre-emptive antibrinolytic therapy
[10, 26]. Studies have suggested that they lack sensitivity to
detect small changes in brinolytic activation, and there is
questionable evidence to suggest that they would be helpful
to guide antibrinolytic therapy [10, 26].
Plasma turbidity methods rely on the measurement of
changes in optical density after the initiation of coagulation.
Fibrin formation and lysis are reected by the optical density
[18]. A common method utilized to measure brinolytic and
coagulation activity is overall hemostasis potential. The
assay relies on spectrophotometer readings in two sets of
wells containing platelet-free plasma mixed with
phosphatidylserine- containing phospholipids, calcium chloride, and tissue factor [22]. The other sample of wells has the
addition of tPA.The readout will give an overall hemostasis
potential and overall coagulation potential, allowing calculation of the overall brinolysis potential. Clot lysis time, the
time from 50% of maximal clotting to 50% lysis, can also be
obtained [27]. The overall brinolysis potential and clot lysis
time can give insight for determining pro hemorrhagic and
pro thrombotic states.
Lastly, the euglobulin fraction of plasma has been known
for its strong brinolytic activity. It has greatly reduced
amounts of PAI-1 with preserved levels of plasminogen activators when compared to untreated platelet free plasma [28].
This rebalanced plasminogen activator: PA-1 ratio allows the
measurement of intrinsic brinolytic activity without exogenous activators [22]. The classic test is the euglobulin clot
lysis time, which is a visual recording of the time it takes the
euglobulin fraction to completely lyse [22].
Antibrinolytic Agents
By the 1950s, the amino acid lysine was known to inhibit
the activation of plasminogen invitro, but the effect was
too weak to be clinically relevant. In efforts to reduce
maternal deaths from postpartum hemorrhage, investigations in 1953 by a Japanese team showed several mercaptoand aminocarbonic acids had antiplasminic effect [29].
During this work, they showed that epsilon-aminocaproic
acid (EACA) was a strong inhibitor of plasminogen. EACA
had been used clinically before this time, but the antiplasminic effect was not potent enough and required large

doses. In 1962 a more potent compound was found:
4-amino-methyl-cyclohexane-carbonic acid [30]. The compound contains two stereoisomers of which the trans-form
was discovered to be antibrinolytic (trans-4-aminomethylcyclohexanecarboxylic acid). This substance is now
known as tranexamic acid (TXA) [31, 32]. EACA and TXA
are synthetic lysine analogs that inhibit brinolysis by
attaching to the lysine- binding site of the plasmin(ogen)
molecule and displacing plasminogen from brin. TXA
was found to be about 6–10 times more potent than EACA
while also better tolerated [29]. Of countries that incorporate TXA into clinical practice, the United States has most
strongly adapted the use of EACA, likely related to costs
and early availability [10].
Aprotinin is another antibrinolytic which acts as a broadspectrum protease inhibitor. First isolated in cow parotid
glands in 1930, its rst clinical use was in treating of hyperbrinolytic conditions, notably pancreatitis [33]. In the early
1980s, the Kirkland group in Alabama began using aprotinin
in an attempt to attenuate the inammatory response after
protamine administration. The surgical eld was found to be
unusually dry after cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB), which
led to a trial-and-error approach to developing aprotinin pro-
tocols and the further study of its interaction with the brinolytic system [34]. By 1993, aprotinin was approved by the
FDA for use in coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG).
Widespread use of aprotinin to reduce perioperative blood
loss and transfusions also became popular in major orthopedic and hepatic surgery.
Other potential antibrinolytic agents, not approved for
clinical use, include nafamostat, MDCO-2010, and textilinins from Pseudonaja textilis [10]. The three clinically used
agents will be reviewed as follows.
Tranexamic Acid
TXA is a synthetic lysine analog with a molecular weight of
157Da that reversibly and competitively blocks the lysinebinding site on plasminogen, hence inhibiting brinolysis.
Plasminogen is believed to have 4–5 low-afnity binding
sites and one high-afnity binding site. TXA acts on the
high-afnity binding site [35, 36].
The pharmacokinetics will vary based on the route of
administration and overall renal function. TXA is produced
under several brand names (see Table5.1) and can be admin-

istered intravenous (IV), intramuscular, oral, and topical. IV
administration of a 10mg/kg bolus gives a plasma concentration of 10mg/L [37]. Additionally, the half-life is about
80min with 30% renal elimination within the rst hour, 55%
by 3h, and 90% by 24h [38]. Oral TXA doses of 10–15mg/
kg give a peak plasma concentration within 3h [38]. In an
in vitro tissue study, it has been shown that 100mg/L of
TXA will reduce brinolytic activity by 98–100% [39]. TXA
has little plasma-protein binding with minimal metabolism
[36]. It passes through the placenta and equilibrates with
fetal blood levels, with no adverse effects on the fetus. TXA
is present in breast milk but at a concentration 100 times less
than found in maternal blood, and does not have any effects
on breast-fed babies [37, 40].
IV dosing can range from 0.5 to 25g based on patient and
clinical conditions and must be adjusted for renal insufciency [10]. In earlier work, Nillson etal. describes a dose of
10mg/kg IV, 3–4 times hourly, in the treatment of systemic
brinolysis with massive bleeding [37]. In a landmark study
of TXA, the Clinical Randomization of an Antibrinolytic in
Signicant Hemorrhage (CRASH-2) trial analyzed a group
with major bleeding after severe trauma to receive a loading
dose of 1g IV followed by an infusion of 1g over 8h [41].
In pediatric (less than 12-years-old) trauma, an expert consensus would dose TXA in a similar matter as adults at
15mg/kg (maximum 1g) followed by an infusion of 2mg/
kg/h for at least 8h until bleeding stops [42].
For the treatment of heavy menstrual bleeding, the
U.S.Food and Drug Administration (FDA) recommends oral
TXA (Lysteda; Ferring-Parsippany, New Jersey) 1.3g, three
times daily for up to vedays [43]. Several other European
agencies have similar protocols for oral TXA.Oral TXA formulation should be given 2h before any indicated surgical
procedure.
Side effects are uncommon, and TXA has had a strong
safety record. Mild nausea and diarrhea have been observed
in a high-dose trial of TXA, but improve with a diminished
dose [44]. Macroscopic hematuria from the upper renal tract
is often considered a contraindication to TXA due to the risk
of clot burden and ureteral obstruction. There are reports of
acute renal cortical necrosis with oliguria and renal failure
caused by TXA [29]. Patients on estrogens that have additional risk factors for thrombosis should take caution; however, evidence is lacking. Absolute contraindications include
hypersensitivity, active thromboembolic disease, and brinolytic conditions with consumption coagulopathy.
Epsilon-Aminocaproic Acid
EACA is a synthetic, highly water-soluble crystal with a
molecular weight of 131Da that acts as a lysine analog. Both
EACA and TXA act to block the conversion of plasminogen
to plasmin resulting in the inhibition of brinolysis. Its volume of distribution is about 30L with IV dosing, and max
serum concentrations are reached in 10min [
eventually distributes throughout both intravascular and
extravascular compartments while penetrating blood and tissues [46]. Total body clearance is 169ml/min, and terminal
half-life is about 2h [47–49].
Studies evaluating IV EACA of 10g or 100 mg/kg in
humans produced an initial concentration of about 1.5g/L
that decreased to 35mg/L within 3–4h, with 80–100% eliminated by urine ltration [10]. Patients with renal failure have
markedly decreased total body clearance, and only 25% can
be removed via hemodialysis [50]. EACA undergoes rapid
excretion in the urine and thus needs to be administered as an
IV infusion to achieve therapeutic levels. Studies have identied that an EACA concentration of about 130mcg/mL is
required to inhibit systemic brinolytic activity. These studies recommend a dose of 0.1g/kg bodyweight every 3–4h or
an initial loading dose of 10g to be followed by a continuous
infusion of 1g/h [
brain barrier, but it is unclear whether it crosses the placenta
or distributes in breast milk [46].
EACA is predominantly administered IV, with some case
reports describing topical use [51, 52]. There are no standard
guidelines for EACA dosing, and many dosing protocols
have been developed for perioperative use. Like TXA, EACA
has been studied most extensively in cardiac surgery. EACA
protocols have shown reduced chest tube drainage following
cardiac surgery, making EACA a preferred drug in many
institutions in the United States [46].
Most safety concerns of EACA are based on the potential
for promoting a prothrombotic state through action on the
brinolytic pathway. Reports of adverse events are from isolated case reports or low-powered studies. To date, no trial
has been able to show a signicant difference in thrombotic
events when compared to TXA or aprotinin [46]. Caution
should always be taken when considering the mechanism of
the drug and any pre-existing patient coagulopathies. Overall,
EACA is well tolerated.

45]. The drug
Aprotinin
Aprotinin is a naturally occurring 58 amino acid polypeptide, with a molecular weight of 6512 Da, isolated from
bovine lung but currently manufactured by recombinant
technology. It is a serine protease inhibitor with its antibrinolytic effect via direct noncompetitive inhibition of plasmin. The structure is similar to tissue factor pathway
inhibitor, and its dosing is calculated in kallikrein-inhibiting
units [10]. Aprotinin may falsely elevate or prolong partial

thromboplastin time and celite-activated clotting time (ACT)
measurements. Therefore these should not be used to monitor heparin anticoagulation during surgery. If ACT monitoring is necessary after aprotinin administration, a minimal
ACT of 750s or kaolin-ACT of 480s is recommended by the
European Society of Anesthesiology task force [33].
Due to its nonspecic nature, aprotinin is also an inhibitor
of trypsin, chymotrypsin, platelet protease-activated receptor- 1, and kallikrein. The inhibition of protease-activated
receptor-1 is a possible mechanism for stroke reduction during cardiac surgery after aprotinin administration [10].
Additionally, aprotinin inactivates free plasmin but does not
greatly affect bound plasmin. Aprotinin is renally excreted
with a plasma half-life of 150min and an elimination halflife of 5–10h after lysosomal enzyme metabolization [53].
In the mid-2000s, concerning reports regarding the safety
of aprotinin were widely published, which suggested multiple adverse events and increase in 5-year mortality [46]. By
2006, the FDA added renal dysfunction, stroke, graft occlusion, and anaphylaxis to aprotinin’s list of safety issues [33].
Further research in 2007 gave conicting evidence surrounding aprotinin’s safety but only cast doubt on the drug.
In 2008, the Blood Conservation Using Antibrinolytics
in a Randomized Trial (BART) was published [54]. This
blinded, randomized controlled trial (RCT) compared aprotinin, TXA, and EACA in patients undergoing high-risk cardiac surgery. The trial was stopped by the safety committee
in October 2007 due to nonsignicant increased mortality
associated with aprotinin. Results from BART, previous
studies, and the FDA warning led to the withdrawal of aprotinin from the United States in late 2007 and from Canada
and Europe in 2008. Subsequent criticism and reanalysis of
the data eventually convinced Health Canada in 2011 to
allow aprotinin for patients undergoing isolated CABG.The
European Medicines Agency also lifted its suspension in the
European Union in 2012 but enforced the establishment of a
European registry for aprotinin use [55]. Aprotinin is currently available in the United Kingdom, the Netherlands,
Sweden, and Canada.
Perioperative Considerations
Cardiac Surgery
Cardiac surgery is the most studied area in the brinolytic
literature. TXA became key in antibrinolytic therapy after
its comparative safety was shown in the BART trial, and has
been extensively examined in cardiac surgery, CPB, or offpump [54]. TXA has been consistently shown to be efcacious in reducing blood loss and transfusion requirements
during cardiac surgery. The Society of Thoracic Surgeons
and the Society of Cardiovascular Anesthesiologists blood
conservation guidelines strongly (class IA) recommend the
use of TXA or EACA in cardiac surgery [
There is no optimal dose of TXA, and large variations in
dosing recommendations have been cited. In a prospective,
double-blinded dosing study on CPB by Horrow etal. [57],
148 patients were given placebo, while ve groups received
TXA IV with a loading dose before incision (2.5–40mg/kg)
and followed by infusion of one-tenth the loading dose for
12h. A major nding was a signicant reduction in chest
tube drainage from the patients who received a 10mg/kg
loading with additional maintenance dose (now referred to as
the “Horrow low dose” regimen). However, TXA did not
change transfusion requirements. Increasing the dosage (20
and 40mg/kg bolus) did not provide additional reductions in
bleeding. Fiechtner etal. [58] showed that a bolus 10mg/kg
dose followed by an infusion of 1mg/kg/h gave a TXA concentration sufcient to inhibit brinolytic activity invitro.
Dowd etal. [
followed by 16mg/kg/h for 6h, and 2mg/kg added to the
pump prime would get a 100% inhibition of brinolytic
activity. Using this regimen, Sharma etal. [60] found that the
mean plasma TXA concentration was consistently higher
than the previously suggested threshold.
After FDA withdrawal of aprotinin in 2007 and the implementation of TXA during cardiac surgery, there were
increased reports of postoperative generalized convulsive
seizures in the absence of new ischemic lesions on brain
imaging [10]. In retrospective analysis, it was found that
patients were receiving doses of 100 mg/kg followed by
20–50mg/kg/h with a total dose up to 259mg/kg during surgery [61]. Given concern for seizure activity at these high
doses, lower dose guideline modications were made with
30mg/kg loading followed by 15mg/kg/h plus 2mg/kg in
the CPB priming solution. It was recommended not to exceed
a maximum TXA total dose of 100mg/kg in patients over
50 years old who underwent CPB open-heart procedures
[62].
A recent, large RCT that gives the strongest evidence of
the benets of TXA in cardiac surgery is from Myles etal.
[63]. The administration of a single initial bolus of 50 or
100 mg/kg of TXA was associated with a decreased incidence of transfusion of RBCs and other blood products and a
reduction of redo surgery for major hemorrhage for tamponade. The incidence of seizures was 0.7% with TXA-treated
patients compared to 0.1% of patients given placebo.
TXA has also been specically studied for use in offpump CABG, with several studies showing a reduction in
perioperative bleeding when compared to placebo without
increased thrombotic complications [46].

Tranexamic Acid andtheRisk ofSeizures
Seizures are a major concern with the use of TXA as they
have been an associated complication with cardiac surgery.
A recent meta-analysis of 28 RCTs of TXA administration,
in patients undergoing CABG, found an increase in the incidence of postoperative seizures with a relative risk of 6.67
[64]. The mechanism for the increased risk of seizures is
unknown but may involve the competitive antagonism of
TXA on hippocampal gamma-aminobutyric acid type A
(GABA/A) and the glycine receptor [65]. TXA, GABA, and
glycine have similar molecular structures. The proconvulsant
properties of TXA are likely via direct effects on the central
nervous system, as the application of TXA in experimental
animal models will cause systemic, as well as intracranial,
hypertension, and seizures [66]. Case reports have found that
maximal TXA concentrations from the cerebral spinal uid
occurred after the termination of drug infusion [65]. EACA
has not been known to cause seizure activity, although there
is inadequate data.
The incidence of seizures associated with TXA is likely
dose-related, particularly with doses greater than 50mg/kg
[67]. Studies have shown that predictors of seizure activity
include: open chamber cardiac surgery, advanced age, female
sex, redo surgery, ascending aortic disease, deep hypothermic circulatory arrest, cross-clamp time, chronic renal dysfunction, and TXA [68–71]. It has been speculated that
cerebral emboli causing local blood-brain barrier disturbances leading to seizure activity could be an alternate or
contributory mechanism for these ndings. In other scenarios, such as TXA loading in menstrual or traumatic bleeding,
seizure activity is much less signicant [10, 72].
Although shown to occur, the signicance of seizures
associated with cardiac surgery and TXA is not known. A
Japanese database of pediatric cardiac surgeries showed a
signicant increase in the incidence of seizures (1.6% versus
0.2%) in patients who received TXA but no difference in outcomes [73]. In contrast, Myles etal. [63] showed an increased
incidence of stroke and death associated with TXA.Overall,
it is unclear if TXA is the direct cause of stroke after cardiac
surgery or if it only enables other mechanisms to exert their
effects on the central nervous system.
Trauma, theRole ofFibrinolysis, andTraumatic
Brain Injury
Trauma and traumatic bleeding is a leading cause of death
and disability worldwide, with an estimated 400,000 deaths
every year [74]. The past decade has seen the growing popularity of utilizing antibrinolytic agents in traumatic bleeding after the CRASH-2 and Military Application of
Tranexamic Acid in Trauma Emergency Resuscitation Study
(MATTERs) trials [
mark studies, TXA was added to the World Health
Organization’s list of essential medicines.
The CRASH-2 trial was a randomized trial to evaluate the
effects of TXA in 20,211 adult trauma subjects who experienced or were at risk of signicant bleeding. Subjects were
randomized within 8h of injury to 1g IV over 10min followed by a 1g infusion over 8h, or matching placebo. The
primary outcome was 28-day in-hospital mortality. All-cause
mortality was 14.5% in the treatment group and 16% in the
placebo group (RR 0.91, 95% CI 0.85–0.97, P= 0.0035).
Additionally, there was a reduction in risk of death due to
bleeding of 4.9% vs. 5.7% (RR 0.85, 95% CI 0.76–0.96,
P = 0.0077). Other cardiothoracic and thromboembolic
events were similar between the groups. There was no signicant difference in the number of transfusions or need for
surgery. Post hoc analysis of the 35% of patients that died
from bleeding suggested that the benet of TXA was greatest when injected within the rst hour after injury. However,
treatment that was started 3 h after injury paradoxically
increased the risk of death from bleeding.
CRASH-2 was the rst trial to demonstrate a mortality
benet using TXA in trauma, however, the results were controversial considering these results were not obtained in the
setting of an advanced trauma network [
cerns about subjects being treated in facilities with limited
resources, no protocols for identifying thromboembolic
events, and no insight into the mechanism of TXA’s protective effect. More trials are being conducted to give answers
to these lingering questions, including the Pre hospital Antibrinolytics for Traumatic Coagulopathy and Hemorrhage
(PATCH) trial [77].
The MATTERs trial was a retrospective observational
study designed to evaluate TXA in combat injury and to
assess the effects of its administration on total blood product
use, thromboembolic complications, and mortality. In the
patient group treated with TXA, there was an unadjusted inhospital mortality of 17.4% vs. 23.9% in the nonTXA-treated
group, as well as an independent association of TXA-treated
patients with greater survival and less coagulopathy.
Conicting with the CRASH-2 study, MATTERs reported an
associated increased risk of thromboembolic events in TXA
subjects, however with further analysis, no association was
found. Future studies will aim to clarify these ndings.
The concept of acute traumatic coagulopathy (ATC)
began to emerge in the literature after theorizing that another
form of coagulopathy exists in patients, unrelated to uid
and blood product administration, related to tissue injury
and bleeding [78]. During the response to traumatic injury,
there arises a primary coagulopathy that has been associated
with increased activated protein C.Shock and tissue injury
results in a large tPA release from intracellular endothelial
stores. A resultant sympathetic surge and “endotheliopathy”

with glycocalyx damage further exacerbate coagulopathy
and stimulate hyperbrinolysis [79]. Additionally, the
response is characterized by dysbrinogenemia, endothelial
dysfunction, and thrombocytopathia [80]. Hyperbrinolysis
has been identied as a signicant contributor to mortality
in adult trauma patients [76]. Although data suggests an
important role of hyperbrinolysis as a pathological cause
of bleeding, there can be individual variability in
brinolysis.
With this in mind several investigators have raised caution
to the practice of giving TXA, or other antibrinolytics, to all
trauma patients due to the concern of brinolytic shutdown,
or reduced brinolytic activity [81]. Giving TXA to these
patients may cause unwanted thrombotic effects. In one
study, Moore etal. [81] describe three brinolytic phenotypes: hyperbrinolysis, physiologic, and shutdown. Using a
TEG databank from trauma subjects presenting to the emergency department over threeyears, they grouped subjects by
lysis measurement 30min after maximum amplitude (LY30,
percent). The most common phenotype was brinolysis
shutdown (46%), while hyperbrinolysis (18%) independently increased risk of mortality (OR 3.3, 95% CI 2.4–4.6,
P<0.0001). Acute blood loss was the leading cause of death
in the hyperbrinolysis group, while multiple organ failure
was most common in brinolysis shutdown. Possible mechanisms to explain these results have been put forward, but
none have been proven invivo [82]. There is ongoing debate
concerning the relevance of brinolytic shutdown.
Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is a leading cause of death
after trauma and commonly presents with coagulopathy.
Coagulopathy is a poor prognostic indicator for patients with
TBI and is associated with hemorrhagic injury and high mortality [83]. Hyperbrinolysis is also present in these patients
with a mechanism likely similar to patients that present with
other traumas. What is known is that patients with TBI will
have increased release of tissue factor in the circulation from
injured brain tissue, temporal changes in tPA and uPA, and
depletion of antiplasmin [84]. Evidence of the efcacy of
antibrinolytics on TBI is lacking, but several trials are
attempting to address this issue. CRASH-3: tranexamic acid
for the treatment of signicant traumatic brain injury, is estimated to be completed in 2020 [85].
Orthopedics
[
87]. The total blood loss in THA averages 1600mL, depend-
ing on surgical technique. About 30% of patients receive at
least one blood transfusion with a median of 2.2units [87].
Overall, TXA is efcacious in reducing perioperative
blood loss and transfusion requirements over a range of procedures. Intraoperative dosing of TXA for joint arthroplasty
varies greatly. Many centers administer 10–15mg/kg TXA
prior to the release of the tourniquet, or prior to skin incision
for THA, followed by 1 or more repeat 10–15mg/kg boluses
3–8h later. A 2015 meta-analysis of 2720 TKA and THA
procedures found that TXA signicantly reduced blood loss
and transfusion requirements [88]. For both TKA and THA,
the number of patients receiving at least one unit of packed
red blood cells were decreased in the TXA group compared
to the control group. These results have been supported in
several studies involving TKA and THA patients [89, 90].
Having established the efcacy of TXA in major joint surgeries, Xu etal. [91] conducted a systemic review and metaanalysis of 211 publications to investigate the safety of
different routes of TXA, with a secondary aim to identify
the safest and most efcacious route of TXA.Studies were
examined with drug administration via: IV, intra-articular,
topical, oral, and their combinations. TXA via IV and topical had the lowest risk ratio (RR=0.11, 95% CI 0.03–0.41)
with all routes showing signicantly lower transfusion rates
compared to placebo.
Spine surgery has also been studied in single and multilevel procedures. A 2015 meta-analysis with a total of 644
patients concluded that TXA reduced intraoperative blood
loss by 219mL (95% CI −116mL to −322mL, P<0.05)
[92]. They did not nd an associated increased incidence of
pulmonary embolism, deep venous thrombosis, or myocardial infarction. A more recent review and meta-analysis of
TXA looking at blood loss and blood transfusion in multilevel spine surgery showed a decrease in blood loss and
transfusion compared to controls, as well as a higher hemoglobin value post-surgery [93]. The RCTs in the analysis
reviewed several different dosing regimens with many following 10–15mg/kg TXA loading dose IV with an infusion
of 1–2mg/kg/h [93]. Recent studies show promising results
utilizing high-dose TXA with a 50mg/kg loading dose IV
followed by an infusion of 5mg/kg/h. Current literature and
future studies in orthopedic surgery focus on the role of TXA
in intertrochanteric fractures, total shoulder replacement,
pediatrics, and topical TXA application.
Antibrinolytics have been studied extensively in orthopedic
surgery, particularly in the most common procedures like
total knee arthroplasty (TKA) and total hip arthroplasty
(THA). During TKA, blood loss can be signicant and under
estimated, averaging between 762 and 1789 mL in the
absence of TXA [86]. In a recent study, 25% of patients
required red blood cell transfusion with a median of 2.2units
Liver Surgery andTransplantation
Patients undergoing hepatic surgery face a unique challenge
due to potential alterations in hemostatic function leading to
coagulopathy and excess bleeding. Hemostatic function is
determined by a complex relationship between vascular

endothelium, platelets, coagulation, and brinolytic activity
[94]. Patients with compromised liver function often have
derangement in hemostasis and can develop a primary hyperbrinolysis from the inammation and trauma of surgery.
Hyperbrinolysis is particularly common during liver transplantation [95]. Early reports of hyperbrinolysis during
transplant, diagnosed by thromboelastography, spurred the
use of antibrinolytics for treatment until reports gave concern over increases in venous thromboembolism and mortality [10]. During hepatic transplantation, tPA levels increase
during the anhepatic phase due to vascular trauma and
reduced clearance. This perturbation is usually corrected
after hepatic reperfusion, as PAI-1 is released and tPA is
cleared.
RCTs have shown that TXA reduces blood loss and transfusion requirements during orthotopic liver transplantation
(OLT) by 30–40% compared to placebo [96]. Subsequently,
most liver transplant centers have developed protocols that
determine when TXA and other antibrinolytics are appropriate during transplantation. TXA use is not universal due to
lingering concerns about safety and thromboembolic complications. Large-scale safety data exist for aprotinin but are
lacking for TXA, particularly in subgroups that are low risk
for blood loss or high risk for thromboembolic complications. Additionally, there has been great change in surgical
and anesthetic technique for OLT over the last 15years that
may change blood management practices.
A propensity score matched study by Badenoch etal. [96]
looked to describe the clinical use of TXA and to appraise
effectiveness and safety. Data was collected from 1799 liver
transplant patients and retrospectively analyzed using propensity matching to account for thrombotic risk and transfusion confounders. In matched pairs, patients exposed to TXA
received less red blood cell and fresh frozen plasma transfusions. No difference in thromboembolic events were found
between matched groups. They concluded that TXA is effective in modern clinical practice. However, the magnitude of
effectiveness was reduced when compared to previous studies, possibly accounting for the improvements in modern
practice.
The efcacy of TXA in hepatic resection is less studied.
Resection is the optimal treatment for primary metastatic
liver malignancies, benign liver tumors, and some biliary
disease [94]. Like OLT, bleeding is a regular obstacle in
hepatic resections and would seem amenable to antibrinolytic therapy. A prospective, randomized trial in 2006 found
that TXA lowered blood loss and operative times in hepatic
tumor resections [97]. In a 2016 prospective cohort study, 18
patients undergoing major hepatic resection were sequentially assigned to one of three cohorts: control, TXA dose I
(1g bolus followed by 1g infusion over 8h), and TXA dose
II (1g bolus followed by 10mg/kg/h until the end of surgery)
[94]. Blood samples were collected for TEG, coagulation
components, and TXA concentration. They concluded that
there was no thromboelastographic evidence of hyperbrinolysis in these major liver resections and that TXA did not
inuence a change in systemic brinolysis. Further research
is warranted in this area.
Obstetrics
Postpartum hemorrhage (PPH) is an obstetric emergency and
the leading cause of maternal death worldwide. At delivery,
PAI-2 synthesis stops and tPA is rapidly increased, causing
hyperbrinogenemia to levels of 500–600mg/dL [29]. Based
on previous work, World Health Organization (WHO) guidelines recommend TXA in PPH if uterotonics fail to stop
bleeding, or if bleeding is thought to be from trauma [98].
However, the efcacy of TXA in this scenario is uncertain,
and a 2016 analysis of 26 RCTs was inconclusive due to poor
study design and serious aws [99]. Many of the studies used
a 1g IV dose of TXA before incision for cesarean section, or
1g IV after vaginal delivery.
A recent, large trial published in 2017 was able to add to
our understanding of TXA in PPH [100]. The study aimed to
analyze the effects of TXA on death and hysterectomy in
woman with PPH. Woman aged 16 years and older from
193hospitals in 21 countries were recruited after being diagnosed with PPH after vaginal birth or caesarean section.
Subjects were assigned to either 1g IV TXA or matching
placebo, but if bleeding persisted or restarted within 24h of
the rst dose, a second 1g dose or placebo could be given.
The composite primary endpoint was death from all-causes
or hysterectomy within 42days of giving birth. They found
that death due to bleeding was signicantly reduced in
women given TXA, especially when given within 3h of birth
where deaths were reduced by nearly one-third. There were
no signicant differences in other causes of death between
groups. Hysterectomy was not reduced with TXA, although
it did substantially reduce the number of laparotomies to
control bleeding. The composite primary endpoint of allcause mortality or hysterectomy was not reduced with TXA.
Subarachnoid Hemorrhage
When a patient suffers a subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH),
rebleeding is a signicant cause of morbidity and mortality.
Currently, the rate of rebleeding has decreased to about 15%
due to more sophisticated endovascular and surgical techniques early in the hospital course. The highest risk of
rebleed is during the rst 24h after SAH, peaking in the rst
6h. After rebleed, approximately 60% of patients will die,
and another 30% will remain dependent for activities of
daily living [101].

46
https://t.me/medicina_free
A. N. Primm
The literature supports considering a short-course use of
TXA to prevent rebleeding after SAH, with studies reporting
a reduction in rebleeding by 35–40% [46, 102, 103].
However, these studies emphasized that outcomes were
diminished by cerebral ischemia. A 2017 systematic review
to assess the evidence for the role of TXA in the treatment of
SAH and subdural hemorrhage found that TXA signicantly
reduced rebleeding in SAH patients and trended toward
reducing mortality, but did not improve Glasgow Outcome
Scale scores [104].
Initiated in 2013, the ultra-early tranexamic acid after
subarachnoid hemorrhage (ULTRA) trial will aim to determine whether ultra-early and short-term administration of
TXA (1g bolus as soon as possible after randomization followed by 1g over 8h infusion to maximum of 24h), in addition to standard SAH management will lead to better
functional outcome scores at six months [105]. The TXA
dose used in this trial will be lower than in previous studies
in an effort to prevent delayed cerebral ischemia.
Pediatrics
Antibrinolytic drugs, particularly TXA, are effective when
used in both adult and pediatric surgical patients. Prospective
RCTs in children undergoing cardiac surgery, spinal fusion,
and craniosynostosis repair have shown that IV TXA is
effective in reducing blood loss and transfusions [106].
Although without signicant evidence, TXA has been used
clinically in major pediatric plastic and maxillary procedures, organ transplantation, trauma, and major abdominal
surgeries. Additionally, the WHO, American Society of
Anesthesiologists, European Society of Anesthesiology, and
Australian National Blood Authority have comprehensive
blood management guidelines that suggest prophylactic
TXA administration.
Pharmacokinetic studies over the past 10years have elucidated TXA dosing regimens for children. These regimens
are mostly based on the assumption that plasma TXA concentrations should target between 20 and 100 mcg/
mL.However, these assumptions are based on invitro models of brinolysis inhibition, and further studies are needed
to validate this concept invivo [106].
Topical Tranexamic Acid
Given the potential benets of decreased risk of adverse
events compared to systemic TXA, there is increased interest
in utilizing the topical form of TXA [107]. When applied
topically, the plasma concentration of TXA is 90% less than
when administered IV [36]. However, local tissue drug concentrations from the topical application may also increase
the risk of adverse events. A previous Cochrane review, covering a wide range of procedures, concluded that locally
applied TXA might reduce bleeding and transfusions, but
had concerns about the lack of safety data [108].
A recent systematic review and meta-analysis were conducted to evaluate the efcacy and safety of topically administered TXA [107]. A total of 67 studies were included, the
majority of which evaluated orthopedic procedures.
Administration of topical TXA, compared to placebo, signicantly reduced the odds of receiving a blood transfusion
(OR 0.28, 95% CI 0.20–0.38; P<0.001) and signicantly
reduced mean blood loss. When compared to IV administration, there was no difference in transfusion requirements or
blood loss. There was also no difference in the odds of developing a venous thromboembolic complication between topical TXA and control groups, or the topical and IV groups.
No major differences were found between topical and systemic TXA concerning safety and efcacy. However, most of
the included trials were not powered sufciently to detect
these differences. Besides orthopedic surgery, comparisons
between systemic and topical TXA warrant further
exploration.
Conclusions
The antibrinolytic agents, particularly TXA, have been
studied widely in a variety of perioperative settings. Most
concerns about potential thromboembolic events using the
antibrinolytics have not been seen in the literature, although
many studies are underpowered to detect them. The efcacy
of aprotinin has been shown in cardiac surgery, but early
safety concerns shelved its use in the United States. The reintroduction of aprotinin in Europe, along with a large safety
registry, will be closely examined. The three described antibrinolytics had shown reduced blood loss and transfusion
rates in cardiac surgery, but concern over seizure activity in
patients treated with TXA remain. Seizures in cardiac surgery are likely related to higher dosages, and it will be
important to investigate the real impact on outcomes.
CRASH-2 was a landmark trial showing reduced mortality
in patients treated early with TXA after traumatic injury. The
controversy surrounding measuring brinolytic shutdown
and its impact on therapy is an area requiring further work.
Several on-going trials will further enlighten the use of TXA
in trauma, including CRASH-3 for traumatic brain injuries.
Orthopedic surgery has established the benets of perioperative TXA administration and continues to investigate alternate routes of administration to improve safety. Liver
transplant has clear reductions in blood loss with antibrinolytic treatment, although the magnitude of such reductions
may be explained by improved surgical and blood management practices. There is no clear evidence for improved out-

comes with TXA administration after SAH, and the results
of the ULTRA trial are highly anticipated. Death due to
bleeding is signicantly reduced in women given TXA during PPH, particularly within the rst 3h. Like adults, antibrinolytic therapy is effective in pediatric surgery, but
optimum dosages are still under investigation.
