Development of a nurse-led tranexamic acid administration protocol for trauma patients in rural South Africa

ConclusionsNursing staff in resource poor rural settings can use a protocol based on the South African Triage Scale and the CRASH-2 study to safely administer TXA to trauma patients. We believe this to be the first published literature on nurse-led administration of TXA. Mortality from trauma may be reduced in rural settings by the timely administration of TXA in the prehospital and rural primary healthcare settings.
