Abstract: Severe trauma is one of leading causes of death and injury in Europe. Administration of tranexamic acid (TXA), and blood products, in life-threatening traumatic shock has been already proven to be beneficial [1,2]. At our institution a massive transfusion protocol (MTP) has been developed. On scene triggering criteria are immediate administration of one TXA gram intravenously on scene, and alerting destination hospital for immediate availability need of ready blood products at arrival.
