If recently injured patients with serious bleeding were to

receive a cheap, widely available and easily administered drug
to help their blood to clot, tens of thousands of lives could be
saved every year. The CRASH-2 trial was a large, randomised
President Elect
trial involving over 20,211 adult patients in 274 hospitals
across 40 countries. Over 4760 patients and their families from
84 hospitals in India participated in this research. The results

of the international CRASH-2, trial, show that early
administration of tranexamic acid (TXA) to patients with recent,
severe bleeding injuries saves lives, with no evidence ofadverse effects from unwanted clotting. An hour can make the

difference between life and death when using tranexamic acid
to treat injured patients with severe bleeding. New analysis
of the CRASH-2 trial shows that rapid treatment preferably
within an hour of injury dramatically cuts bleeding deaths in
injured patients. This discovery, published in The Lancet, has

significant implications for Indian patients. Approximately
85,000 people die in India every year from severe traumatic
bleeding. Giving tranexamic acid to patients within the firsthour of injury could save the lives of 12,500 patients every year. Members Sanjay Kumar
Administration of tranexamic acid reduced mortality by around
10%.Early treatment (within an hour of injury) reduced the risk
of death due to bleeding by more than 30%. Treatment given
between one and three hours cuts the risk of bleeding deathby 20% but there was no benefit if treatment was delayed
