Podcast 873: Intravesical Tranexamic Acid for Gross Hematuria

Podcast 873: Intravesical Tranexamic Acid for Gross Hematuria

Contributor: Aaron Lessen MD

Educational Pearls:

  • Tranexamic acid (TXA) is a common medication to achieve hemostasis in a variety of conditions

  • Patients visiting the ED for gross hematuria (between March 2022 and September 2022) were treated with intravesical TXA

    • 1 g tranexamic acid in 100 mL NS via Foley catheter

    • Clamped Foley for 15 minutes

    • Subsequent continuous bladder irrigation, as is standard in most EDs

  • Compared with a cohort of patients visiting the ED for a similar concern between March 2021 and September 2021, the TXA patients had:

    • A shorter median length of stay in the ED (274 min vs. 411 mins, P < 0.001).

    • A shorter median duration of Foley catheter placement (145 min vs. 308 mins, P < 0.001)

    • Fewer revisits after ED discharge (2.3% vs. 12.3%, P = 0.031)
