Factors that influence the administration of tranexamic acid (TXA) to trauma patients in prehospital settings: a systematic review

Conclusions This review highlights an absence of high-quality research. Preliminary evidence suggests a host of system and individual-level factors that may be important in determining whether TXA is administered to trauma patients in the prehospital setting. Funding and registration This review was supported by Research Capability Funding from the South Western Ambulance Service NHS Foundation Trust and the National Institute for Health Research Applied Research Collaboration South West Peninsula. PROSPERO registration number CRD42020162943.
