Topical Tranexamic Acid to Control Vaginal Laceration Bleeding After Sexual Assault
The Journal of Emergency Medicine(2024)
摘要
Background
Sexual assault survivors may sustain vaginal trauma that requires intervention in the emergency department, or operating room.
Case Report
We describe the case of a 16-year-old female who was referred to the ED for evaluation of continued bleeding from a vaginal laceration following sexual assault 38 hours prior. The bleeding limited the medical forensic medical examination, but she was hemodynamically stable. After the application of Tranexamic Acid (TXA)-soaked gauze, the patient's bleeding was controlled and the wound was able to be evaluated and the examination completed. Why should an emergency physician be aware of this?: To our knowledge this is the first case in the literature that describes the use of topical TXA in a patient to achieve hemostasis in a vaginal laceration sustained from sexual violence.
