sing kitchen scales, carefully weight out four kilograms of rice and pour it into a deep saucepan. Now put your hands into the rice and let the grains run between your fingers. Contemplate carefully each grain. The number of grains (about 140 000) is approximately the number of lives that could be saved each year world-wide if all hospitalized trauma patients with significant bleeding were treated with tranexamic acid (TXA) within three hours of injury. TXA is cheap and widely available. All that is needed to reap these human benefits is that doctors use it. That TXA is a potent inhibitor of fibrinolysis was first reported by Shosuke and Utako Okamoto in The Keio Journal of Medicine in September 1962.1 Since then, TXA has been widely used to treat heavy menstrual bleeding and to reduce blood loss in elective surgery where it reduces blood transfusion by about one-third.2 The CRASH-2 collaborators hypothesized that TXA might also reduce bleeding in trauma patients. The CRASH-2 trial was a UK government funded randomized trial of the effects of the early administration of TXA on death, vascular occlusive events and blood transfusion in bleeding trauma patients. A total of 20 211 adults with significant traumatic bleeding were randomized to receive either TXA or matching placebo, with 99.6% follow-up. The risk of death due to bleeding was significantly reduced
