Abstract

This study describes the use of tranexamic acid associated with other measures in the initial approach to contain bleeding in a situation of hemorrhagic shock in a trauma patient. The case describes the care of a young man with multiple thorax punctures by a melee weapon, quickly progressing to a condition of severe shock, in addition to the action of a helicopter emergency medical team supporting the patient's transportation from a low-complexity emergency care unit to a specialized unit.
