- Abstract
This article presents a case study of a patient who developed a life-threatening subglottic thrombus after receiving nebulized tranexamic acid (TXA) for postoperative hemoptysis following CO2 laser wedge excision of subglottic stenosis. While other factors may have contributed to the bleeding and thrombus formation, the rapid deterioration of the patient after receiving nebulized TXA suggests a direct effect. The authors recommend implementing an airway action plan for the use of TXA in patients with postoperative hemorrhage following otolaryngology procedures. This case highlights the potential risks and benefits of nebulized TXA in patients with bleeding from the larynx or trachea.
