Sammendrag
Background: Tranexamic acid (TXA) reduce mortality in bleeding trauma patients, with greater efect if administered early. Serum concentrations above 10 µg/mL are considered sufcient to inhibit fbrinolysis. Normally administered intravenously (i.v.), TXA can also be administered intramuscularly (i.m.). This could be advantageous in low resource and military settings, if sufcient serum concentrations can be reached in shocked patients with reduced muscular blood perfusion. Accordingly, we aimed to: (1) Determine the impact of shock on the pharmacokinetics of i.m. TXA, and (2) Compare the pharmacokinetics of i.v. versus i.m. TXA in ongoing shock.

Materials and methods: In a prospective experimental study, N=18 Norwegian landrace pigs (40–50 kg), utilised in a surgical course in haemostatic emergency surgery, were subjected to various abdominal and thoracic trauma. After 1 h of surgery the animals were given 15 mg/kg TXA either i.v. or i.m. A control group without injury, or surgery, received intramuscular TXA. Blood samples were drawn at 0, 5, 15, 25, 35, 45, 60 and 85 min. The samples were centrifuged and analysed with liquid chromatography–tandem mass spectrometry (LC–MS/MS) for TXA serum-concentrations.

Results: In shocked pigs, i.m. administration resulted in a mean maximum serum concentration (Cmax) of 20.9 µg/mL, and i.v. administration a Cmax of 48.1 µg/mL. Cmax occurred 15 min after i.m. administration and 5 min after i.v. administration. In non-shocked swine, i.m. administration resulted in a Cmax of 36.9 µg/mL after 15 min. In all groups, mean TXA serum concentrations stayed above 10 µg/mL from administration to end of experiments.

Conclusions: I.m. administration of TXA in shocked pigs provides serum concentrations associated with inhibition of fbrinolysis. It may be an alternative to i.v. and intraosseous administration during stabilisation and transport of trauma patients to advanced medical care.
