King County TXA trial

I don't quite see the "ethical dilemma" the headline implies exists, but I'm glad to see they're working on a trial. Looking forward to hearing about more results.
 
Yeah I really did not care about the "ethical dilemma" but it was the best article that I could find talking about the TXA trial. I'm going to ask around and see if it is going to be county wide or just Seattle.
 
I've heard more about using it in rural EMS with longer time to surgery, so I'd be curious about only Seattle or King County as well.
 
And NJ

I guess I can see why a layperson would be nervous about "experimental" therapies being performed on them as opposed to what they assume to be tried and true evidence based practice. This is darkly amusing given the lack of good evidence for some EMS interventions.

That being said , I imagine most people would not have much of an issue with this study and the article is likely trying to increase viewership with some controversy.

Richmond, Indy and St Louis are in too, right?

I think Richmond is part of the COMBAT study, and I don't think they'd be able do that and a TXA study at the same time.
