Star City EMS carrying new life saving medication

DID YOU KNOW?

Did you know that Star City EMS now carries Tranexamic Acid otherwise known as TXA? TXA is an optional medication approved by the West Virginia Office of Emergency Medical Services that is an antifibrinolytic agent which has been shown to reduce overall mortality and death due to bleeding among severely injured patients when administered within the first 3 hours following a trauma. Star City EMS is proud to carry this potentially lifesaving medication on all our EMS units.
