Mist instead of knife: new spray may prevent repeat surgery for bleeding tonsils

NCT ID NCT07565753

First seen May 07, 2026 · Last updated May 07, 2026

Summary

This study tests a special mist (nebulized tranexamic acid) to stop bleeding in children after tonsil removal. About 30 kids aged 2 to 17 who come to the ER with bleeding will receive the mist. The goal is to see if this simple spray can stop bleeding without needing another surgery or blood transfusion, making recovery safer and less scary.
