Our study supports nebulized TXA as an effective, non-invasive mode of hemostasis in patients presenting to the emergency department for post-tonsillectomy hemorrhage.

Otolaryngologists should consider addition of this novel treatment appropriation of TXA to their management options for postoperative tonsillar hemorrhage.
