Topical application of tranexamic acid (injectable) in orthopedic surgeries and in ED for nosebleeds

Good morning,
Does anyone have a protocol for these indications? This is being done in our health centre (IWK Health, Halifax Nova Scotia). We are a centre which serves pediatric and Women's health population.
In this case it appears that our pediatric ORs and Emergency departments are using.
Any input would be much appreciated.
Best Regards,
Carol
