Intervention / Comparator Agent  
Type  Name  Details 
Comparator Agent  Intravenous tranexamic acid arm   The IV arm would receive 500 mg of tranexamic acid intravenously slowly over 15 mins followed by 500mg TA iv TDS. The patients would be advised to collect hemoptysis in a measuring cup and the amount of bleed in 12 and 24 hours would be collected. 
Intervention  Nebulised tranexamic acid arm  Nebulised arm would receive 500mg(5ml) of nebulized TA mixed with 5 ml of distilled water stat followed by 500mg TA nebulised TDS . The osmolarity of TA is 680mOsm/Kg and when diluted with 5 ml of distilled water is 320mOsm/Kg, making iso- osmolar to plasma. The patients would be advised to collect hemoptysis in a measuring cup and the amount of bleed in 12 and 24 hours would be collected.

Brief Summary  
This study is a Parallel randomized (non- blinded) single-centered study and will be conducted at Emergency Department of All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS), New Delhi comparing the effects of nebulised vs intravenous tranexamic acid in patients with hemoptysis presenting to the emergency department. 25 patients will be recurited in each arm. The IV arm would receive 500 mg of tranexamic acid intravenously slowly over 15 mins followed by 500mg TA iv TDS and Neb. arm would receive 500mg(5ml) of nebulized TA mixed with 5 ml of distilled water stat followed by 500mg TA iv TDS . The osmolarity of TA is 680mOsm/Kg and when diluted with 5 ml of distilled water is 320mOsm/Kg, making iso-osmolar to plasma. The patients would be advised to collect hemoptysis in a measuring cup and the amount of bleed in 12 and 24 hours in both the arms would be collected.
All treatment decision will be taken by the treating physician, including need for intervention. The patients who undergo intervention would be treated as intention to treat analysis.The primary outcome is Cessation of bleeding in patients presenting to ED with active hemoptysis at 30 minutes after initiation of treatment. And secondary objectives are 
1. Need for urgent interventional procedures – Bronchoscopy and bronchial artery embolization(BAE).
2. Reduction in volume of hemoptysis at 6, 12 and 24 hours after presenting to Emergency department(ED).
