 R)\nAbstract:\n\nPostpartum hemorrhage (PPH) remains the leading cause of 
 maternal mortality worldwide\, with 20% of cases occurring in women withou
 t identifiable risk factors. This underscores the need for physicians to d
 iagnose and treat PPH effectively. Evidence indicates that tranexamic acid
  (TXA) reduces bleeding-related deaths\; however\, its use for PPH prophyl
 axis and management varies among anesthesia providers. Despite identifiabl
 e risk factors for PPH\, predicting patient response to uterotonics alone 
 is challenging. With TXA's antifibrinolytic properties\, its global applic
 ation can significantly enhance maternal outcomes. An electronic survey\, 
 consisting of 27 questions (16 multiple-choice\, five Likert-scale\, and s
 ix demographic)\, was distributed to OB anesthesia providers at Atrium Hea
 lth CMC and Pineville via REDCap. The survey assessed knowledge of TXA use
  in PPH across three topics: TXA in vaginal vs. cesarean deliveries\, prop
 hylactic use of TXA\, and treatment of PPH with TXA. The average correct r
 esponse rate was 54.5%\, with participants answering 8.72 out of 16 questi
 ons correctly. Anesthesia providers ranked themselves on a likert scale as
  “likely” to administer TXA in cases of PPH after vaginal delivery. Ne
 arly half of respondents (44%) reported being neutral or unlikely to ident
 ify high-risk parturients\, and 34% were neutral or unlikely to administer
  prophylactic TXA when indicated. When anesthesia providers were asked if 
 they were educated on TXA’s use in PPH\, the average respondent felt “
 neutral” or “disagreed”. In conclusion\, knowledge and practice gaps
  exist\, suggesting that CMC and Pineville anesthesia providers would bene
 fit from further education regarding the use of TXA in PPH.
