ABSTRACT
ABSTRACT We present a case of a 10-year-old girl shot in the thigh by a stray bullet who had a favorable outcome when treated with a multidisciplinary approach at the nearest nonpediatric level II trauma center. Point-of-care thromboelastography facilitated effective resuscitation based on her coagulation profile, minimized blood product use, and allowed for damage-control surgery to stabilize and revascularize her complex femur fracture.
