According to the
World Health Organization,
trauma from
external causes remains the major
cause of death and disability among people
aged from 5 to 29 years old.1 In order to reestablish
hemodynamic stability and adequate
hemostasis of these
patients, without the dilutional effects of infusing large volumes of crystalloids, the concept of
hemostatic resuscitation was developed.2 The purpose of this
report is to discuss a case in which
hemostatic resuscitation was performed quickly, resulting in a good macro-
hemodynamic response of the
patient at the first prehospital transfusion service in
Latin America.
