GONZALEZ CARDENAS, Víctor Hugo. Transfusion in trauma. Rev. colomb. anestesiol. [online]. 2012, vol.40, n.4, pp.287-292. ISSN 0120-3347.  https://doi.org/10.1016/j.rca.2012.05.017.

Massive transfusion is considered a key component in the acute management of massive hemorrhage. While the existing protocols do not standardize its use, they do recommend its timely administration and a dose adjusted to the type of blood product, a proportionate ratio between hemocomponents and appropriate adjuvant drug support, in addition to techniques that promote bleeding control and prevent syndromes that could trigger a fatal outcome. This non-systematic review is intended to summarize the current concepts on the acute management of massive bleeding in trauma, from a non-surgical perspective. The search was limited to the articles of the last 10 years and included primary and secondary data basis, leading to a snowball technique.
