NAVARRO SUAY, R. et al. Use of blood components, medications and procedures for the hemorrhage treatment in the military environment. Sanid. Mil. [online]. 2013, vol.69, n.2, pp.87-94. ISSN 1887-8571.  https://dx.doi.org/10.4321/S1887-85712013000200005.

The bleeding control is one of the topics in military medicine. Hemorrhagic shock is the leading cause of preventable death in combat and is a challenge in medical logistics. The objective of this study is to analyze the concept and physiopathology of the hemorrhage, describing blood components (packed red blood cells, platelets, whole blood, blood components and frozen blood components), medications (fibrinogen, prothrombin complex, recombinant activated factor VII and tranexamic acid) and procedures (tactical hemorrhage control, damage control surgery, damage control resuscitation and thromboelastometry) that can be employed to control bleeding in the military environment.
