title: Management of transfusion in the massively bleeding patient.
abstract: Adequate and safe transfusion support of massively bleeding patients requires a thorough understanding of the complications of hemorrhagic shock, a well-developed system of identifying patients and blood samples, and a clearly delineated communication system between clinicians and blood bank. The support plan must also be designed to minimize the predictable complications by active intervention with blood and component therapy.
