title: Reduction of acute haemorrhage with aprotinin.
abstract: We describe the use of aprotinin in two patients to control life threatening haemorrhage due to coagulopathy when other therapeutic measures had failed. We review the use of aprotinin and give a rationale for its use in acute coagulopathy.
