RESUMO

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.
