A case is reported of management of massive intraoperative blood loss in a male patient with severe hemophilia. Extirpation of hip pseudotumor with one-stage osteosynthesis with an intramedullary joint-pin in a 43 year old male patient was accompanied with 7.5 l blood loss.

Background: Colloid plasma expanders are used to maintain blood pressure and ensure tissue perfusion during hypovolemia, e.g., caused by traumatic bleeding.

Background: The biochemical mechanisms causing dilutional coagulopathy following infusion of hydroxyethyl starch 130/0.4 (HES) are not known in detail.
Objectives: To give a detailed biochemical description of the mechanism of coagulopathy following 30%in vivo dilution with HES, to present a systematic ex vivo test of various hemostatic agents, and to investigate the hypothesis that acquired fibrinogen deficiency constitutes the most important determinant of the coagulopathy.

Summary Background: Infusion of artificial colloids such as hydroxyethyl starch (HES) induces coagulopathy to a greater extent than simple dilution. Several studies have suggested that the coagulopathy could be corrected by substitution with a fibrinogen concentrate.
Objectives: The aims of the present prospective, randomized, placebo-controlled trial were to investigate the hemostatic effect of a fibrinogen concentrate after coagulopathy induced by hydroxyethyl starch in patients experiencing sudden excessive bleeding during elective cystectomy.
