Over the past decade, the shift toward damage control surgery for bleeding trauma patients has come with an increased emphasis on optimal resuscitation. Two lifesaving priorities predominate: to quickly stop the bleed and effectively resuscitate the hemorrhagic shock. Blood is separated into components for efficient storage and distribution; however, bleeding patients require all components in a balanced ratio. A variety of blood products are available to surgeons, and these products have evolved over time. This review article describes the current standards for resuscitation of bleeding patients, including characteristics of all available products. The relevant details of blood donation and collection, blood banking, blood components, and future therapies are discussed, with the goal of guiding surgeons in their emergency transfusion practice.

We report a case of recurrent abdominal bleeding associated with vascular fragility in a 67-year-old woman with neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF-1). Computed tomography (CT) scan revealed hemorrhagic ascites and a pseudoaneurysm of the sigmoid colon artery, which was suspected to be the source of bleeding. Emergency laparotomy confirmed extremely fragile vessels, requiring repeated surgeries for recurrent bleeding.

We report the case of a 75-year-old woman who presented with fever, right back pain, paresthesia in the right extremities, erythema, purpura, and nodules. She had previously initiated dialysis due to rapidly progressive glomerulonephritis and was transferred to our hospital. Imaging studies revealed multiple cerebral and splenic infarcts and hemorrhage encapsulating the right kidney, likely due to microaneurysms in multiple renal arteries.

Background And Purpose: Lobar intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) is associated with a high risk of recurrence, particularly in elderly patients, where cerebral amyloid angiopathy (CAA) is often the primary cause. Diagnostic markers of CAA-related ICH, including subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) and finger-like projection (FLP), have recently been developed. Here, we aimed to explore the associations between SAH, FLP and the risk of ICH recurrence in lobar ICH patients.
