Abstract:
We report on a case of successful management of a patient with abdominal aortic rupture requiring massive blood transfusion during the peri-operative period. The patient had fully recovered 19 days after the operation, through intra-operative cardiac arrest and massive transfusion. We analyze a process of blood transfusion and related complications resulting from massive transfusion in order to establish a treatment for peri-operative patients with hypovolemic shock.
