Local and systemic hemostatics as an adjunct to control bleeding in trauma.

Although surgical and angiointervention techniques remain the cornerstone for the management of severe bleeding after trauma, adjunct therapeutic strategies such as local or systemic hemostatic agents can play an important role. This article reviews the role and efficacy of the available hemostatic agents.
