[Management of massive bleeding in 2013: seven questions and answers].

Abstract
The management of massive bleeding has improved, thanks to high-quality blood components and new transfusion strategies. However, it remains controversial and, despite a huge body of literature, randomised control trials are still lacking. However, the therapeutic approach has also evolved, requiring earlier and more active management. If a 'no delay' management is well recognized, its modes are still discussed. Immediate delivery of blood products with ratios close to 1:1:1 for RBC units/fresh frozen plasma/platelet concentrates, through massive transfusion protocol using blood packs, has been advocated, but yet this approach is not evidence-based. Secondly, a targeted strategy to provide fibrinogen concentrates is under evaluation. Tranexamic acid is effective in trauma patients. Recombinant factor VIIa should only be used on a compassionate basis.
