Thanks - good read.

Regarding Alvarez's use of rFVIIa, it had absolutely zero bearing on that casualty surviving... but good for him for trying everything he could think of in a difficult situation.

At best rFVIIA is a band-aid to buy some time to correct a coaguloapthy while you are getting control of surgical bleeding.
