See Epsilon aminocaproic acid (EACA) C.9. Two hours later, estimated blood loss (EBL) is approximately 2 L and the patient has been resuscitated with 3 units of packed red blood cells (pRBCs), 229 mL intraoperative cell salvage (cell saver), and 500 mL albumin in addition to 4 L crystalloid. The surgeon says the field is still "oozy" and there is ongoing blood loss. What are your concerns for resuscitation moving forward? How will you guide your resuscitation? C.II-14.
