Abstract
The combination of recombinant factor VIIa and fibrinogen is effective in treatment for bleeding where direct pressure, tourniquets, indirect pressure, surgical ligation, bandaging, and transfusion of blood or plasma products are typically used. The combination of factor VIIa and fibrinogen is administered intravenously, either sequentially or simultaneously. The compositions may be safely circulated in the blood vessels to sites of injury. This is effective for single or multiple external or internal wounds.
