| Abstract: | External counterpressure with a gravity suit was used to control intractable postoperative bleeding in 4 urologic patients. Two patients had coagulation defects, and 2 had been unsuccessfully reexplored prior to application of the G-suit. The bleeding was controlled with preservation and restoration of vital signs in each case. In 3 cases external counterpressure may have been lifesaving. |
