Surgical hemostasis has become one of the fundamental principles for the advancement of surgery. The use of hemostatic agents is standard in many surgical specialties, although the lack of consensus or standardized classifications to determine intraoperative bleeding has led to their inappropriate selection on many occasions. The recommendations of international organizations highlight the need for a bleeding severity scale validated in clinical studies that allows selecting the hemostatic agent that best suits each case.
