Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
What you can do is first never ever do intramuscular injection, if needed. Can transfuse fresh frozen plasma product, if required, in emergency. Second, factor 8 is now available but expensive can help you from bleeding. Also, desmopressin intranasal is also available alternatively.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Ruby
