Abstract

Aims: Whether pre-hospital area or emergency department, the early diagnosis and control of bleeding is the first critical step in the treatment of trauma patients. This becomes increasingly critical as the victim-to-medical-personnel or equipment ratio becomes higher (disasters, wars and/or mass casualty events e.g.). We purposed to investigate the hemostatic effect of application of local oxidised cellulose powder on time to hemostasis time in a rat model with severe femoral artery bleeding.
