Article Synopsis
- Acute hemorrhage is a major cause of death in injuries that could be survivable, leading to increased use of hemostatic agents like Combat Gauze in military settings since 2008.
- A study was conducted using Yorkshire swine to compare a new fibrin sealant patch with Combat Gauze after creating two types of hemorrhage injuries, evaluating factors like hemostasis and survival rates.
- Results showed no significant differences in hemostatic effectiveness between the two; however, the fibrin patch may offer benefits by being left in the body, potentially reducing the need for additional surgeries.
