Comparative Study
Evaluation of a new hemostatic agent Ankaferd Blood Stopper in experimental liver laceration.
Hemorrhage is a leading cause of death after trauma. It is also the major cause of operating room deaths among patients who undergo liver surgery. Various techniques and materials have been attempted to manage bleeding, but a standard method has not been defined yet. We studied the hemostatic effects of Ankaferd Blood Stopper on liver injury in comparison with regenerated oxidized cellulose. ⋯ ABS is as effective as Surgicel in achieving hemostasis following partial liver excision in an experimental rat model.
