Abstract

The purpose of this study was to determine whether injection of hemostatic agents directly into an injury site under the guidance of contrast-enhanced sonography can effectively control hemorrhage due to hepatic trauma. Fifteen mixed-breed dogs 2-3 years old and weighing 17-20 kg were anesthetized with intramuscular pentobarbital sodium (30 mg/kg). A special impacting device was used to induce hepatic trauma with a mean force of 5.3 +/- 0.3 kN. Twelve of the 15 dogs had hepatic injuries with a grade of 3-4 or 4. The 12 dogs were divided into treatment and control groups. In the treatment group, hemocoagulase atrox (1 Klobusitzky unit) and alpha-cyanoacrylate (1 mL) were administered by transcutaneous injection into the injury site and the bleeding site, respectively, under the guidance of contrast-enhanced sonography. The control group received injections of 0.9% normal saline solution. After injection into the treatment group, no active bleeding was observed at the liver injury site. In the control group, evidence of active bleeding was present on contrast-enhanced sonograms. Laparotomy of the treatment group showed that hepatic injuries had been covered and adhered by clots and the glue membrane of the hemostatic agents and t...Continue Reading

Blood Clotting Disorders

Thrombophilia includes conditions with increased tendency for excessive blood clotting. Blood clotting occurs when the body has insufficient amounts of specialized proteins that make blood clot and stop bleeding. Here is the latest research on blood clotting disorders.
