简要总结
The aim of this study was to evaluate the efficacy and safety to use external haemostatic between Axiostat® (Chitosan haemostatic dressing) and conventional cotton gauze dressing as a pre hospital acute hemorrhagic control in trauma in ambulance settings.
详细描述
Abstract:
Accidents and trauma comprise leading causes of death and disability throughout the world. In developing countries such as India, where emergency trauma care is still in its infancy, it accounts for almost 10% deaths every year. Lack of adequate pre-hospital care and uncontrolled bleeding from wound site are stated to be the prominent reasons for such deaths.
In this study, a novel chitosan-based haemostatic dressing (Axiostat®, Axio Biosolutions, India) was investigated as an initial hemorrhage controlling device in pre-hospital scenario. The study was conducted with the help of 35 Emergency Medical Technicians (EMTs).
A total of 133 patients with scalp wound injury were identified for the study, of which 104 patients meeting the selection criteria were included in the study. The selected patients were randomly assigned into two groups, the test group consisting of 47 subjects received Axiostat® treatment; whereas, 57 subjects in the control group were treated with a conventional cotton-gauze dressing. All subjects needed suturing as the subjects included in the study were brought with open scalp wounds.
The Axiostat® showed a superior efficacy in controlling bleeding in comparison to the cotton gauze. The average time for haemostasis with cotton gauze dressing was about 18.56 ± 5.04 minutes; while with Axiostat® haemostasis was achieved in less than 5 minutes (4.68 ± 1.04 min).

- •A non-survivable injury as per the investigators' discretion.
- •Patients who in the opinion of the investigator may not complete the study for any reason, e.g. Patients requiring immediate suturing. Grossly infected wounds that may reasonably be expected to require multiple debridement procedures prior to clearance of bacteria and non-viable tissue from the wound, in case of old wound.
