Use of Kaolin-Impregnated Gauze Aids in Hemostasis and Blood Loss Mitigation in a Penetrating Injury to the Bladder and Small Bowel.
Curēus 2023 October
Hemorrhage control can be technically challenging in penetrating injuries to the pelvis. In an era of decreased availability of blood, rapid hemostasis is critical to minimize blood loss, limit transfusions, and control contamination from hollow viscus injuries. QuikClot Control+® 12x12 Hemostatic Device(C+) (Teleflex Medical OEM, Plymouth, MN), a form of kaolin-impregnated gauze, maybe a helpful adjunct to ebb the flow of hemorrhage from large surface area wounds. We present a case in which C+ was utilized in the preperitoneal packing of a gunshot wound to the pelvis and aided in obtaining hemostasis while simultaneously allowing the team time to complete the remainder of the case. Though further large randomized control trials are required to identify the role of C+ in trauma laparotomy, it remains a tool in the surgeon's armamentarium when dealing with hemorrhage.
