  • Title: Postpartum hemorrhage: use of hemostatic combat gauze.
    Author: Schmid BC, Rezniczek GA, Rolf N, Maul H.
    Journal: Am J Obstet Gynecol; 2012 Jan; 206(1):e12-3. PubMed ID: 22011588.
    Abstract:
    Cheap and simple interventions that are intended to minimize postpartum hemorrhage are of major public health concern. We report a case of postpartum hemorrhage in which conservative interventions had failed. The use of a chitosan-covered gauze that originally was developed for combat trauma allowed us to achieve hemostasis, and a seemingly inevitable hysterectomy was avoided.
