Biologic Hemostatic Agents in Obstetrics and Gynecology

Abstract: In Obstetrics and Gynecology, the practice of biologic hemostatic agents in the field are generally used to augment the basic tenets of hemostasis to decrease the morbidity and mortality of such procedures. These hemostatic agents work along with the body’s physiology to rapidly aid in platelet plug formation, activation of the clotting cascade, the creation of fibrin, and to form a stable clot. The four main sub-categories of hemostatic agents include mechanical, biological, flowable, and fibrin sealants. Mec… Show more

“…In obstetrics occasionally haemorrhage may arise after abdominal or vaginal delivery as an uncontrollable uterine, vaginal, or pelvic haemorrhage [11]. Furthermore, postpartum haemorrhage may be potentially fatal and haemorrhage during caesarean section is the leading cause of morbidity [12]. In oncological surgery, a perioperative blood loss of more than 1liter complicates 15-40% of radical oncological operations, resulting in transfusion rates of 30-60%, while uncontrollable and possibly life-threatening bleeding may occur during lymphadenectomy and debulking for advanced ovarian cancer [10,11].…”

“…In obstetrics, traditional techniques for controlling postpartum haemorrhage are uterotonic agents, vessel ligation, packing, balloon tamponade, over sewing the placental bed, compression sutures, or uterine artery embolization. In case of failure, topic haemostats can be applied [12].…”
