A simple technique to control iatrogenic solid organ injury haemorrhage
1Department of General Surgery, Glan Clwyd Hospital, Denbighshire, Rhyl LL18 5UJ, UK.
Abstract:
Haemostasis from iatrogenic solid organ injury can be difficult to achieve. We describe the use of oxidized regenerated cellulose (Surgicel) and a Hanna-Belfast suction diathermy device to control minor solid organ haemorrhage

01:05Introduction to Hemostasis
Hemostasis is a complex physiological process that prevents excessive bleeding when a blood vessel is injured. It's crucial for maintaining the integrity of the circulatory system, as it ensures that our blood remains fluid while still within the vascular network and yet clots to prevent blood loss upon vessel injury.
The three phases of hemostasis involve many clotting factors present in plasma and several substances released by platelets and injured tissue cells. It is a fast, localized, and...

01:28Esophageal Varices-II: Clinical Features and Management
Esophageal varices often manifest as gastrointestinal bleeding episodes, presenting symptoms like hematemesis (vomiting of blood), hematochezia (passing fresh blood via the rectum), and melena (black, tarry stools). Other signs can include weight loss, anorexia, abdominal discomfort, jaundice, pruritus, altered mental status, and muscle cramps.
