Abstract:
The high incidence of bleeding after peripherally inserted central catheter (PICC) catheterization increases the risk of puncture site infection and unplanned extubation. Hemostatic dressings should be used in the early stages of catheterization to reduce blood infiltration. However, new hemostatic dressings have various types and advantages, which makes them difficult to choose dressings for medical staff. This paper introduces the types and hemostatic characteristics of novel functional hemostatic dressings, reviews the hemostatic mechanism and hemostatic effect of chitosan, cyanoacrylate gum, alginate, gelatin sponge and oxycellulose dressings in PICC puncture respectively, and prospects the development of new functional hemostatic dressings. It is expected that future hemostatic dressings will move towards multifunctionality and compositeness.

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,...

Extrinsic and Intrinsic Pathways of Hemostasis
The Extrinsic Pathway
The extrinsic pathway of coagulation is typically initiated by tissue damage that exposes blood to tissue factor (TF), a protein released by the damaged tissue cells outside the blood vessels—this interaction with TF triggers biochemical reactions involving specific clotting factors. The key player here is Factor VII, which...

Formation of the Platelet Plug
As the injured blood vessel contracts, endothelial cells undergo contraction, revealing collagen fibers in the basement membrane and underlying connective tissue. Furthermore, the plasma membrane of endothelial cells becomes adhesive, preparing the site for platelet adhesion. Platelets...
