•<strong>Hemostasis</strong> <strong>in</strong> neurosurgery<br />
•Methods and examples<br />
Presentation
Goal<br />
• Basic understand<strong>in</strong>g of hemostasis<br />
• Why hemostasis is so important<br />
• Knowledge of the major hemostatic methods
Surgical hemostasis ≠physiological hemostasis
Postoperative rebleed
Postoperative hemorrhage
Reasons for us<strong>in</strong>g products of <strong>in</strong>struments<br />
• it is the habit HERE<br />
• the prof. says so!<br />
• I was learned that way<br />
• I am used to it<br />
• there are no alternatives<br />
• I am conv<strong>in</strong>ced this is the best
Hemostatic methods&<strong>in</strong>struments<br />
• Mechanical<br />
• Thermal<br />
• Chemical<br />
• Physiological<br />
• Comb<strong>in</strong>ation
Woundbed
Dry and clear
Which hemostat to use?
Some remarks on surgical techniques&materials<br />
• Do YOU have the knowledge of a product?<br />
• Where does your knowledge comes from?<br />
• Does the product what is has to do or what the company promises?<br />
• Do you use the product properly?<br />
• A fool with a tool is still a fool
