Hemostatic agents

Hemostatic agents, also known as hemostatic agents, are an important category of medications used to control bleeding. These agents can be used to treat various types of bleeding, including bleeding from wounds, after surgery, nosebleeds, and bleeding associated with poor circulation.

Hemostatic agents can be divided into several categories depending on their mechanism of action. One of the most common categories are drugs that act on blood clotting. These agents may include fibrinolytic drugs, which help break down fibrin, a major component of the blood clotting system.

Another category of hemostatic agents are agents that act on vascular plasticity. These agents may include adrenergic agonists, which can constrict blood vessels and reduce blood flow.

Another category of hemostatic agents are agents that act on the properties of the surface of blood vessels. These agents may include hemostatic sponges, which are placed on the wound and can quickly stop bleeding.

Hemostatic agents can also be used to prevent bleeding, especially during surgery. In some cases, it may be necessary to use several different hemostatic agents to achieve optimal effect.

However, as with all medicines, hemostatic agents may have side effects. Some of the possible side effects include allergic reactions, dizziness, nausea, vomiting and increased bleeding. Therefore, before using hemostatic agents, you must consult your doctor and strictly follow the instructions for use.

In general, hemostatic agents are an important medicine for stopping bleeding and their use can save the lives of patients in critical situations. However, as with any medicine, they must be used with caution and only as prescribed by a doctor.

Hemostatic agents (haemostatica; synonym - hemostatic agents) are used to stop bleeding. They affect different parts of hemostasis, accelerating blood clotting, enhancing platelet aggregation or stimulating vascular contraction.

Hemostatic agents include:

1. Agents affecting the blood coagulation system (thrombin, fibrinogen, vitamin K, etc.)

2. Fibrinolysis inhibitors (aprotinin, aminocaproic acid)

3. Agents that enhance platelet aggregation (etamsylate, vikasol, etc.)

4. Local vasoconstrictors (adrenaline, hydrogen peroxide)

5. Dressings with a hemostatic effect (hemostatic sponges, wipes, gels)

Hemostatic agents are widely used in medical practice in the treatment of various bleedings and in the prevention of blood loss during operations. The correct choice of drug depends on the type and location of bleeding.
