Haemostatic Effects of Topical Ankaferd Blood Stopper® On Bleeding Time in A Rat Abdominal Aortic Bleeding Model
Abstract
Introduction:
The use of topical haemostatic agents has been
popularised in recent years in many areas of surgery. We aimed to determine
whether Ankaferd blood stopper® (ABS) can shorten the bleeding time
and decrease the amount of bleeding in a rat abdominal aortic bleeding model.
Patients
and Methods: A total of 40 rats were randomly divided into
four groups (n= 10 in each group). Saline- and ABS-soaked gauzes were applied
to rats that had not received any pre-treatment in Groups 1 and 2, while
saline- and ABS-soaked gauzes were applied to rats that had received
acetylsalicylic acid plus oral clopidrogel for 5 days in Groups 3 and 4. An
incision of about 1 mm was made over the aorta just proximal to the iliac
bifurcation. Mean bleeding time (MBT) and mean bleeding amount (MBA) were
determined and compared.
Results: There
were no significant differences in the age, weight and blood sample laboratory
results of rats. Shorter MBT and less MBA were determined in ABS-soaked groups
and the differences were statistically significant.
