Abstract
Hemostatic materials are essential for the treatment of trauma patients with massive blood loss in battlefields and disaster environments. According to the site and severity of trauma, different types of hemostatic materials need to be used to stop bleeding urgently. At present, first-aid hemostatic materials for bleeding on body surface wounds, extremities and junctions have been well applied. However, in the case of deep bleeding wounds in the thoracic and abdominal cavity and internal organs and even non-compressible hemostasis, there are still no ideal hemostatic materials in early emergency treatment. In this review, the authors elaborate the classification and mechanism of hemostatic materials and their application in trauma first aid, so as to provide references for the use of hemostatic materials in first aid.
