In addition to my first question, if a haemostatic dressing, was for argument sake, ‘faulty’ in that the dressing was not properly coated with the haemostatic agent during manufacturing, would the paper-like dressing still be affective in controlling a bleed? The surface are of the material seems to be less than that of ordinary gauze. Thank you for taking time to review my questions.
Good day, I hope you are well. A TCCC action card mentions that if initial wound packing with haemostats dressing fails, you should remove the haemostat and then apply a new one and start the process again. However, if plane gauze fails to work, it suggests that you leave it it in place and add more guard on top. Is there a specific reason for these two different approaches?
