  • (n.) A medicine or application to arrest hemorrhage.

Example Sentences:

  • (3) The main objective of these experiments was to develop and characterize a new experimental model of venous thrombosis, and determine whether a combination of vascular wall damage (crushing with hemostat clamps) and prolonged stasis produced more reproducible clots than prolonged stasis per se.
  • (4) These results suggest that simultaneous measurements of XDP and plasmin-alpha 2PI complex in plasma would be valuable for the pharmacological or hemostatic assessment of thrombolytic therapy.

  • (6) Numerous hemostatic factors are involved in thrombosis.
  • (7) An argon beam coagulator was evaluated in 25 canine partial nephrectomies to determine its hemostatic capabilities, safety and degree of thermal injury to renal parenchyma.
  • (8) FUT showed regional anticoagulability, in which anticoagulating effects were firmly limited in extracorporeal circuit, and hemostatic time after ECC was significantly shortened by the use of FUT.
  • (9) Only those aspects of the hemostatic mechanism most relevant to the antithrombotic action of heparin and warfarin are discussed.
  • (10) Salvage cystectomy is a surgical procedure performed for hemostatic purposes in patients with massive hematuria, in addition to playing an symptomatic and humanitarian role.
  • (11) Routine laboratory parameters of the hemostatic system were normal with the exception of blood fibrinolytic activity.
  • (12) The disadvantage is that agents used to prevent thrombosis can place the hemostatic mechanism in jeopardy.
  • (13) Based on the cellular distribution of TF, it is hypothesized that intravascular initiation of coagulation requires induced expression by intravascular cells, and that the normal distribution of TF represents a hemostatic "envelope" ready to activate coagulation when vascular integrity is disrupted.
  • (14) The hemostatic effectiveness of the concentrate appeared to be satisfactory relative to untreated concentrates.
  • (15) Since the presentation was a frank breech at the end of the 39th week of pregnancy, cesarean section delivery was performed under good hemostatic control with transfusion of 7.3 x 10(11) platelets.

  • (18) Our results suggest that tumor necrosis factor could play an important part in the early activation of the hemostatic mechanism in septicemia.
  • (19) The favorable evolution and minimal hemostatic alterations in the majority of the patients with intrauterine fetal death, when early obstetric management was established, are discussed.
  • (20) Several hemostatic modalities should be available and applied depending on the anatomic location and type of bleeding lesions.

Styptic


Definition:

  • (a.) Producing contraction; stopping bleeding; having the quality of restraining hemorrhage when applied to the bleeding part; astringent.
  • (n.) A styptic medicine.

Example Sentences:

  • (1) One method relied primarily on hemostatic sutures, and the other involved the use of a styptic solution (Monsel's solution) and vaginal pack, thus avoiding the use of sutures altogether.
