Injuries to the torso area remain the greatest treatment challenge, since external dressings and compression cannot be used here. Bleeding control strategies may thus offer more effective haemostatic management in these cases. Chitosan, a linear polysaccharide derived from chitin, has been considered as an ideal material for bleeding arrest. This study evaluated the potential of chitosan-based dressings relative to commercial gauze to minimise femoral artery haemorrhage in a swine model. Stable haemostasis was achieved in animals treated with chitosan fibre (CF) or chitosan sponge (CS), resulting in stabilisation of mean arterial pressure and a substantially higher survival rate (100% vs. 0% for gauze). Pigs receiving treatment with CF or CS dressings achieved haemostasis within 3.25\u2009\u00b1\u20091.26 or 2.67\u2009\u00b1\u20090.58\u2009min, respectively, significantly more rapidly than with commercial gauze (&gt;100\u2009min). Moreover, the survival of animals treated with chitosan-based dressings was dramatically prolonged (&gt;180\u2009min) relative to controls (60.92\u2009\u00b1\u20090.69\u2009min). In summary, chitosan-based dressings may be suitable first-line treatments for uncontrolled haemorrhage on the battlefield, and require further investigation into their use as alternatives to traditional dressings in prehospital emergency care.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1038\/s41598-019-51208-7","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2019,10,10]],"date-time":"2019-10-10T10:40:39Z","timestamp":1570704039000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1007\/springer_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":23,"title":["Evaluation of Chitosan-based Dressings in a Swine Model of Artery-Injury-Related Shock"],"prefix":"10.1038","volume":"9","author":[{"given":"Yao-Horng","family":"Wang","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Chuan-Chieh","family":"Liu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Juin-Hong","family":"Cherng","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Gang-Yi","family":"Fan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-4509-9572","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Yi-Wen","family":"Wang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Shu-Jen","family":"Chang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Zhi-Jie","family":"Hong","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Yung-Chang","family":"Lin","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-9698-8954","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Sheng-Der","family":"Hsu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"297","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2019,10,10]]},"reference":[{"key":"51208_CR1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"55","DOI":"10.1093\/milmed\/149.2.55","volume":"149","author":"RF Bellamy","year":"1984","unstructured":"Bellamy, R.
