Abstract
THE CONTROL of hemorrhage is a critical step in first aid and field trauma care. Unfortunately, the materials and methods available to stop bleeding in prehospital care (gauze dressings, direct pressure, and tourniquets) have not changed greatly in 2000 years.1 Even in good hands they are not uniformly effective, and the occurrence of excessive bleeding or fatal hemorrhage from an accessible site is not uncommon.2Keywords
