Layperson Ability and Willingness to Use Hemostatic Dressings: A Randomized, Controlled Trial.

CONCLUSIONS: More than half of laypeople can apply hemostatic dressings, and they are most successful applying injectable sponges. Brief education increases laypeople's reported willingness to use hemostatic dressings. Educators and planners should consider including injectable sponges in their Stop the Bleed programs and products. PMID: 30874474 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
