Alternative blood products

[Sa'ad Lahri]

Hi all

Got asked the following two questions in our Emergency Medicine basic
sciences exam. Could you help with either resources or a short explanation
and your current experience.

1.write short notes on chitosan products as adjuncts to haemorrhage
control including their mechanism of action (7 marks)

2.discuss the role of bovine haemoglobin as an oxygen bridge where blood
products are not available (8 marks)

I have no experience using either of these products

kind regards
Sa'ad
