Should Hemostat be mixed with 100 ml or 250 ml of saline?

The choice of dilution volume for Etamsylate should be based on specific circumstances, following the doctor's instructions and recommendations. The detailed analysis is as follows:

Etamsylate is a commonly used hemostatic agent, with main active ingredients including ethamsylate and tranexamic acid. It can be used in various situations such as surgical hemostasis and trauma-related bleeding control. When using Etamsylate, attention must be paid to the dilution volume of the drug. Typically, either 250 mL or 100 mL of saline solution may be selected for preparation. A 250 mL saline solution refers to mixing 250 mL of normal saline with a certain dose of the drug to form a diluted solution, which is suitable for administration of larger drug doses. In contrast, a 100 mL saline solution involves mixing 100 mL of normal saline with the drug and is appropriate for smaller drug doses. When selecting the dilution volume, it is important to consider that different drug doses require different dilution volumes to ensure both efficacy and safety. Additionally, the patient’s physical condition must also be taken into account.

Different clinical purposes may require different dilution volumes; for example, surgical hemostasis may require a higher drug concentration, whereas trauma-related bleeding control may use a lower concentration. Furthermore, proper administration methods and precautions must be observed to prevent adverse reactions or drug overdose.
