abstract="This article presents the case of a patient with haemorrhagic shock due to self-inflicted stab wounds to the chest and upper abdomen during a suicide attempt. Prehospital packing with chitosan gauze resulted in hemostasis and stabilisation of the patient during transport to the hospital. For uncontrolled bleeding from penetrating trauma the use of hemostyptic agents is an important option. The authors believe that hemostyptic agents should be introduced into clinical praxis of emergency medical services (EMS) and their use should be trained by EMS personnel. © 2018, Springer Medizin Verlag GmbH, ein Teil von Springer Nature.<p /><p>Language: de</p>",
