What are the Risks Associated with Hemostatic Agents?
While hemostatic agents are beneficial, there are potential risks:
- Allergic Reactions: Some patients may have allergic reactions to specific agents. - Infection: If not applied under sterile conditions, there is a risk of infection. - Thrombosis: Overuse or misuse of systemic hemostatic drugs can lead to unwanted clot formation, increasing the risk of deep vein thrombosis (DVT) or pulmonary embolism.
