Abstract
Objectives: This study aimed to evaluate the clinical applications, observed haemostatic outcomes of a self-assembling peptide haemostat (PuraBond®) across a range of ENT surgical procedures using a large UK observational registry.
Methods: A two-cycle observational study of 600 patients at University Hospitals Birmingham NHS Foundation Trust (September 2019-July 2024). Data collected included patient demographics, comorbidities, anticoagulation status, surgical details, intra-operative haemostatic outcomes and post-operative complications.
Results: Intra-operative haemostasis was documented without the need for additional haemostatic intervention in 99.8% of cases (599/600). Immediate haemostasis-related complication rate was 0.2% (1/600). The overall complication rate was 3% per cent, with most complications unrelated to haemostasis or the use of PuraBond. The study limitations include participant heterogeneity, absence of a control group and small subspeciality sample sizes underscoring the need for comparative studies.
Conclusion: This registry demonstrates PuraBond's broad applicability in ENT surgery as an adjunct to routine haemostats and provides essential groundwork for designing future comparative trials.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Laryngology & Otology (JLO) is a leading, monthly journal containing original scientific articles and clinical records in otology, rhinology, laryngology and related specialties. Founded in 1887, JLO is absorbing reading for ENT specialists and trainees. The journal has an international outlook with contributions from around the world, relevant to all specialists in this area regardless of the country in which they practise. JLO contains main articles (original, review and historical), case reports and short reports as well as radiology, pathology or oncology in focus, a selection of abstracts, book reviews, letters to the editor, general notes and calendar, operative surgery techniques, and occasional supplements. It is fully illustrated and has become a definitive reference source in this fast-moving subject area. Published monthly an annual subscription is excellent value for money. Included in the subscription is access to the JLO interactive web site with searchable abstract database of the journal archive back to 1887.
