"Bleeding can kill you much faster than sepsis," says Jared Huston, highlighting the critical need to find effective methods to mitigate bleeding in emergent situations.
This treatment targets the vagus nerves to stimulate the spleen, preparing platelets to form clots, rather than blocking blood flow as traditional tourniquets do.
The research demonstrated that treated pigs experienced 50% less blood loss and a significant reduction in bleeding duration compared to untreated animals.
Their experiments also included mice with haemophilia, showing potential benefits for those with clotting disorders, suggesting wider applications for this technique.
