The innovation for the treatment of hemodynamic shock and circulatory arrest
HemaShock® – The auto-transfusion emergency tourniquet
Patients suffering from hemorrhagic shock or cardiac arrest can in many cases be helped by restricting blood flow in the extremities, especially in the legs.
The solution: HemaShock® – Safe | User-friendly | Fast
The Auto-Transfusion Emergency Tourniquet – HemaShock® pushes the patient’s own blood with all its clotting factors and intact oxygen transport capacity from the legs (if necessary also from the arms) into the center to the vital organs. The re-entry of arterial blood flow into the corresponding extremities is blocked.
The general physiological effects of using HemaShock®:
-
Increased venous return to the heart
-
Increased stroke volume
This results in:
-
Increased systolic blood pressure
-
Increased diastolic blood pressure
Key Features:
- Secure
- User-friendly
- Fast
It is indicated for patients with a systolic blood pressure of less than 80 mm Hg caused by hemodynamic shock or circulatory arrest
Possible Applications and Tips:
- HemaShock® as a transfusion device
- In a patient suffering from shock due to blood loss, HemaShock acts as an automatic transfusion device. The blood from the extremities wrapped with HemaShock is diverted to the vital organs.
- HemaShock® as a tourniquet
- If there is a bleeding leg injury, first place HemaShock® on the injured leg. HemaShock® serves as a TOURNIQUET when it is rolled up higher than the injury.
- After HemaShock® has been positioned, the stocking-like mesh can be cut off above the injury. This ensures improved and blood-free access to the injury and better anatomical visibility.
- If the leg is fractured and unstable, apply axial traction. Pull the foot distally while rolling HemaShock® upwards.
- HemaShock® should not be left on an extremity for more than 120 minutes.
- The exact time of application of the HemaShock® should be noted on the label(s) provided and clearly marked on the appropriate limb(s).
