Mechanisms of Physical Plasma-Incuded Blood Coagualtion: What Happens at the Treatment-Interface?

Major blood loss is a risk factor during surgery. Electrocauterization is frequently applied for necrotizing the tissue and thereby stops bleeding (hemostasis). However, the burned tissue is prone to detaching, generating the risk of internal bleeding after surgery. Plasma treatment might be an alternative to efficient hemostasis, which we have previously demonstrated in a mouse model and in human...
