Abstract
Trostin, prepared from fresh bovine brain thromboplastin for the control of hemorrhages, was clinically tested on such otolaryngological operations as A, tonsillectomy B, Sinectomy C, total extirpation of the paranasal cancer D, Laryngectomy E, operation of the lingual cancer and F, palatoplastik and it was found Trostin was effective in shortening bleeding-time and in decreasing blood-sheed.
Trostin appeared to be most effective 1 hour or so after its intravenous injection.
Side effect was found in no case.
It is desirable to be injected as slowly as possible.
From these findings, Trostin is a potent and recommendable hemostatic to be used in otolaryngological operations.
