| Popis: | keywords A randomized controlled study using swabs of calcium alginate versus gauze was undertaken to evaluate the haemostatic capabilities and the shortening of operative time. Haemostasis in adenoidectomy was shown to be more effective and the operating time shortened (P = 0.05) by the use of calcium alginate. Haemostasis and operating time for tonsillectomy were not affected. |
