Fig. 1 Diagram shows construction plan of impacting device, which consists of supporter, impacting handle, piston handle, power bullet, and powder-actuated fastening tool. Device can produce 300 N–5.7 kN of force to induce trauma to abdominal organs of rabbits, dogs, and swine. Reprinted with permission from [16] Li Z, Dong XZ, You FS, et al. Establishment of animal model of intraperitoneal bleeding in rabbits. Chin J Comp Med 2006; 16:217–219.

Fig. 4A 2-year-old 19-kg female dog after hepatic trauma. Real-time contrast-enhanced sonographic images show focal injection of hemostatic agents. Puncture needle is inserted precisely in sequence into injury site (thick arrows, A) with contrast pulse sequencing guidance and into bleeding site (thick arrow, B) with microvascular density guidance. Injection needle (thin arrows) is hyperechoic.
