Actually, it was WoundStat not QuickClot that had the issues with future PEs... and it isn't from inhaling the powder. One of the problems found with with WoundStat is that could damaged the inside of blood vessels causing allowing clots to form on the dammaged tissue. These clots have the potential of breaking off and lodging elsewhere, like the lungs. I was unable to find a reference to QuickClot or Celox having similar complications and NONE of the hemostatic agent impregnated gauze products have these issues.

The information I have indicates that the next TCCC (2011) will likely have a new powdered hemostatic as a last resort treatment if the Combat Gauze failed to work.
