PRINCETON, N.J., March 07, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — CytoSorbents Corporation (NASDAQ: CTSO), a leader in the treatment of life-threatening conditions in the intensive care unit and cardiac surgery using blood purification, announces that hemoadsorption of antithrombotic drugs in cardiothoracic surgery has made its way into the new “2022 Guidelines for the Management of Severe Perioperative Bleeding” by the European Society of Anaesthesiology and Intensive Care (ESAIC) and was published in the European Journal of Anaesthesiology last week.

The aim of this second update to the guidelines previously published in 2017, was to provide an evidence-based set of recommendations to aid in the clinical management of patients at risk of surgical bleeding in a variety of clinical situations. The ESAIC Guideline Committee and Task Force worked with 20 expert affiliate co-authors to conduct a systematic literature search from 2015 – 2021, ultimately identifying approximately 138,000 articles that were assessed and, where appropriate, were used as new evidence to support the new guidelines.
