Abstract BACKGROUND: Major bleeding after cardiac surgery is still a relatively common complication, requiring red blood cell (RBC) transfusions and use of procoagulants. The existing guidelines recommend a bleeding management..
Read MoreAbstract Direct oral anticoagulants (DOACs) are increasingly being used due to their improved efficacy/safety ratio and lower clinical and economic burden when compared to vitamin K antagonists. However, bleeding is..
Read MoreAbstract OBJECTIVES The primary objective was to predict bleeding after cardiac surgery with machine learning using the data from the ANZSCTS (Australia New Zealand Society of Cardiac and Thoracic Surgeons)..
Read MoreAbstract This study described the outcomes of patients receiving topical, nebulized, endobronchial, or systemic tranexamic acid (TXA) for bleeding events while on extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO). We performed a single-center..
Read MoreAbstract This study investigated changes in coagulation and associations with occurrence of bleeding and thrombosis during extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) therapy. The study included 100 adult ECMO-patients. Standard coagulation parameters,..
Read MoreAbstract ABO blood group has been shown to be a major determinant of plasma von Willebrand factor (vWF) levels. O blood group is associated with the lowest vWF levels and..
Read MoreAbstract Bleeding is a leading cause of perioperative mortality []. In a perioperative setting, damage control surgery with massive transfusion protocols (MTPs) are therapeutic approaches used clinically to manage patients..
Read MoreAbstract BACKGROUND Management of peri-operative bleeding is complex and involves multiple assessment tools and strategies to ensure optimal patient care with the goal of reducing morbidity and mortality. These updated..
Read MoreAbstract Objective No recent prospective studies have analyzed the accuracy of standard coagulation tests and thromboelastography (TEG) to identify patients with excessive microvascular bleeding following cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB). The aim..
Read MoreAbstract Inherited and acquired coagulopathy are frequently associated with major bleeding in severe trauma, cardiac surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass, and postpartum hemorrhage. Perioperative management is multifactorial and includes preoperative optimization..
Read MoreAbstract Cardiac surgical patients requiring extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) are at increased risk for hemorrhage due to necessary anticoagulation, in-situ cannulas, and disturbed hemostasis. We performed a retrospective, cross-sectional study..
Read MoreAbstract Purpose To describe bleeding and thrombotic events and their risk factors in patients receiving extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) for severe coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) and to evaluate their impact..
Read MoreAbstract Objective To evaluate the effectiveness of the 5-minute test (FMT), developed to record the amount of pericardial bleeding in patients undergoing general cardiac surgery, and determine the relationship between..
Read MoreAbstract Importance Post–cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) coagulopathy and bleeding are among the most common reasons for blood product transfusion in surgical practices. Current retrospective data suggest lower transfusion rates and blood loss..
Read MoreAbstract Pediatric patients, especially neonates and infants, undergoing cardiac surgery, are at particularly high risk for developing surgical bleeding. After separation from cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB), excessive bleeding in children frequently..
Read MoreAbstract Objectives Bleeding is a common problem during adult extracorporeal membranes oxygenation (ECMO) support, requiring blood transfusion for correction of volume depletion and coagulopathy. The goal of this study is..
Read MoreSummary Thromboelastometry point‐of‐care coagulation testing facilitates optimised management of bleeding. Previous thromboelastometry systems required the blood sample and liquid reagents to be pipetted in several manual steps by trained personnel...
Read MoreAbstract Bleeding following cardiac surgery that warrants transfusion of blood products is associated with significant complications, including increased mortality at 1 year following surgery. Factor concentrates, such as prothrombin complex..
