Gray platelet syndrome: Management of Perioperative Bleeding in Redo Cardiac Surgery
We hereby describe the perioperative bleeding prevention and management of a patient with GPS requiring multiple redo cardiac surgeries.
Trends and Outcomes of Red Blood Cell Transfusion in Patients Undergoing Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement in the United States
RBC transfusion is associated with worse clinical outcomes in TAVR patients without bleeding, but not in those with overt bleeding.
A Patient With Remote Heparin-Induced Thrombocytopenia and Antiphospholipid Syndrome Requiring Cardiopulmonary Bypass: Do Current Guidelines Apply?
Anticoagulation for cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) is required to prevent acute disseminated intravascular coagulation and clot formation within the bypass circuit.
Preoperative Anemia and Outcomes in Cardiovascular Surgery: Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis
Preoperative anemia is associated with adverse outcomes after cardiac surgery.
Intraoperative Autologous Blood Donation Leads to Fewer Transfusions in Cardiac Surgery
IAD use is associated with reduced transfusions in cardiac surgery and may be considered a complementary aspect of blood conservation.
Review of von Willebrand Disease and Acquired von Willebrand Syndrome for Patients Undergoing Cardiac Surgery
Thus, understanding the mechanism of vWD and the treatment options available for vWD is essential for guiding the care of cardiac surgery patients.
Cardiopulmonary Bypass Strategy to Facilitate Transfusion-Free Congenital Heart Surgery in Neonates and Infants
Bloodless CPB circuit priming should become a widespread reality, even in neonates and young infants, in any open-heart procedure.
Optimizing Perioperative Blood and Coagulation Management During Cardiac Surgery
Patient blood management includes many options to improve outcome and should be combined in a multidisciplinary approach.
Whole Blood Platelet Aggregation Kinetics Under Cardiopulmonary Bypass: A Pilot Study
Assessing the platelets’ functional status during surgery on cardiopulmonary bypass is challenging.
Perioperative Blood Conservation: Guidelines to Practice
The formulation of clinical practice guidelines are complex, resource-intense processes for summarizing evidence-based best practices, yet alone are insufficient for translating guidelines to practice.
Effect of Fibrinogen Concentrate vs Cryoprecipitate on Blood Component Transfusion After Cardiac Surgery The FIBRES Randomized Clinical Trial
In patients undergoing cardiac surgery who develop clinically significant bleeding and hypofibrinogenemia after cardiopulmonary bypass, fibrinogen concentrate is noninferior to cryoprecipitate with regard to number of blood components transfused in a 24-hour period post bypass.
Novel Use of Cangrelor with Heparin During Cardiopulmonary Bypass in Patients with Heparin-induced Thrombocytopenia who Require Cardiovascular Surgery: A Case Series
Optimal anticoagulation strategy during cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) remains uncertain in patients with heparin-induced thrombocytopenia (HIT) who require urgent/emergent cardiac surgery.
