Robert Stroud discusses the development of a patient blood management program (17:05 minutes).
Despite the study limitations, the authors found that protamine administration through radial artery route can effectively neutralize heparin without any significant coagulopathy and postoperative bleeding. We suggest using this derived low dose of protamine (total heparin dose/1.6) through radial arterial route can be practical and efficient to reverse the effect of heparin after cardiac surgery without using central route (ascending aorta or central venous line).
This review discusses established and emerging roles for multimodality imaging and focuses on the application of these technologies for patient selection, intraprocedural guidance, and the detection and quantification of acute and chronic complications of this novel procedure.
