Influence of Coagulation System Changes and Genetic Polymorphisms on Postoperative Bleeding after on Pump Cardiac Surgery

Menstrual bleeding after cardiac surgery.

OBJECTIVES We investigated whether open-heart surgery with the use of extracorporeal circulation has an impact on menstrual bleeding. METHODS The menstrual bleeding pattern was registered in fertile women undergoing open-heart surgery in 2010-12. Haematocrit and 24-h postoperative bleeding were compared with those of men undergoing cardiac surgery. RESULTS Women (n = 22), with mean age of 3...

Coagulation Measurement and Optimisation in Cardiac Surgery

Coagulation is a complex physiological balancing mechanism that maintains haemostasis when blood vessels are injured. A hypercoaguable state as seen in early sepsis, cancer or pregnancy can cause arterial and/or venous obstruction with disruption of blood-flow and end organ damage. Similarly a hypocoaguable state can cause catastrophic haemorrhage and lead to death. Up to 20% of all blood trans...
