Perioperative systemic haemostatic agents.

چکیده
Skilful surgery combined with blood-saving methods and careful management of blood coagulation will all help reduce unnecessary blood loss and transfusion requirements. Excessive surgical bleeding causes hypovolaemia, haemodynamic instability, anaemia and reduced oxygen delivery to tissues, with a subsequent increase in postoperative morbidity and mortality. The role of anaesthetists in managing surgical blood loss has increased greatly in the last decade. Position of the patient during surgery and the provision of a hypotensive anaesthetic regimen were once considered the most important contributions of the anaesthetist to decreasing blood loss. Now, several pharmacological haemostatic agents are being used by anaesthetists as blood-saving agents. After a brief discussion of the physiology of haemostasis, this article will review the evidence for the role of such agents in reducing perioperative blood loss and transfusion requirements.

[Use of desmopressin in children with inherited platelet dysfunctions undergoing adenotonsillar procedures].
INTRODUCTION AND GOALS Adenotonsillar surgery represents a major haemostatic challenge in paediatric patients with mild inherited platelet dysfunction. While there are recommendations for perioperative haemostatic management, there are no reports of the outcomes with the different recommendations in these children when undergoing adenotonsillectomy. Our objective was to evaluate the management ...
