Perioperative changes in platelet count and function in patients undergoing cardiac surgery
Background: Patients undergoing cardiac surgery are at increased risk of bleeding due to multifactorial coagulopathies. In the present study, we aimed at investigating the changes in platelet count and function during and after surgery as well as determining the association of the platelet dysfunction with bleeding and transfusion requirements in these patients. Methods: A total o...
متن کاملPlatelet count and function in paediatric cardiac surgery: a prospective observational study.
BACKGROUND Platelet deficiency, impaired platelet function, or both increase the risk of bleeding complications. We assessed platelet count and function during and after paediatric cardiac surgery. Secondary aims included the effect of modified ultrafiltration, identification of factors associated with platelet dysfunction, and to assess associations between platelet function and transfusion re...
متن کاملTranexamic acid in paediatric cardiac surgery.
BACKGROUND & OBJECTIVES Antifibrinolytic agents are used commonly in adult cardiac surgery to reduce postoperative blood loss. Paucity of literature on the use of a newer antifibrinolytic agent tranexamic acid (TA) in children undergoing cardiac surgery promoted us to conduct this study in children with cyanotic heart disease. METHODS One hundred and twenty consecutive children with cyanotic ...
متن کاملGut permeability in paediatric cardiac surgery.
BACKGROUND Intestinal mucosal ischaemia can occur in infants and children during and after cardiac surgery. Severe decreases in mucosal perfusion may cause complications such as necrotizing enterocolitis and postoperative mortality. We investigated gut permeability in paediatric patients undergoing cardiac surgery using the dual sugar permeability test and absorption of two other saccharides. ...
متن کاملComputational fluid dynamics in paediatric cardiac surgery
Computational fluid dynamics techniques have been applied to study both the local and the global haemodynamics created by different surgical reconstructions, currently used to treat complex congenital heart defects. These operations are characterised by competition of flows which can lead to postoperative failure of the surgical treatment. Different techniques have been used in order to improve...
