TY - CHAP M1 - Book, Section TI - Coagulopathy, Bleeding, and Cardiac Anesthesia Emergencies A1 - Wasnick, John D. A1 - Nicoara, Alina Y1 - 2019 N1 - T2 - Cardiac Anesthesia and Transesophageal Echocardiography, 2e AB - Bleeding frequently complicates both elective and emergency cardiac surgery. Innumerable surgical database analyses undertaken in recent years have demonstrated the deleterious effects of blood and blood component transfusion in cardiac surgery patients. Conversely, there are other studies that highlight the negative effects of failing to transfuse. This chapter will examine the causes, prevention, and management of perioperative bleeding in cardiac surgery. Additionally, since many cardiac surgical emergencies are associated with increased bleeding these too will be reviewed.
