Management of bleeding after open heart surgery

Meer over het boek

Bleeding disorders after open heart surgery have remained one of the major causes for morbidity after this intervention. This book comes as a practical guide for all those who treat patients who have undergone open heart surgery. Two important aspects of this book are the authors' unique method of testing platelet activity on extracellular matrices with electron microscopy, and their vast clinical experience with transfusion using fresh whole blood rather than blood components.
