ABSTRACT
There are many challenging problems related to bleeding and anticoagulation in cardiac surgery. Practical guidelines, which are based on available evidence, can help to direct management issues of post-bypass bleeding, perioperative anticoagulation and the use of haemostatic agents. The patient's bleeding history is the most useful preoperative screening test of haemostasis. The input of a haematologist is often valuable in a number of areas, such as preoperative assessment of patients with a significant history of bleeding, or past history of heparin-induced thrombocytopenia, a lupus anticoagulant, or recent venous thromboembolism. Cardiothoracic surgeons, anaesthetists, perfusionists and haematologists can ensure 'best practice' by being actively involved in the development of 'local' transfusion and anticoagulation guidelines, hospital transfusion committee policies, and audits.
