Hemostasis Management of the Pediatric Surgical Patient: A Comprehensive Guide

As a valuable resource for pediatric practitioners and researchers, Hemostasis Management of the Pediatric Surgical Patient provides expert knowledge on the emerging area of pediatric hemostasis and its management. This book delves into the critical aspects of perioperative blood management in the pediatric population, including accurate estimation and monitoring of bleeding, as well as determining optimal treatment regimens for bleeding in pediatric surgical patients.

Understanding the Complexities of Pediatric Hemostasis

The coagulation system of children undergoes significant changes with age, resulting in marked physiological differences in the concentration of hemostatic proteins between children of different age groups and adults. Consequently, there are distinct differences in hemostatic management between adult and pediatric patients. This book bridges the gap by providing essential concepts in hemostasis, highlighting instances where pediatric and adult data conflict, and offering foundational information on disorders of hemostasis in children and blood bank management for pediatric patients.

Comprehensive Coverage of Perioperative Hemostatic Management

This book concisely covers the specifics of perioperative hemostatic management in neonates and children, including:

• Bedinine monitoring of coagulation and goal-directed treatment of coagulopathy
• Hemostatic management in the entire perioperative period, from preoperative assessment until discharge from the hospital

By providing a detailed understanding of pediatric hemostasis and its management, this book serves as a definitive guide for healthcare professionals seeking to improve patient outcomes in pediatric surgical settings.

A comprehensive resource covering pediatric hematology from basic physiology to pre-, intra-, and postoperative care of pediatric patients, Hemostasis Management of the Pediatric Surgical Patient is an essential addition to any medical library.
