May aid hemostasis management in pediatric cardiac critical care; leaves open needs for prospective validation of strategies.
OBJECTIVES: The objective of this article is to review the particular tendencies as well as specific concerns of bleeding and clotting in children with critical cardiac disease. DATA SOURCE: MEDLINE and PubMed. CONCLUSION: Children with critical heart disease are at particular risk for bleeding and clotting secondary to intrinsic as well as extrinsic factors. We hope that this review will aid the clinician in managing the unique challenges of bleeding and clotting in this patient population, and serve as a springboard for much needed research in this area.
