Description
This text is intended to be of use to anaesthesiologists, surgeons, obstetricians and specialists in transfusion medicine who must manage patients with pre-existing or acquired coagulopathies, using blood or blood products as well as other therapeutic modalities. This book presents a broad, global approach to each specific disease or pathophysiologic process, avoiding specific institutional or individual viewpoints. It also offers critical analyses of equipment and methods used to monitor haemostasis and haemotherapy. Topics covered include: clinical application of haemostasis, anticoagulation, blood and blood product transfusion; approaches for avoiding transfusion; pharmacological methods for reducing blood loss in the perioperative period (preoperative, intraoperative and postoperative); perioperative evaluation and management of anaemia; and blood coagulation during liver, kidney and pancreas transplantation.

Content
Part 1 Haemostatic mechanisms: normal haemostasis; normal development of the haematopoietic system; pre-existing haemostatic defects and bleeding disorders; hypercoagulation and thrombotic disorders; pharmacologic manipulation of haemostasis - anticoagulation; pharmacologic manipulation of coagulation - protamine and other heparin antagonists; pharmacologic manipulation of coagulation - promotion of haemostasis. Part 2 Clinical evaluation of patients with haemostatic dysfunction - clinical coagulation laboratory evaluation of haemostasis in the perioperative period; medical instrumentation for intraoperative evaluation of haemostasis; perioperative blood loss; approach to the bleeding patient. Part 3 Transfusion therapy: principles of transfusion medicine; blood component therapy; infectious risks of transfusions; complications of transfusion therapy; medicolegal aspects of transfusion therapy. Part 4 Alternatives to transfusion therapy: haemodilution - physiology and limits of anaemia; autotransfusion - methods and complications; induced hypotension; blood substitutes. Part 5 Special concerns: perioperative evaluation and management of anaemia; polycythaemia, methemoglobinaemia and porphyria - perioperative evaluation and management; perioperative coagulopathy - massive transfusions; perioperative coagulopathy - cardiac surgery; perioperative coagulopathy - obstetrics; neonatal coagulopathies - diagnosis and management; blood coagulation during liver, kidney and pancreas transplantation.
