Coagulation and Fibrinolytic Profile of Paediatric Patients Undergoing Cardiopulmonary Bypass
Abstract
The haemostatic system and the use of heparin during cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) have been studied extensively in adults but not in children. Results from adult trials cannot be extrapolated to children because of age-dependent physiologic differences in haemostasis. We studied 22 consecutive paediatric patients who underwent CPB at The Hospital for Sick Children, Toronto. Fibrinogen, factors II, V, VII, VIII, IX, XII, prekallikrein, protein …
