Characteristics of hemostasis system and hemorrhagic syndrome in infants with congenital heart disease in operations with cardiopulmonary bypass

Abstract

97 neonates were included in this prospective observational study. While using the exclusion criteria, two groups without demographic differences were formed: the first group included 35 patients with blood loss greater than 10 ml/kg in the first 4 hours postoperatively, the second one consisted of 46 patients who did not have such blood loss. Hemostatic standard tests and thromboelastography were performed before surgery, immediately after surgery and 24 hours after it. As a result, a detailed description of the changes of hemostasis in the perioperative period in newborns with CHD was developed. It was found out that significant postoperative bleeding increases the incidence of coagulopathy, resuscitation after surgery, duration of mechanical ventilation, length of stay at ICU and 30-day mortality. It is confirmed that the main pathogenetic mechanisms of increased bleeding in the first hours after the operation are due to cardiopulmonary bypass coagulopathy, the dynamics and implications of which are documented in our study. Also established are prognostic clinical and laboratory predictors of coagulopathy associated with severe multiple organ failure.
