Multivariable predictors of substantial blood loss in children undergoing craniosynostosis repair: implications for risk stratification
ConclusionsRisk for substantial intraoperative blood loss can be assessed using TEG parameters and platelet fibrinogen product, whereas the need for coagulation products is strongly related to low MA. Patients susceptible to substantial blood loss can be risk stratified based on their TEG/platelet fibrinogen product profile.
