This unique volume presents the cutting edge of haemostasis in surgery and includes the advances in the science pertaining to related important medical and surgical problems. It is the only book that includes all the surgical subspecialties focusing specifically on the problems of haemostasis in each field. State-of-the-art laboratory and clinical reviews are included and modern devices used in the different specialties are also covered. The contributors are well-known authorities in their special fields and haematological area. Each is covered comprehensively with special emphasis on unanswered questions. The book is addressed to all surgeons and physicians with an interest in this exciting field.

This book offers a highly informative guide to surgical remedies for massive hemorrhage and the management of consumptive coagulopathy during cesarean section. Featuring extensive illustrations and videos coupled with detailed anatomical figures to offer readers vivid insights, it discusses the history of uterine hemostatic methods and explains their evolution and the benefits of using compression sutures. Further, it addresses the treatment of consumptive coagulopathy with massive hemorrhage, which can be complicated during cesarean section. It is broadly known that ligation of the internal iliac artery is not always effective in hemostasis of uterine bleeding: the success rate of hemostasis is only 40-60%, because uterine blood flow during pregnancy differs considerably from the normal flow. Moreover, the number of complex collateral arteries formed during pregnancy make the situation more complicated, especially in the case of placenta previa. This book introduces new clinical practice guidelines for critical obstetrical hemorrhage, helping obstetricians successfully manage consumptive coagulopathy. It offers a new and indispensable reference guide for all obstetricians, not only for residents, but also for experienced practitioners.

A definitive, accessible, and reliable resource which provides a solid foundation of the knowledge and basic science needed to hone all of the core surgical skills used in surgical settings. Presented in a clear and accessible way it addresses the cross-specialty aspects of surgery applicable to all trainees.

This book provides a comprehensive guide to the surgical skills required during general surgery. General Concepts are covered with descriptions of basic terminology, the logic behind specific approaches, limitations of specific skills, technical and practical considerations, and safety of using specific approaches and skills. More advanced topics including gastro-intestinal anastomosis, exploring a patient after a major trauma, and managing crisis situations are also discussed, as well as current controversies and future directions within general surgery. Fundamentals of General Surgery is relevant to trainees in general surgery and its subspecialties, and aims to give them an easy to access resource that contains real life examples, iconography, and recommended further reading.

Medical knowledge about blood, its use in transfusions, and blood products has grown exponentially, as well as awareness about its safety, risks and costs. In a discipline where risks are proportional to benefits, medical specialists involved in open heart surgery need to have the latest information to make informed decisions. Dr. Attar's work reflects the contributors' direct interest and experience in blood and cardiac surgery introducing the latest information on blood and its use, hemostasis, blood conservation techniques and safety, the risks involved, alternatives to blood transfusions, the diagnosis and therapy of coagulopathy associated with cardiac surgery, and medicolegal aspects. Medical advances include the latest intraoperative diagnostic measures for platelet functions and therapy strategies for hemostasis abnormalities with cardiac surgery. This work is unique for its extensive and critical description of instruments and tests used intraoperatively, especially for the evaluation of the coagulation factors and platelets, the algorithms for transfusion guidelines and the detailed application of APROTININ and other antifibrinolytic agents in minimizing bleeding in cardiac surgery. Written for cardiac and transplant specialists -- from surgeons, anesthesiologists, surgical nurses to perfusionists -- this valuable and timely reference thoroughly explores the subject of blood transfusions in open heart surgery, its clinical applications, the current status of blood substitutes and important legal aspects.
