    Title:
    Bleeding and Coagulopathy in Cardiac Surgery Patients

    Speaker:
    Margo Hoyler, MD
    Weill Cornell Medical Center

    Speaker Bio:
    Margo Hoyler is an Assistant Professor of Clinical Anesthesiology at Weill Cornell Medical Center, where she is a member of the Divisions of Cardiac Anesthesia and Critical Care Medicine.

    Dr. Hoyler’s academic interests include the perioperative management of frail patients and patient blood management. She serves on multiple national committees related to cardiac anesthesia and critical care, including the American Society of Anesthesiology Committee on Patient Blood Management. She is also a founding member and Vice Chair of the Society of Cardiovascular Anesthesiologists Critical Care Medicine Special Interest Group.

    Dr. Hoyler is board certified in anesthesiology, cardiac anesthesiology, critical care medicine and advanced perioperative transesophageal echocardiography.

    Abstract:
    Cardiac surgery accounts for up to 20% of red blood cell (RBC) transfusions in the United States, and cardiac surgery patients are at high risk of perioperative coagulopathy. This webinar will review the risk factors and mechanisms for coagulopathy in this unique patient population. In addition, this webinar will present cutting-edge evidence regarding bleeding and coagulopathy management in cardiac surgery patients, with an emphasis on the use of viscoelastic testing and factor/fibrinogen concentrates.


    Objectives:
    After this webinar, participants will be able to:

    1. Evaluate risk factors for coagulopathy in cardiac surgery patients, including mechanisms by which cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) leads to coagulopathy
    2. Apply current and emerging data to guide fibrinogen repletion strategies in cardiac surgery patients
    3. Develop a targeted strategy for coagulopathy treatment in cardiac surgery patients

    Abstract:
    The Rh blood group system has played a pivotal role in the evolution of transfusion medicine, from its early discovery to its ongoing impact on modern blood banking practices. This webinar will explore key historical milestones that shaped our understanding of the Rh system and examine both the well-known antigens and less familiar antigens that can present significant clinical challenges. Participants will gain insight into unique problems Rh antibodies can create in pretransfusion testing, antibody identification, and the provision of compatible blood. Through case-based discussion and practical examples, attendees will strengthen their understanding of the Rh system and its importance in ensuring safe and effective transfusion support.


    Objectives:
    After this webinar, participants will be able to:

    1. Describe important aspects of the RH blood group system revealed through a review of history.
    2. Identify widely familiar and less familiar antigens of the RH blood group system.
    3. Discuss circumstances in which RH antibodies present unique challenges in the blood bank.
