Coagulopathies in Intensive Care Medicine: Balancing Act between Thrombosis and Bleeding
Patient Blood Management advocates an individualized treatment approach, tailored to each patient’s needs, in order to reduce unnecessary exposure to allogeneic blood products. The optimization of hemostasis and minimization of blood loss is of high importance when it comes to critical care patients...
