Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to compare the occurrence of thromboembolic complications between two treatments, 4-factor prothrombin complex concentrate (4F-PCC) and factor VIII inhibitor bypassing activity (FEIBA), during cardiac surgery.
- Data was retrospectively analyzed from a university hospital involving patients who underwent cardiac procedures with cardiopulmonary bypass, focusing on various medical outcomes.
- Results indicated no significant difference in thromboembolic events, acute kidney injuries, or hospital stays between the two treatment groups, although variations in blood product usage were noted.
Neurological complications of cardiac surgery have a large effect on patient outcomes. In this review, the value of several modes of central nervous system monitoring for improving perioperative care is critiqued. The electroencephalogram (EEG) has been used as a means for detecting brain ischemia.

A comprehensive preoperative examination with specific focus on graft functioning is required, and the anesthesiologist needs pay close attention to considerations of immunosuppressive regimens, blood product administration, and the risk benefits of invasive monitoring in these immunosuppressed patients.
