Advancing Surgical Bleeding Management
Tuesday, March 18
12:30 - 13:30 CET
This symposium will bring together experts to explore the evolving landscape of hemostasis management and its impact on clinical practice.
The discussion will begin with strategies for rebalancing hemostasis in patients on Factor Xa inhibitors, highlighting current guidelines, emerging evidence from the PROXY study, and how these insights will shape preemptive management approaches. It will then move to the role of factor concentrates in cardiac surgery, where findings from the FIBRES and FARES trials will be examined to demonstrate their superiority in controlling bleeding and improving patient outcomes. Real-world surgical cases will illustrate the challenges of unexpected bleeding in the operating room, emphasizing the critical role of factor concentrates in managing complex scenarios.
The symposium will conclude with an interactive panel discussion, where experts will address audience questions and provide perspectives on the future of bleeding management in clinical practice.
