Influence of Human Factors on Coagulation Management in Cardiac Surgery: A Retrospective Analysis
Authors' conclusion
No association between the number of cases performed per year and the administration of coagulation products was found.
Study context
- Population
- Patients undergoing a wide range of cardiac surgeries, anesthetized by 8 cardiac anesthesiologists8 anesthesiologists
- Participants
- 578 patients
- Exposure
- Anesthesiologist exposure, on-call status and sex
- Outcome
- Coagulation product transfusion rate by anesthesiologist exposure
Methodological detailssingle-centre
- Single-centre
Main finding
As reported in the abstract
- Substantial variation in individual administration rates of coagulation products
- More-exposed vs Less-exposed: P = 0.23
Observational data: associations, not effects.
Further findings
Coagulation product administration when on-call
- No difference when on-call
- P = 0.96
Coagulation product administration by anesthesiologist sex
- 2 highest administration rates among the 2 female anesthesiologists (descriptive)
