BLEEDING
This prospective, randomized, controlled trial indicates that CHM efficiently stops the bleeding of proximal anastomoses during CABG and may be useful for high-pressure anastomoses and multiple suture lines. In our study cohort, the time for successful hemostasis (mean 1.35 min) was comparable between CHM and GHM. Furthermore, CHM was associated with a decreased requirement for FFP and platelet transfusion. Thus, the hemostatic efficacy of CHM was found to be non-inferior to those of GHM in patients who had off-pump coronary grafting surgery.
