Postoperative bleeding is one of the main causes of complications in
cardiovascular surgery, which highlights the importance of ensuring adequate
intraoperative hemostasis, providing a better patient outcome. This study
aimed to improve the prevention of postoperative bleeding in the
Cardiovascular Surgery Department of the Hospital Estadual Mário
Covas (Santo André, Brazil) using an adapted version of the Papworth
Haemostasis Checklist to assess the impact of this standardization on
bleeding rate, postoperative complications, reoperation, and mortality.
