Abstract

Introduction: Appropriate replacement of blood losses is essential to reduce morbidity and mortality in the surgical pediatric patient.
Objective: Non-systematic reviewof the literature on the management of perioperative bleeding in children.
Methodology: A systematic literature review using Pubmed, Medline, Ovid and Cochrane databases was completed on articles describing the management of perioperative bleeding in children.
Results: Readiness is a must in situations where massive bleeding is expected. You should be knowledgeable about the indications for transfusion therapy, the prevention and management of complications of massive transfusion and the use of perioperative hemostatic agents when indicated.
