Ep. 2: CABG Surgery, Post Op Bleeding

In this episode of At The Bedside, Vicki Carlisle and perfusionist Dr. Samir Patel break down post-operative bleeding in CABG patients. They explore the difference between surgical and medical causes, the role of cardiopulmonary bypass, and the dangerous “lethal triad” of hypothermia, acidosis, and coagulopathy. With real-world insights from both the ICU and the OR, this episode highlights how early detection and targeted intervention can make all the difference in patient outcomes.
