Surgical Emergencies in Patients with Hemophilia A-What to Expect

Healthcare (Basel). 2024 Mar 7;12(6):610. doi: 10.3390/healthcare12060610.

Abstract

Surgical emergencies in patients with hemophilia A represent a major risk of mortality without proper multidisciplinary management and require prompt and effective treatment to prevent complications and improve patient outcomes. We present a short number of cases that were hospitalized in the I-II Surgery Clinic of the Emergency County Hospital "St. Spiridon" from Iasi, Romania, with hemophilia A requiring surgical emergencies. The timing of surgical intervention is very important, so the indication for surgical intervention must be made judiciously and without delay. Consequently, it is vital to ensure access to hemostatic support so surgery can be performed on these patients, ultimately saving their lives.
