Introduction:
The authors propose a protocol to avoid bleeding complications in patients with bleeding disorders.
Material And Method:
When a general anesthesia or trunk nerve infiltration is indicated, clotting factor concentrates are to be used in patients with severe bleeding disorders. Desmopressin is to be used in patients with mild bleeding disorders but who are good responders and in patients with thrombopathy. An antifibrinolytic treatment and a fibrin glue are also used. Ninety-six patients underwent 107 extractions with this protocol.
Results:
Only two patients had bleeding complications requiring an additional treatment.
Discussion:
In case of bleeding disorders, the treatment depends on disease severity and type of anesthesia. A general treatment (clotting factor concentrates or desmopressin) is indicated with general anesthesia and with local anesthesia in severe bleeding disorders, but not absolutely necessary with local anesthesia in mild bleeding disorders. However, desmopressin can used in all good responders.
