Bleeding complications of surgery in the hospital outpatient department and ambulatory surgery center environment are major burdens that lead to worse clinical outcomes, despite the use of careful surgical technique, or hemostats. The management of surgical hemostasis is further complicated by the expanding surgical armamentarium, with new and emerging topical hemostatic agents, each of which has a distinct mechanism of action (MOA) and applications, adding complexity to surgeons’ and other healthcare providers (HCPs) clinical decision-making when selecting appropriate and effective TH agents in a specific clinical situation. This program is aimed at improving knowledge and bridging practice gaps among surgeons regarding the proper selection, preparation, and application of TH agents in the HOPD and ASC environment.
This on-demand webcast will be available with synchronized slides and video/audio.
