    Coagulopathy disturbances are often encountered during pediatric cardiac procedures involving cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB). Efficient management of perioperative blood transfusion strategy for pediatric patients undergoing complex heart surgery under CPB is based on a thorough understanding of the hemostatic and coagulation system events occurring during and after these procedures. This understanding plays a pivotal role in ensuring effective planning for the perioperative management of coagulation disturbances in these procedures.
