Haemophilia and inhibitors. 2: surgical management.
Part 1 of this two-part unit on haemophilia and inhibitors examined the condition of haemophilia, the problem of inhibitors and practical challenges nurses may face in surgical management. This second part examines a case study of a 58-year-old man with severe haemophilia and an inhibitor. Communication and involvement with the patient, caregivers, allied departments and the multidisciplinary team were integral to the procedure's success. This, in addition to detailed planning and continuity of care, is crucial for a successful outcome.
