Between 2% and 8% of patients return to the theatre for mediastinal bleeding following cardiac surgery. In the majority of patients, a surgical source of bleeding is identified. Both mediastinal bleeding and re-exploration are associated with increased morbidity and mortality and the use of blood products. The aim of this study was to develop a 'haemostasis checklist' with the intention of reducing mediastinal bleeding and re-exploration following cardiac surgery.
